Content Transport using CTS – Cloud Integration – Part 2

Introduction:

In the Part 1 of this blog series, you would have understood how to setup Cloud Integration for CTS.

In this blog series part, I would like to explain how to transport the Integration Content across multiple Cloud Integration Tenants.

We will discuss the following scenarios:

• Scenario 1: Transport using Transport mode CTS+ Direct
• Scenario 2: Transport using Transport mode MTAR Download

1. Transport using Transport mode CTS+Direct

CTS+Direct would push MTAR content to an open Transport request in the configured CTS+ system maintained as a Destination.

• In the Test/Source tenant, select the integration package that you want to transport.
• Click on Transport.

• In the Transport Comments prompt, provide comments and click on Transport.

• Transport id will be displayed as shown above.
• Navigate to target system and select the transport ID request and click on Import.

• Confirm Import with Date: Immediate and Import Options as: Leave Transport Requests in Queue for Later Import.
• The Integration package is imported into the Production tenant Account.

Note: In case of errors, you can check the logs by selecting the Import request and clicking on Logs button.

2. Transport using MTA Download

2.1 Downloading the Multi-Target Application (MTA) archive

To be able to transport an application, you must package it in a Multi-Target Application (MTA) archive as described below:

• Change the Transport Mode to MTAR Download in the Settings tab.

• In the Source/Test tenant, Select the integration package that you want to transport.
• Click on Transport.

• In the Transport Comments prompt, provide comments (for eg: the Integration package name) and click on Transport.
• A file with extension .mtar is downloaded to your local file system in the download path configured in your browser.

Note: Ensure that the Integration flows to be transported are not in Draft State.

2.2 Importing the content in the Production tenant

CTS+ is used to transport applications, for example, from development to a test or production environment. You can also deploy one or several MTA archives to your subaccount in one run.

To import the content in the target/Prod system, follow the steps mentioned here:

• In the CTS system go to transaction STMS.
• Open the Transport Organizer WebUI.

• Select the source system as CI1.

• Login to the WebUI -> Transport Organizer will open.
• Click on Create Request – a pop up will open with the below details. Enter a description for the Request. And click on Create.

• For the request, go to tab Object List, switch to Change Mode.

• In Object List tab, Click on Attach and browse for the .mtar file from your local system.
• Select the Application as “CPI – Multi Target Application” and click on “Add to List”.

• Click on Attach. The transport request will be updated. Click on Save Changes in the Object list tab.
• After you have added one or more MTA archives in the request. Click on Release.

• In the CTS system, go to transaction STMS and select Import Overview.

• Double-click on the SID of the target system CI2.
• Click on the Import Queue Web UI button if not directly opened.

• Select the transport request and click on Import.

• Confirm Import with Date: Immediate and Import Options as: Leave Transport Requests in Queue for Later Import.
• The Integration package is imported into the Production tenant Account.

Note: If the Integration package is already existing, it will be updated.

In case of errors, you can check the logs by selecting the Import request and clicking on Logs            button.
