The technical configuration is an elementary part of setting up SAP Hybris Marketing. For example, on the one hand you have to perform post-installation activities to bring a newly installed system into operation. On the other hand, during the lifecycle of a system, technical parameters have to be set and adapted.
This blog will give you an overview of how the technical configuration works with respect to transport requests. The Technical Configuration Wizard handles the technical configuration in Hybris Marketing during an installation. How transports are handled depends on the entry in the field Role of System. On the initial screen of the Wizard you have the following options:
Development System
If the entry in the field Role of System is “Development System”, objects are created by the technical configuration and written to transports. In the following table you can see which objects are created in which step and written to which transport.
Type of Transport | Name of Transport | Objects of Transport | Generated by Step |
Customizing Requests | Common Customizing Activities | Customizing of System Alias and Segmentation Profiles | Initialize SAP Audience Discovery and Targeting and Generate OData Services |
Customizing Requests | Customizing for OData Services based on BI | Routing of ODATA Services - relation between ODATA and System Alias | Generate OData Services |
Customizing Requests | Product Recommendation | Business Configuration (BC) Sets that contains Customizing settings for Recommendation | Activate Recommendation Base Configuration |
Workbench Requests | BI Activation and OData Service Generation | Elements of the Query Builder | Activate and Transport BI Content |
Workbench Requests | Repository Objects for OData Services based on BI | SAP Gateway Metadata about Model and Service Group, required IFC nodes and Services Data Provider Implementation Definition | Generate OData Services |
If you have chosen "Recommendation" as scope on the initial screen of the Technical Configuration Wizard, then additionally the customizing request "Product Recommendation" is created. The other transports are always created independent ofthe scope.
In addition to these transports for customizing objects, there should also be a workbench transport containing the packages for OData services and BI content. These packages were created manually as described in the installation guide.
After you have successfully finished the technical configuration, go to transaction SE09, and release and transport in the following sequence:
Quality or Productive System
Before you start the Technical Configuration Wizard you have to take care of the import of the transports regarding technical configuration.
As there are dependencies and preconditions, the sequence of the transport import plays a role. Therefore please perform following steps:
1) Workbench Request: Package for OData service and BI content - created manually
2) Customizing Request: Common Customizing Activities
3) Customizing Request: Product Recommendation – if exists
4) Workbench Request: Repository Objects for OData Services based on BI
5) Customizing Request: Customizing for OData Services based on BI
The activation of BI content presupposes that HANA content is active. For this reason this transport need to be imported after the technical configuration.
In the figure below you can see an overview of how the transport management of the technical configuration works for Hybris Marketing in a typical three-landscape environment.
We have noticed in some cases that the customizing requests were not imported to a business client, but only to client 000. Therefore it’s important to make sure that customizing transport were imported to the correct client. You can find more information about this at SAP Help Portal in chapter Handling Target Clients.
Other System
If you want set up your Hybris Marketing System as a standalone system, e.g. a demo system, then choose Other System for Role of System. The system creates all the required objects according to your configuration settings, but does not write them to a transport request.
