Upgrade - Transport Directory Strategy

189 Views

Hello All,

We are having the below 4.7 Landscape,

DEV -> QAS -> PRD

We are having central Transport Directory. /usr/sap/trans is present in PRD which is mounted to DEV and QAS.

Now, we are doing DEV Upgrade.

So, we have created a Temporary Development DVP for 4.7 (which is a copy of DEV) so that we can continue our 4.7 Developments. Basically a approach of Dual Landscapes for Upgrades, one for 4.7 and one for ECC6.

Now, DEV has its local /usr/sap/trans, while we have mounted /usr/sap/trans(of PRD) to DVP. So new 4.7 Landscape is

DVP-> QAS -> PRD

After I do my QAS Upgrade, 4.7 Landscape will be turned to a 2 System landscape. Because of H/W constraints we cannot have two QAS (one for 4.7 and other for ECC6).

My question is,

After I do my QAS Upgrade, should my QAS DIR_TRANS point to /usr/sap/trans of DEV or PRD?

I am planning to point it to that of DEV, we will have dual Central Trans Directories,

one for 4.7 Landscape (/usr/sap/trans in PRD) for DVP-> PRD

and the other for ECC 6 (/usr/sap/trans in DEV) for DEV -> QAS

What do I do after PRD upgrade? should my DIR_TRANS for ECC 6 PRD point to /usr/sap/trans of DEV ?

Thanks!
