In the previous parts, we covered transporting SLD objects and IR objects using CMS (Change Management Service). Now, let us understand how to use CMS for Integration Directory transports.
To carry out ID transports, open the Integration Directory of the source system.
Right-Click the configuration scenario you wish to transport and choose ‘Export’ to open up Export Configuration Objects wizard- Under mode, select ‘Transport Using CMS’
- Name of the transport list is ‘Export List’ by default
- Click on ‘Continue’
- If required, filter the objects to be exported
- Click on ‘Finish’
- Status message will be displayed on the next screen
- Close the wizard
Now to transport the exported objects using CMS, access the CMS at http://<hostname>:<J2EE Port>/devinf
- Logon with XIRIG user
- Choose ‘Transport Studio’
- Select the ID track on the left
- Go to ‘Consolidation’ tab
- You will see an entry corresponding to your export from ID with state ‘Waiting for Import’
- Select the entry and click on ‘Import’
- The state will be updated with ‘Import finished’
Till this point, all the steps for IR and ID transports are same. Some more steps are necessary to complete ID transports.
- Open the target Integration Directory
- Select ‘Change List’ tab.
- Select the LSADMIN user
- Click on ‘Display’
- You will see that the business system names will be those of the target system (For this to work correctly, you need to define business system groups and assign transport targets to business systems. For details on how to do this, see ‘Transporting Business Systems’ section in the first part of this series.)
- Right-click the change list and choose ‘Transfer’
- Now click on ‘Display Standard’
- Open the change list and modify the communication channels as per the target system e.g. IP addresses used in the adapters may be different in the source and target system.
- Activate your change list
Thus to summarize, we have covered the procedure of CMS transports for the following:
Hi riyaz .
I have a couple of questions if you do not mind answering them.
First of alla thanks for your contribuition .
How can I add a target and a group for the BS that already existes, in order to transport it.
How about the other objects , like TS , Product and SWCV , do they need group and target.
How can I verify that CMS is installed , and if not how can it be done.
in your blog , step by step guide to XI transport part 2 , under the transport of BS , you mention that the BS_PRD should be defined in XI development. if this is the case why should we create the 2 versions of the BS in the same mashine.
and finalle , does those steps aply to transporting via the file system, if not could you plz tel , how to do the transport by File system.
thanks in advance
Hi,
You can edit the business system in SLD to add transport targets and groups. These are necessary since in ID, we have to deal with business systems and if groups and targets are defined, the BS names get automatically mapped in the target environment.
For other SLD objects, you can follow the procedure described. Groups/targets are not relevant here.
SLD holds information of all the systems in landscape. You need the SLD transports for file system transport as well. In file system transports, you simply export the IR/ID objects from source system, copy it to the target system at the OS level and import it into the target system’s IR/ID.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Riyaz
Hi Riyaz
Thanks

Hi Riyaz,
Thanks for the 3 part description about doing XI/PI transports. My question is related to moving several ID transports (~50+) using CMS. We are finding we need to do the Activation after each transports. Are you aware if there is a better way to streamline the activation so that we can minimize the amount of time to do the ID transports?
Thanks for your input.
Regards.
Rob,
I am not aware if this is possible. May be you can try the forums. If its urgent, its better to get help from SAP OSS support team. Do let me know if you find a way out.
Thanks a lot for this presentation. You have explained in simple & clear terms. really usefull.
Hi, I am unable to see my Design objects in CMS consoidation, when seen in IR they are in status ‘Waiting for Export’ any pointers on this?
Thanks
