Transporting activated SICF nodes

[former_member584569]

Hello everyone.

In S/4 HANA 1909, I have come across Tasklists SAP_GATEWAY_ACTIVATE_ODATA_SERV in which I can see an option to add a transport and capture activated OData services, which can be further released to Quality and Production systems from the Development environment.

I was wondering how to implement the same for activated SICF nodes(standard fiori apps)? I dont see a similar option in the tasklist SAP_BASIS_ACTIVATE_ICF_NODES. Neither can I see any option in SICF.

My main objective is to activate all SICF nodes and OData services in development environment and transport it to Quality and Production systems without having the need to activate them manually again.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

as far as i know, ICF services activation cannot be transported.

If ICF services cant be trasported, then manual activatin seems like the only route?

Answering the follow up question: Correct. A manual activation is always needed.

SAP Note https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2424613 states this is "by design" for security reasons. And this somehow makes sense... somehow not.

The tasklists you mentioned are the quickest way if you know which ODATA Services and ICF nodes you need to activate.

Agreed that SAP does not intend for us to transport active state of nodes, how do Tasklists mentioned in the OP accomplish the same via a transport?
