Storage mapping functionality enables you to set up the storage of a transported Glue table on the target system.

You may use this functionality, if:

  • The storage on the source system has a different Storage ID as on the target system.

  • You want to use different storage on the target system.

For more information about the external storage of the Glue table, see the section Storage.

To set up the storage mapping:

  1. Go to Table Maintenance through the transaction /DVD/RL_TM. For more information about this topic, see the chapter Datavard Table Maintenance.

  2. Enter the table /DVD/GL_TR_STR_M.

  3. Execute two times.

  4. Click New entry to add a record in the table /DVD/GL_TR_STR_M on the target system.

    • In Source storage specify the name of the storage on the source system

    • In Target storage specify the name of the storage on the target system

  5. Execute.

For example, if the storage ID in Source storage is H_CNN_MSI and the storage ID in Target storage is H_CNN_MSH, then each Glue table in the transport with the storage ID H_CNN_MSI on a source system will use the storage ID H_CNN_MSH on a target system.

If the transport request contains also the Glue Profile Settings the functionality Apply storage mapping is applied automatically. 

Glue TM cleanup

Cleanup redundant metadata

When you create transport on the source system, Glue metadata in a form of table content is created. After the release of the transport request, this metadata is redundant and you may manually delete it.

To delete these metadata use the following steps:

  1. Go to Glue Transport Management through the transaction /DVD/GLTR.

  2. Select Glue STMS released (F7) in the Tool menu of the screen toolbar.

Cleanup all metadata

When you transport a request with inconsistent metadata to the target system, by trying any not supported actions (see the chapter Change Scenarios of Glue Objects) by Glue TMS, you can delete all metadata on the system. This will remove Glue TMS metadata for all non-transported or non-deleted Glue objects. 

To delete all metadata use the following steps:

  1. Go to Glue Transport Management through the transaction /DVD/GLTR.

  2. Select Cleanup all in the Tool menu of the screen toolbar.
