To build a production environment with the tested configuration, modifications, and development
To ensure consistency when building your environments, you need to keep track of all the changes you have made to your development environment and ensure that you build your new environments in the same way.
You must build the production system in the same way as the quality assurance system, so proper administration of change request management is essential.
1. Establish the clients required for production.
2. Import the change requests that were unit tested and released from the development environment into the quality assurance environment.
- Before imports can occur, the Business Process Team Lead must release and export the unit tested change request(s) from the development system. This ensures that the changes contained in the change requests are ready to be promoted to the quality assurance system.
3. Review the transport logs for the change requests to check that no errors occurred.
4. Depending on your client strategy, establish additional clients.
Production environment with correct configuration, modifications, and development
You can use the following SAP tools to help you carry out this task:
· Customizing Organizer
· Workbench Organizer
· Transport Management System (TMS)
Using change requests to build the quality assurance system enables you to become familiar with TMS and possible special transport cases. This can help you to build and maintain the production system.
· The import queue for the quality assurance system contains a list of the requests that have been released and are waiting to be imported. This list is in the order that the change requests were exported, which ensures that the latest copy of a change is the final result in the target system.
· In the TMS, to import the current import queue, choose Start Import.
· After successful import, a change request is removed from the quality assurance import queue and placed in the production system import queue. Proper administration of the import queues facilitates ongoing imports into the quality assurance and production systems.
