Client-based Transport distribution

Some SAP customers have a SAP client architecture requirement to distribute transports to particular system clients in the landscape, based on rules and the source client of the transport.

Although this is not a common scenario, it is possible to do it within Transport Expresso using configuration.

Configuring transport distribution rules

1) Populate table /BTI/TE_IMP_CLI in the TE Domain Controller with your required transport distribution rules

PATH: the TE path for which the rule is being defined
SOURCE SYSTE: the source system (SID)
SOURCE CLIENT: the source system client
TARGET: the target system in the path where the transport has/not to be imported into particular client
SORT ORDER: used for sorting the clients in a particular target
TARG CLIENT: The client of the target system
SKIP: An X should be entered in this field for the rules where you want the transport to not be imported into the defined client defined in the rest of the rule

2) Switch on TE_EXIT_SAMPLE_0065 in /BTI/TE_EXITC table in the TE Domain Controller.

Notes:
i) the import queue is not skipped, it is during the import that the skipping occurs based on the rules defined
in the configuration table
ii) the clients will be sorted based on SORTORDER
iii) if a client is not defined in the configuration it will be ignored
iiii) if no entries are found for a transport it will be imported in all the clients defined in the config
iv) the transports can still be imported using both single one-by-one or block import.
