CTS+ Configuration : SAP Data Services (4.2 SP10)

[patelyogesh]

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

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.
