Solman - Transport using SCMA

Former Member

Hi all,

I am completely stumped. We just upgraded from Solman 7.1 SP07 to SP13. Before the upgrade, we would specify a transport in a change document (normal/urgent/admin) in Charm, click on the task list transaction ID of the maintenance project cycle, it would bring up t-code SCMA in Solman, we would schedule "import transport request (background)", and it would only import that transport. Now it imports everything in the DEV TMS queue.

The import parameters of the background job before the patch used to specify "transport request" but now it shows "project". Please see the attached files.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Alvin

Hi,

Please proceed as below

Choose the system role as T(Quality assurance) or as per your definition of dev and quality

Import with selected popup

It should resolve your issue.

Hi Rishav,

Thanks for the reply.Before the transport of copies and the import from DEV to QA was based on the current status of the change document thus bypassing the import all. We never had an import strategy from DEV to QA before and it would only import what was attached on the change document based on its status; for example, it was "ready for unit test" or "UAT successful" which would tell the "import transport request (background)" job to only import that specific transport to QA. Is it a new requirement now in SP13 that we need to define an import strategy for DEV and QA as well to overwrite the "import_all" parameter that is called when scheduling program /tmwflow/scma_trorder_import" in SCMA?


This is the flow:

It starts in DEV 100. We set the status to "Ready for Unit Test" and create transport of copies. Then we hit the M00000033 task list and schedule the import job which temporarily puts ToC to Dev120. If all looks good, we set the status to "Unit Test Successful" and schedule another import job. This officially moves the transport to DEV120. After that is tested, the status is set to "Ready for User Acceptance Test" and another import job is scheduled which brings the transport to QA5 400.  Through this whole process, we never had to specify any transport as the system knows what to transport based on the status of the change document. After the patch, every time we schedule an import job no matter what the change document status, it imports everything in the TMS queue. Hope this made sense.

thanks!

Hi,

Previously you had the status dependent controls as you had already mentioned, please check if you have done any customizations to your task list or you have scheduled the background job previously for status dependent import depending on the variants.

Thanks
