Method for generating a transport track through a software system landscape and computer system with a software system landscape and a transport track

摘要

A method for generating a transport track for routing transport requests through a software system landscape comprising a central control system and a plurality of logical systems interconnected by logical transport paths, a transport request defining a software service to at least one of the code and the data of a system in the landscape, is described. The method includes selecting a group of systems for a software service project according to a project definition; analyzing in the central system the transport paths between the systems of the group for finding a suitable route through all systems of the group; and generating in the central system a transport track according to the analysis, the transport track defining a route for transport requests through all systems of the group in a particular order, the transport track specifying one source system in which software services are permitted, pairs of adjacent interconnected systems, and at least one target system.

1. A method to determine a transport track for routing transport requests through a software system landscape comprising a central control system and a plurality of logical systems interconnected by logical transport paths, a transport request defining a software service for customization, adaptation, program or data update of a system to at least one of the code and the data of a system in the landscape, the method comprising:
selecting a group of systems for a software service project according to a project definition; determining, using one or more computers in the central system a transport track, the transport track defining a route for transport requests through all systems of the group in a particular order, the transport track specifying one source system in which software services are permitted, adjacent interconnected systems, and at least one target system; defining by the software service project a group of systems for which the software service is required; analyzing, wholly within the central system, the transport paths between the systems of the group for finding a suitable route through all systems of the group by accessing transport layout information of the software system landscape and project data by the central control system, the transport paths being for the delivery of the software services, the software services being software executables; analyzing, wholly within the central system, whether further development work is required in a local part to adapt the software service for the local part; and generating the transport track in the central system in accordance with the analyzing of the transport paths.
