Systems belong to same transport domain but located in diff Network domain

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

With respect to the subject above, we planning for migration of SAP systems to new data center. As systems are distributed across multiple network domains, we are planning to bring all the sap systems into a Single network domain in New data center.

In the process, we are moving some of the systems (like QA and Dev) initially to new data center. And after a testing, we will be moving to Production systems later to the new Network domain.

Since Dev and QA belong to Domain A(Network Domain) and Prod belong to Domain B(Network Domain).  But Dev, QA and Prod belong to same transport domain.

Since we have Weekly schedule for Production transports. We expect the intermediate steps in migration should not affect the Weekly transport move.

So please suggest whether prerequistes need to be done before the migration and any precautionary measures as well.

Thanks and Regards

You can keep all 3 systems in the same transport domain, no matter which network domain(s) their servers belong to. 

There are 2 different ways you can handle the transport folder.  If the network connection between the 2 locations is good and stable, you can continue using a single transport folder and just mount (Unix) or share (Windows) it between the domains.  If the network connection is not so good and/or stable, you might want to consider changing one location to a different transport group, and each group gets it's own (local) folder.

Hi Sudha,

Please check below link.

you can share the trans dir if trans dir accessable form all the host then there is no issue in transpport .

Hi Sudha,

As long as the transport directory is mounted and readable from both sides you should not have an issue. In the worst case scenario you will have to copy the transport cofile and datafile manually but I cannot see that happening.
