Transport Through Part of the Landscape with ChaRM

[former_member194122]

Hello Experts,

I am trying to determine a best practice in regards to moving security roles partially through the landscape with ChaRM.  In a scenario where we want to only deploy security roles part way through the landscape due to the requirement to have different security on a lower test system than on production, for example.  What is the best way to only transport a change part way through.

We have a development project, consolidation project, maintenance development, maintenance consolidation and production.  We may want to stop the transports at consolidation project or maintenance consolidation, without a whole lot of manual intervention, is there a standard solution out there?

Hi Matthew,

ChaRM will not handle your situation. it will move the TR's upto task list define in MC. Try the below option

Option:1

Create new project with required system role upto maintenance consolidation( define maintenance consolidation is PRD system role) and activate the ChaRM.

Option:2

Use the existing Project having the task list up to production system, after TR import in consolidation project or maintenance consolidation delete the TR's in the import queue for respective system.( like PRD queue).

For security role movement better use the urgent change option( use separate project for urgent change), if used the normal change during PRD import it will import all the TR's in the import queue including security role( if you used same project for urgent and normal change it will also make issue for your scenario)

From SP10, have an option for selective import -

HI Mathew,

As suggested by karthik, the best practice will be creating a new project/correction in charm which contains only development system and maintenance/consolidation system.

The transport requests for moving the security roles can be created in this project. Thereby ensuring that the security roles are not moved to production and are stopped at consolidation system.
