ActiveControl allows for dependencies to be defined between transports coming from different SAP development systems. For example, it might be necessary to define a dependency between a change made in an ECC system and another change made in a Business Warehouse system. Cross-system dependencies are defined on the Transport Form in the same way as for dependencies between transports coming from the same SAP development system – it is simply a matter of stating that transport A is dependent on transport B.
In order to enforce cross-system dependencies, Transport Expresso must be able to equate different SAP systems that serve the same purpose, for example an ECC Test system and a BW Test system. This is achieved by assigning the SAP systems to a common target role.
Technically, when Transport Expresso checks a dependency where transport A is dependent on prior import of transport B, it checks whether transport B has been applied to the SAP system that transport A is being applied to, or that transport B has been applied to at least one other SAP system with the same role as the SAP system that transport A is being applied to.
Please refer to the previous sections Defining Targets and Defining Target Roles for more information about creating target roles and assigning them to target SAP systems.
Please also refer to the Release Orchestration section of this Administrator Guide for other relevant information.
