Customizing tpz transports

[Former Member]

Hi all,

My customer is using PI 7.0 and I need a best-practise regarding transports.

There are three options for transporting ESR content,

1. export / import using the file system (PI 7.0 doesn't have the client option)

2. using CMS

3. using CTS

We're currently using option 1, which requires a manual action for copying / moving exported tpz files into the right folder.

My goal is to skip this manual action and thereby automize the process.

If a tpz file is imported SAP moves it automaticaly to the subdirectory <serverdir>/xi/repository_server/importedFiles

I can setup this directory as a import directory for the second system, but that's a 'dirty' solution.

Is there an option to change the importedFiles folder after importing ESR content?

Or does anybody have a different idea how to handle this?

A simple solution is to use the file transfer and schedule a batch job every x minutes which moves all files from the source export directory to the target import directory. We are doing this at one of my customers, and it is working fine.

Hi Roy,

I recommend you that the best choice for transport is CTS+. I have used CMS and

File export/import. CTS+ is more stable and organized method for transport than the other methods.

For more informartion about this, check this document: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/20ccd0ec-2839-2b10-0097-828fcd8ed809

no

sure - set up CTS+ and do the transports as ABAP transports

Hi Michal,

thanks for your reply.

CTS+ is an option, but the customer wants to implement this in the future, maybe 2011

In the mean time I'm looking for another solution or work-around using the file system.
