MII Development -> Quality -> Production promotion

[Former Member]

Hi

Does anyone has experience in promotion of MII projects from Development to Production via SAP standard transporation?.

What we currently doing is transfer (export imports) of MII projects from one server to another server (i.e Development server to Test server and then to Production Server). I know there is CTS. Is CTS onyl available for ABAP or also available for MII?

Issues that we face during the transfer (import and exports) are

- The System connections and Data Servers' names have to be rename to have exact name as in the current system.

- The SQL code , has to be rename to match for each system. Especially if you work with Schema (writing schema names in the SQL code).

- This means the development has a lot of dependency for each current systems.

How do you deal with that???

Hi,

Your current promotion or transport process is common for MII 12.0 customers. New in 12.1 is the ability to use content management within the workbench for your MII objects. It uses [NWDI|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mii121/helpdata/en/48/cfd8b4c1d310b4e10000000a421138/content.htm] to do this. You may want to research it further.

The [MII 12.x best practice |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/f08d7ae2-6f56-2c10-50b4-8a3bb1d43502]guide talks about naming your data servers so that you don't have to change them when you transport. You should look into it and make some changes.

I have read throught the best practices and notice of the "best practise" naming convention.

I thought SAP would have some standard way of transporting from development to prodcution.

The NWDI itself allows:

Administration of development landscape and transport management in the Change Management Service (CMS).

Central archive and build management in the Component Build Service (CBS).

Central management of source files in the Design Time Repository (DTR).
