Transport in SAP Data Services

[pallab_haldar]

Today I will discuss about the different transport techniques in SAP data services. Based on the project scenario and configuration we will select appropriate techniques.

1. Normal Import ATL file and export:

1. Taking Backups of ATL Files.
2. Select the object that needs to move in the local object repository.

   Right-click ->export->export to ATL File. Select the Target REPO of QA or Prod Environment. Then -                 Right click->Import->Import from the backup ATL File. change the Datastore connections according to the environment.

2. Using Central Repository:

By using Check in/check out concept.

1. Create a central repository and connect it to the local repository and activate the central repository.

2. From Local repository: Select Local Object -> Right Click. Add to central repository.

In another way -

1. You need to go to tools and select Central Repository:

2. From the dialog box we need to select the object which we want to promote.

3. From Target Repository in different environment - Check out the PROJP from central repo "with objects and dependents without replacement" option and check in again "with objects and dependents" OR

4. Right click on the Object à Get Latest Version à With Filtering.

3. Transport or promote the object with CTS + :
