Transports across clients on same SID

[Former Member]

I have a request from the SAP project consultants to set up automatic transports from client 203 to 204 on my development system.

I was given a script that the basis consultant had written to do this on a windows platform (he does not have iSeries background) but the script seems to refer to a different SID and at this time I cannot get clarification from them on this.

The question is what ways can one do a automatic transports from 1 client to another on the same system on an iSeries?

The consultants are complaining about using SCC1.

Hi Anette,

I would say: Both ways: Importing or SCC1 are useful ways ...

The automatic transport - should it happen "immediately" or e.g. all 15 minutes ?

I would normally suggest to NOT use automatic transports but to always use "import all" in DEV.

Why ?

Because the 15 minutes (in average 7.5) are too long for me => I would impoirt manually anyway - but why then all 15 minutes ?

=> I would setup the STMS with transport groups e.g. as follows:

DEV => /QA/ => PRD

/QA/ consists of:

DEV.203

DEV.203

QAS.100 etc.

You could even split /QA/ into a "/DEV-QA/" and a real "/QA/" if you prefer that.

Then all release of transports puts it automatically into the buffers and then they cna import themselves or you could automate it via STMS e.g. all 15 minutes (you should check this with your IFS backup during night).

Hello Anette,

If it is a platform-dependent script, I assume that it could only deal with released transports. There is a way to do it without any script.

First, make sure all the transports released from 203 have transport targets including 204. (You can use "targert group" concept in STMS to achieve it.)

Then, STMS - import overview - select system(DEV) - filter by client 204 in the import queue - button "import all requests" and schedule a period like hourly or quarterly.

If you cannot switch to the "target group" method, you might have to write a script to accomplish it.

Best regards,
