Take Environment offline manually during transports?

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are on BPC 10.1

Can you please confirm if environment has to be taken offline MANUALLY during transports?

We have already set the parameter TRANS_AUTO_OFFLINE = Y in source and target systems.

Some old SCN threads indicate still we need to take it offline manually. Can you please confirm?

I don't see any recent Notes on this topic.

Thanks

Hi,

I had sent this question to SAP OSS also. After checking our SP version SAP advised that this global parameter will handle Environment offline/online things, and nothing to be done manually.  We have transported a model change then.

MK, so this parameter will only work in case only a BPC environment is being taken for a transport?? What if we are transporting only a single object from BPC? will it work at that point too?

Hi JP,

My question to SAP was generic. "What to do when I have to send a transport" didn't mention whether we intended to transport environment or not.

So I think SAP's answer applies even if environment is not transported, and the setting should take care of it automatically.

Refer to note 2010964 , and search for TRANS_AUTO

Dear all,

do you know if now with BPC 11.1 (standard version) is still needed to set the Environment of the target system off-line? Or maybe SAP found a way to avoid this unpleasant side effect?

Many thanks.

Hi MK,

I have not used the global parameter for taking the environment offline....But to be honest I personally would not take that risk! You would have to doubly ensure the environment is online again......Plus I will not recommend it to use in Production system! Lots of factors involved to be thought of before utilizing that option.
