ActiveControl includes the ability to create Transport of Copies (TOC) of existing transport(s) to push to their test systems. This avoids the need to release the original transport until testing is complete, and can significantly reduce the number of transports moving beyond your test system to Production.

To enable the TOC functionality within ActiveControl requires the following configuration in the Domain Controller:

Step Details
1. Use SAP transaction SE16 within table /BTI/TE_TOCONFIG – add a configuration entry depending on your requirements.

The configuration flags are as follows:

  • CREATELEVEL allows you to dictate at what level the TOCs are created at. E.g. if you have two Transport Forms that are part of two different Projects, configuring CREATELEVEL = P will result in two separate TOCs being created.
  • SELECTLEVEL
  • REMOVEONOVERTAKE
  • DELETE_EMPTY will remove any SAP Tasks which contain no objects.
  • AUTO_RELEASE will automatically release any unreleased SAP Tasks that are included in the Transport(s) that you are creating a TOC for.
  • OPEN_NEW_TASKS will automatically create new SAP Tasks assigned to the same consultant as those included in the Transport(s) that you are creating a TOC for.
2. (optional) Use SAP transaction SE16 within table /BTI/TE_EXITC – add an entry for user exit 0855

Note this is an optional step that will auto-create/populate Transport Form for your TOC. Without the user exit switched on, the TOC will be created, but no Transport Form created for it.

TOC object splitting

As part of the ActiveControl ‘Transport of Copies’ functionality, it is possible to split out the original transport into several separate TOCs based on the objects contained within the original transport. Setting up this object splitting is a two step process, as follows:

Step Activity
1 Create Groups for each of the TOCs that you want to create by populating table /BTI/TE_TOCOBGRP



In above screenshot, we intend to split out each transport into two TOCs, one for BRF objects, and one for everything else

2 Allocate what objects you want to allocate to each groups by populating table /BTI/TE_TOCOBJ



In above screenshot, we intend to create one TOC for the various BRF related objects, and one for everything else
