Re: How to prevent creation of TRs outside of CHARM

There are two options to completely restrict
users creating Transport Requests without using ChaRM:

1. SAP_CTS_PROJECT : Set the project assignment as mandatory
   for a Transport Request in the managed system. This can be set either from
   Solution Manager system or into Managed system directly. This attribute forces
   all Transport Requests that is created must belong to a Project (i.e with ChaRM
   in place - ChaRM project).
   
   Managed System:
   a. In
   Transport Organiser Tool using transaction SE03.
   b. Under Administration:
   Display/Change Request Attributes
   
   or you can access it directly using
   report in transaction SE38 --> RSWBO006
   
   c. Now, set
   attribute SAP_CTS_PROJECT with "Attribute Required for
   Requests" as "X Mandatory".
   
     
   
   Check the following SAP Help link to get
   more information about this attribute:
   Attribute SAP_CTS_PROJECT
   
   
   Solution
   Manager System:
   a. Call transaction
   /n/TMWFLOW/CMSCONF
   b. Check the entries in the
   "Proj. Assignment" column.
   c. Double click on the entry for
   which mandatory Project Assignment needs to apply.
   d. Change it to
   Mandatory.
   
   
   
   
2. Authorization Object: S_TRANSPRT: If users still can create
   Transport Requests manually from managed system without using ChaRM, then remove
   authorization to create Transport requests in each system from all users (except
   ChaRM / Service connections). In this way, users won't be able to create
   Transport Requests from outside the Task list but can still work as normal in
   ChaRM and create Transport Requests from the Change Document itself as this uses
   RFC users.
   So, remove activity 01 (create) from:
   Object:
   S_TRANSPRT
   Activity: 01 - Create
   Request Type:
   CUST     Customizing Requests & DTRA     Workbench Requests
   
   
   Check
   the following SAP help link to know more information about Authorization Object:
   S_TRANSPRT:
   Authorization Objects in the CTS
   
   Also check:
   Authorization Objects   A Simple Guide - document or Authorization Objects   A
   Simple Guide
   
   
   To find the users having authorization
   object: S_TRANSPRT, please use the following steps:
   a. Transaction
   SUIM.
   b. Under User --> Users by Complex Selection
   Criteria, execute "By Authorizations".
   c. Enter Authorization Object:
   S_TRANSPRT.
   d. Execute.
   
   Note: For best results, leave
   one role “Z” with the object  S_ TRANSPRT with the following authorizations so
   that the users can Release transports, include objects from other transport and
   all the usual developer tasks:
   Act: 03,05,43
   OBJTC: CUST,DTRA,TASK
