Transport without NFS

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have to put my dev system in a DMZ, accessed from outside by an external company to develop .

Is it possible to have Transport their development form the dev system to qual system without using NFS

Thanks for your help

To transport you need a shared directory. You can use CIFS (instead of NFS) or transport the data and cofiles using e. g. (s)ftp. If you do that latter you will have to manually add them to the buffer on the target system.

Thanks for your help

what do you mean by

"add them to the buffer on the target system"

copy to /usr/sap/trans ?

yes - and issuing for each transport

tp addtobuffer <transport> <SID> pf=<transportprofile>

This is normally done during exporting if you have an NFS (or CIFS) shared directory.

This is not an stright answer to you question, but I would like to twist it a bit:

You might consider using the Web Dispatcher in the DMZ instead of put the whole development system there.

If you are running SAPGUI, you might instead put the SAProuter in your DMZ and control the external company access via saprouttab and let them reach only the devleopment system.

In order to control the transports, you also need to have a look at the authorizations in that area.
