Pusher Process Definitions for SAP CTS+

You can use a Pusher Process Definition to forward objects to the SAP CTS+ Transport Domain Controller and initiate a transport request. By default, this creates a new request, because the Request number parameter does not have a default value. For CTS this means that the default request of the user is not used. Use an existing request (the user's default request) by specifying default for the Request number parameter (alternatively, you can specify the request number). The process will look up requests for the user specified on the XBP tab of the SAP System for the client you selected in the Client field, and will use the default for that SAP system if the Client field is empty. Do not enter a value in the Request number field if you want a new request created; this, however, assumes that you use either the Smart or Create transport request strategy (WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY).

The following things can cause the transport to fail:

  • Specifying Default in the Request number field, if the user as defined on the SAP system does not have a default request.
  • Specifying an invalid Request number.
  • Using the Tagged transport request strategy but not entering a value in the Request number field.

Note that the request is released automatically by default because the Release request parameter has a default value of Yes. You can change the defaults in the Process Definition, but be sure to duplicate it prior to customizing it, because it will be overwritten if you import a CTS+ CAR file again.

Tip: If you set the Queue and all mandatory parameters, you will not get the Submit Wizard and will be able to promote objects seamlessly via CTS+.
