Hello,

We have recently upgraded our SAP Data services from 4.1 to 4.2. The change management was done by functional team including its administration. Now they want to pass administration and change management to us (SAP BASIS team).

What we did was implement SAP Data Services 4.2 SP10 in parallel of existing Data Services 4.1 and port over all repositories. Now being SAP BASIS admin we thought to implement CTS+ plus on this so its make everyone life easy to move changes across landscape and have more control over it.

Today I am sharing you that how we configured CTS+ on SAP Data Services. If you want to know more about configuration you can look at the SAP Help .

 

Prerequisites for implementation:


SAP Solution manager 7.2

SAP Data Services 4.2 SP10

Ref link

Note: Make sure you read through SAP Note : 2236955 - CTS+ and HTTP-based deployment offering: Requirements

 

Steps to configure CTS Plus:




  • Create Non-ABAP system for your SAP Data Services Development system




Log-in to your SAP Solution manager TMS system and run STMS TCode

Go to System overview page (Overview >> Systems)



Create Non-ABAP System (SAP System >> Create >> Non-ABAP System)



Provide information as below

  • Import Configuration on Target Data Services system QAS/PROD




Login to SAP data Services(http://host:port/DataServices/launch/logon.action) and Navigate to Administrator >> Object Promotion >> Import Configuration

Navigate to CTS tab



Select the repository and press Save



You will see Path prefix created and this path will be use on HTTP destination (next step)



 

 


  • Define HTTP Destination in TMS system




Open SM59 and create RFC type 'G'

Provide information below

Description SAP Data Service Deploy destination


Target System

Provide user as Administrator and password of it and save destination



 


  • Create Non-ABAP target system for your SAP Data Services QAS/Production system




Log-in to your SAP Solution manager TMS system and run STMS TCode

Go to System overview page (Overview >> Systems)



Create Non-ABAP System (SAP System >> Create >> Non-ABAP System)



Provide information below

On next screen Press New Entries button



Select BODS from the list (You created this on step: Configure Application)



 

Provide HTTP Destination (You created this in step : Define HTTP Destination in TMS system)

  • Configure Web Service for Deployment




In your solution manager productive client run TCode 'SOAMANAGER'

Search for EXPORT_CTS_WS

Provide service name and description and New Binding name

Example : EXPORT_CTS_DS



On next screen check User ID/Password and press next



 

Provide alternative Access URL : /export_cts_ds



Note: SAP strongly recommend to include current client in value of ‘Alternative Access URL’, i.e. better use something like ‘/100/export_cts_ds’ - to avoid ambiguities if similar configuration should ever be done in other clients.

 

Click Finish



 

Now you see service is created as below



 


  • Create user for RFC for Export Configuration




Create service user "BOLM_DS" in Solman working client with SAP roles below

SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_CONSUMER
SAP_CTS_PLUS

 




  • Create export configuration in Development Data Services System




Login to SAP data Services(http://host:port/DataServices/launch/logon.action) and Navigate to Administrator >> Object Promotion >> Export Configuration >>Add



 

Provide all required information as shown in below picture and test connection



For any error check SAP Note : 2474199 - Failed to connect to the CTS server. Verify the connection configurations: Cause: Incorrect System ID configuration - SAP Data Services


  • Create Transport Layer




Create SAP transport layer in TMS system for Data Services Transports




  • Create Transport target




Create transport target for your dev system to QAS as Consolidation and from QAS to Prod as Delivery



 




  • Export/Import testing




Navigate to SAP Data Services Development system Administrator screen and click on Object Promotion



 

Select repository type and Type



 

Select the objects you want to add and press export button



Wait till export completes



 

Once export complete release transport for next system





Import transport in your target queue



 

 

You have successfully configured CTS+ for your SAP Data Services. I tried to show you end to end process and I use SAP Help to configure it.

 

If you want to know more about configuration you can look at the SAP Help

 

Thank you

Yogesh Patel
