Transport request - standard procedure

[former_member199632]

Hello,

Currently, our transport route as follows

DEV -> QAS -> PRD

But there is no proper accepting or validating procedure

Please let me know, is there any accept/stabilize method proposed by SAP (Like a Form, who should accept/approve, who is the person authorized to release the request , how the testing should be followed etc)

regards,

Hello,

Diego is right, wether you use charm or you create a document in which you specify clearly how your TMS works and what is the role of each one in the TMS.

Hi Zerandib,

What exactly u required....????

See first of all let me clear few things....

Tr has been created in the system when any objects,tables,reports has been modified/created in your system.

In any environment basically all the creation/modification has been done in Dev server only.

Once the ABAP person or particular functional person has been created/modified any object in the DEV system it will automatically asks for the creation of new Tr.

And one more thing in your DEV server only particular client's have been authorize to create the Tr's.

Once the Tr's has been created the BASIS person will import the Tr in QAS for testing purpose, if any thing goes wrong again it has to be modified and do the same procedure.

Once the testing has been completed successfully in your QAS server then only it will move to PRD.

Regarding authorization issue:

Only team leads have been authorize to release the Tr's.

For import of the Tr's purely it goes to BASIS team they will do.

It's not all the functional team/ABAP team can do the Tr import.

Hi Anil,

Thx for the clarifications. What i want is to formalize this transport procedure. (Other than doing it verbally or doing with a small email)

As Nirmal said; im looking forward of creating a something like a Transport workflow .(sequence of how to do it formally)

So i wanted to know, what / who are the persons should involve from start to end (creating a transport request and until its importing to the PRD)

Like creating transport request, releasing the request, modifying the request, testing it on Unit test client, give permission to import to QA, testing it on QA, give permission to import the request to PRD, checking it on PRD, verify transport is successful etc.

Are there any standard procure of a proposals published by SAP.

Hi Zerandib

You can make use of QA Approval process wherein you can define who all will be responsible for the approval of change requests into your Production system.

Only when all the QA Approval steps have been processed, the request will be imported to your Production System:

As for the QA Approval Step, You can define it as (for eg):

1. The Developer

2. The Project Manager etc .

You can find more information on the QA Approval Process at the below link:

Hello,

If you want a tool for doing this, the tool is ChaRM:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_smehp1/helpdata/en/0c/5b2160f6fa4b83a3674a210b1cdeb0/frameset.htm

Otherwise you have to create and document a procedure. This procedure should be clear about roles and responsibilities of each person involved in the process. This kind of document is usually asked by auditors.

Cheers,

Diego.

Hi,

There is something called transport proposals. Try to find out more on that as it may help you in defining the transport strategy.
