Configuration of CMS in Central NWDI & SLD to transport XI objects

[Former Member]

Requirement/Background: You have XI system, one central NWDI and one central SLD which is used for entire landscape and you want to utilize the CMS available in NWDI to transport XI objects. There wasn't any one document to refer and had to go thru several SAP notes, SAP documentation and SAP forums and felt a need to have one documentation which has all configuration.

Definition: Transport of XI objects (Integration Repository & Integration Directory) can be done using

Transport using File System

Transport using Change Management Service (CMS)

The change management service is part of the usage type Development Infrastructure of SAP NetWeaver. This service enables you to configure your transport landscape and manage the transport of objects between different systems
CMS can be installed in the integration server and utilize CMS for transporting objects. The how-to-guide in market place explains the configuration.

Scope: This blog would discuss about configuration of Central Netweaver Developer Infrastructure (NWDI) to transport XI objects using CMS available in NWDI and does not cover SLD configuration, XI configuration.

Pre-requisite: 1. Fully configured XI system & SLD System

Landscape:

NWDI - 2004s SPS10 (JAVA Stack)

XI - NW2004s SPS10 (ABAP+JAVA Stack)

SLD - NW2004s SPS10 (ABAP+JAVA Stack)

Detailed Steps:

Create Users

NWDI

In UME, create a user called 'NWDI_CMSADM'

Attach role NWDI.Administrator and attach user to group ‘NWDI.Administrators’

SLD

create same user named 'NWDI_CMSADM' using SU01 in ABAP

.

Attach role 'SAP_SLD_ORGANIZER’

XI

Create a user ‘NWDI_CMSADM’ using SU01 in ABAP

Attach role ‘SAP_XI_CMS_SERV_USER’ & ‘SAP_SLD_ORGANIZER’

Launch URL http://:/useradmin, and attach the role NWDI.Administrator to the NWDI_CMSADM user.

Maintain same password for NWDI_CMSADM across all systems in NWDI, SLD, XI.

Make sure the password for NWDI_CMSADM in XI (ABAP and JAVA stack) are same if it is dual environment.

Make sure the user’s password doesn’t expire after 90 days (optional). If it expires follow the SAP note 896427 to update password correctly in all the areas.

Configurations in Visual Administrator

NWDI

server --> service --> security provider --> policy configuration --> select sap.com/com.saplcr*sld --> security role

Map the user NWDI_CMSADM to J2EE/SLD role "LcrInstanceWriterAll"

SLD

server --> services --> security provider --> policy configuration --> select sap.com/com.saplcr*sld „³ security role

Map the user NWDI_CMSADM to J2EE/SLD role "LcrInstanceWriterAll"

Exchange Profile Configuration

For XI to use CMS, set the following parameters Create parameter if they are not available.
Launch the URL - http://:/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tc~xi~exprofui/XIProfileApp

com.sap.aii.ibdir.core.cms.enableTransportWizard=true

com.sap.aii.ibdir.core.cms.enableClTransport=true

com.sap.aii.ibrep.core.cms.enableClTransport=true

com.sap.aii.ibrep.core.cms.enableTransportWizard=true

com.sap.aii.directory.serviceuser.name = PIDIRUSER

com.sap.aii.directory.serviceuser.pwd = *****

com.sap.aii.repository.serviceuser.name = PIREPUSER

com.sap.aii.repository.serviceuser.name.cms= NWDI_CMSADM

com.sap.aii.repository.serviceuser.pwd.cms - ******

com.sap.aii.directory.serviceuser.name.cms - NWDI_CMSADM

com.sap.aii.directory.serviceuser.pwd.cms - ******

Add the following value to

com.sap.aii.ib.client.properties = com.sap.aii.ibrep.core.cms.*, com.sap.aii.ibdir.core.cms.*
