How to keep Portal 6 systems in sync

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can Anyone please let me know if there are any solutions available for SAP EP6 to keep your Development, QA and Production environments in sync.

We need some tool or solution when creating a page or iviews or any object on the development environment to be 'Transported' across to all the other environments. Similar to the SAP TMS system on R/3. We tried coming up a solution but due to the fact that you do not have a centralized area where all the config is sitting and it's making our task very difficult.

Please assist, points will be rewarded.

Kind regards,

Morgan

Hi,

As far as I know there is no transport system as in R3. You have to use export packages. You should have good control of what is in each transport package (using prefix for objects is one way). Versioning of the transport packaged is a good idea. Theese packaes are stored in a fileshare and loaded into test system. If test is ok then packages can be loaded into prod system. If test is not ok, I know some projects fix the problem, and load a second package into test for testing. If this test is ok, both packages are loaded into prod system - this to ensure consistency in test and prod.

This only applies to the PCD content, not other config files.

Hope this helps

Hi Morgan,

why would you want to do that? IMHO the point of having a development system is to test your iViews / Content and then transport them to production if they work as expected.

Best regards
