Hi,
I've installed the CTS_plugin on our Solman 7.1 system and trying to distribute it to the managed systems which are on a different TMS Domain with a Domain link to Solman. I'm using SZENPLUGIN Web-UI to validate and distribute. We are using ChaRM and would like to start using Downgrade protection and cross-system object locks.
First I select the managed system I want to distribute the plugin to and validate. Then under the Plugin distribution column there's a click-able link which says "Plugins not up-to-date" for the system I just validated. If I click on that link I see error in red "Configuration only possible on domain controller (system not contrlr)" at the top of the Web-UI screen.
Anyone knows what this means?
Does it have anything to do with the fact that it is on a different TMS transport domain?
Thanks for your help.
Stephane
Hello Stephane,
in the earlier version of the Web UI for distributing the CTS plug-ins (SZENPLUGIN) the distribution was only possible from a system, which was setup as a domain controller in the (T)ransport (M)anagement (S)ystem. You can check this by using transaction STMS -> Overview -> Systems. Systems, which are set up as domain controllers have a specific symbol in the column 'Type'. One of your Solution Manager systems should be setup as domain controller as well. With the version of SZENPLUGIN you're currently using you have to distribute the CTS plug-ins from this Solution Manager system. With later versions of SZENPLUGIN this domain controller restriction was removed ...

Hi Stephane,
I also had same issue when running from my solman pre-prod it gave error that distribution should be done from domain controller .We are using below CTS veriosn
CTS_PLUG Release 200 SP13
When executed from solman domain controller it went to next stage
I am seeing error when distributing the plug-in
tp command CREATECOFILE reported an error for system <SID>.please check TMS alerts
But no error is coming in TMS alert viewer .Did you face this kind of error
Could you please help

Murali
Hi Murali,
We're currently working on an incident/customer message with a very similar content: Most probably the datafile of the CTS plugin already exists on the target system (= the system the CTS plugin should be distributed to). My colleague, who is working on this incident/topic, prepares a note for solving/fixing this issue ... but the note has not been finished so far. However, for a detailed analysis we would need to have a look at the affected systems. For that reason I would recommend to you to open a customer message/incident on the component BC-CTS-TMS-CTR for this issue.

Thanks Steffan for the update .
As a workaround can we go for manual method as described in note 1688276 Point 4
4. Import the transport requests of the CTS plug-ins manually (use only for managed systems without domain links to SAP Solution Manager)
1688276 - Distributing CTS plug-ins to managed systems
I ran the report it gave me two transports
SAPK-XXX13INCTSPLGN
SAPK-73118INCTSPLGIN
Can we import these transports in managed system in same sequence
Also do we need to do import these transports in 000 client or in working client of managed system(although it doesn't differ in which client we import,as best approach)
Regards,
Murali
Hello Murali,
For the affected system you can use the option 4 of the note 1688276:

Hi Steffen,
I have done as suggested in notes ,now when i validate it gives green in SZENPLUGIN.
I guess it is enough if CTS plug-ins (CTS Service and CTS Bootstrapper plug-ins) are installed in managed system for DGP functionality to work
Do we need to have CTS_PLUG component also installed
Regards,
Murali
Hello Stephane, hello Murali,
the CTS Service- and CTS Bootstrapper plug-ins need to be distributed (= installed) to all relevant managed systems. Relevant managed systems means: systems, which should take part in the (D)owngrade (P)rotection (C)heck and are contained in a transport route in (T)ransport (M)anagement (S)ystem. So, important for the definition of the range of managed systems is the TMS-perspective (-> transaction STMS -> Overview -> Transport Routes). The (D)owngrade (P)rotection (C)heck is based on transport requests and the objects contained in the transport requests. The CTS plug-ins contain some logic for collecting data from the managed systems, which is required for DGP (... for example the import-state of a transport request). So, basically the CTS Service- and CTS Bootstrapper plug-ins need to be distributed (= installed) to each system, which might come in touch with a transport request to be checked. This also applies to the productive instance/system. As already mentioned: Relevant is the TMS-perspective respectively the transport routes defined in TMS.
The 'control center' (= server) for the (D)owngrade (P)rotection (C)heck is the Solution Manager system. Here the software component CTS_PLUG is installed (... which contains the CTS Server-plug-in besides the CTS Service- and CTS Bootstrapper plug-ins). On the 'controlled' (= managed) systems only the CTS Service- and CTS Bootstrapper plug-ins need to be installed.
