Transporting a Request when DEV, QA and PROD has the common Transport Dir

[Former Member]

Hi Everybody !!

We have a common transport directory i.e. /usr/sap/trans.

We want to transport a request from DEV > QA > PROD

As part of the initial config , I have ip add of each server in each of /etc/hosts

and Production being the Domain controller , this /usr/sap/trans of the Production is mounted

on DEV and QA.

I have searched on SAP Help Portal and I found a doc regarding Transporting a Request when the Transport Directory is not common... But, i did not find anything for the scenario when the Transport Dir is common i.e. the same Transport Directory is used for DEV > QA > PROD .

So, does anyone has idea about how the Transport Config / Procedure would defer when the Transport Dir is common for each of the three system...??

Helpful answeres would always be rewareded with point, without failure ..

Thanks,

Dear Ishan,

In most landscapes, the transport directory is kept common and is mounted as a shared directory among all the three systems.

Different common transport directories are used when security issues prevent access to the directory from another system or when the systems are heterogenous.

The TMS configuration for the Common TD is the most common and is described in the following URL

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/b4a09a7acc11d1899e0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

Also,

when the Transport directories are different to each system,

Refer to SAP Note 83327

Hope this helps.

Hello Ishan,

Transport directories are common in most production scenarios. So if you havev dobe the configuration correctly in STMS the transport should work. Anyways check this out:
