Installation

The Datavard Glue content is delivered with transport requests and must be imported using the Transport Management System (transaction STMS).

 A complete Datavard Glue transport contains two components:

• Datavard Reuse library 
• Datavard Glue

Import of transports step by step

For each component mentioned above, you must:

1. Copy transports into a transport directory of a target SAP system.
2. Access Transport Management System by entering the transaction STMS.

   _{Transport selection}

5. Select the desired transport and import it by clicking the icon  
6. Access the Datavard Glue Cockpit by entering the transaction /DVD/GLUE in the target system 

License installation

Within the first run, the license must be installed. The license for Datavard Glue is either time-bound and expires after a certain time period, or is unlimited (until 31.12.9999). As the license is bound to a system, every new system with installed Datavard Glue requires a new license.

Glue license installation

In Glue Cockpit, click on License-> License

A new dialog appears. Here you enter all license information. If you do not possess a license, please contact Datavard support.

Special content (ERP)

After you complete the previous steps and Glue is successfully installed, it is necessary to execute the report '/DVD/GL_BPL_SPKFL_CONTENT_GEN' and the '/DVD/GL_DD_SPKFL_CONTENT_GEN' which generate content for the special functionality called Meaningful values. For more information on how to use or set up this functionality, please see the chapter Glue User Guide.

Uninstallation
