To switch on each of the development system functions table /BTI/TE_ACTIVE must be maintained in the Transport Expresso domain controller system. An entry is required in this table for each development system along with the functions to be switched on:
- Transport is released
- Transport is first used
- In-Line Conflict Analysis
- Show object keys in In-Line Conflict Analysis
- Cache Transport Object details
- Allow TF Creation by-pass
- Unit test on release
- Show Transport Form popup only when configured objects added
- Object Segregation
- Prevent releasing the transport
Transport is released: (ON_RELEASE) To implement the functionality to create Transport Forms and Tasks when releasing transports in the SAP GUI, the BADI /BTI/TE_BADI_TR_FORM must be activated in the relevant development systems using SE19. This BADI is delivered active and pre-coded to check the “Transport is released” activation flag on the domain controller.
Transport is first used: (ON_CREATE) This functionality uses an enhancement spot. No additional implementation steps required.
In-Line Conflict Analysis: (INLINECONF) This functionality switches on Inline Conflict Analysis, to identify conflicts across parallel development systems
Show object keys in In-Line Conflict Analysis: (INLINEKEY) This option results in Inline Conflict Analysis showing object keys in the results. If this is activated, then In-Line Conflict Analysis must also be active
Cache Transport Object details: (OBJCACHE)
Allow TF Creation by-pass: (BYPASS): This option can be used to bypass the Transport Form creation process in a particular system.
Unit test on release: This option switches on Automated Unit Testing within the SAP GUI. Note that there is some configuration that needs to be done as well, this is detailed later in the Administration Guide, “Unit Test Automation” section.
Show Transport Form popup only when configured objects added: (OBJ_DEPEND) This option can be used by customers that only want a Transport Form to be required for certain objects. Other configuration is needed to activate this functionality, please refer to online forum for details.
Object Segregation: (OBJ_SPLIT) This option can be used by customers that want to ensure certain objects are not mixed in the same transport. Other configuration is needed to activate this functionality, please refer to online forum for further details.
Prevent releasing the transport: (PREVENTREL) This option can be used to hide the “Do you want to release..” screen in the SAPGUI that is seen after populating the Transport Form using the ONRELEASE active function. It is useful for customers that want to prevent Developers prematurely releasing Transports before other approvals are performed.
In all cases, an RFC destination called TRANSPORT EXPRESS CONTROLLER must be created, linking back to the Expresso domain controller system. (See section on RFC Destinations in this document for details)
This needs to connect to the main client in the Domain Controller system where the users will login so their roles can be validated.
