transport from dev to prod or qa to prod - clarify

[Former Member]

hai friends

pls clarify me on certain things

heard some people saying that in cts process, whatever configuration we do in dev server , we will test it in qa server and if we think it is ok , then we transport the data to prod server .

but there is also other view that the changes once tested in qa should be transported back to dev and moved to prod pls clarify

there are two movement types in schedule line category (vov6) what is the role of the two ?

please respond

Hi Kishore,

Normally in real time, we do the config changes in Dev Server and transport to QA Server. Once we test in QA and if everything is as expected then we move the same request from Dev to Production.This process of transporting verbally called as Dev to QA to Prod.

But technically they are not transporting from QA to Prod.

Hope this helps.

Please reward if useful.

Thanks,

Dear Kishore,

You will transport from DEV to QA and then QA to PROD. You will not transport from QA to DEV.

For your clarification you will not change any thing in QA. You will make the changes in DEV and transport them to QA. QA is only for testing.

Regarding two movement types - one is incoming and other one is outgoing.

For more information about the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS), visit the following link:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/57/38ddff4eb711d182bf0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

<b>Transport Request is generated in following scenarios:</b>

1. Customizing Request - When doing or changing some customization.

2. WorkBench Request - When configuration is cross-client. Eg Generating new Table, making changes in access sequence, Abap development, etc.

Transport request is not generated for Master Data. For eg: Customer Master, Material Master, price master, etc.

<b>Benefit of Transport Request:</b>

SAP Landscape normally has 3- Tier system:

Development Server - Where customization takes place. Transport request is generated at this level & then first transported to Quality server for testing whether it meets the requirement or not. Once the requirement is met in Quality server then Request is transported from Development Server to Production Server (Actual / Live System)

Quality Server - Mainly useful for testing.

Production Server Actual / Live server, where the real transactions are created & posted.

<b>Procedure to Release & Transport Request:</b>

1. In development server, go to T.Code: SE10 & select the check box Modifiable & enter

2. In the next screen, you will see list of transport request created.

Note: Transport request consist of main request along with sub request. These sub request hold the object to be transported.

3. Expand the main request & you will be able to view the sub requests attached to main request.

4. First release the sub requests.

Note: To release the request, select the request ni & click on release request individually (Do not select release all request)

5. Next release main request.

6. Once the request is released sucessfully, imform the basis person to import the request to QA server.

or

If the authority is with you, through T.Code: STMS, select development server --> select request no & release to QA server. Here when it pops up client no, user id & password, maintain it of QA server & release the request to QA server.

Reward points if this is helpful.

Regards,

Naveen.

Hi,

In 3 system landscape there are three servers.

1. Development

2.Quality

3.Production.

All the configuration spro settings are done in devlopment server. we can do this in the sand box client.

This is checked in the quality server. We cannot do any change in the spro settings in this server.If tested ok, we RE DO the whole configuration in the Dev. server in the Golden client & then create a transport request.

As per the request, the basis people transport this from dev to prod server.
