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

You may use this functionality, if:

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

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

 

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 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 SNP 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 SNP Glue™ Profile Settings, the functionality ‘Apply storage mapping’ is applied automatically. 

SNP Glue™ TM cleanup

Cleanup redundant metadata

When you create transport on the source system, SNP Glue™ metadata in the 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 SNP Glue™ Transport Management through the transaction /DVD/GLTR.

  2. Select SNP 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 SNP Glue™ Objects) by SNP Glue™ TMS, you can delete all metadata on the system. This will remove SNP Glue™ TMS metadata for all non-transported or non-deleted SNP Glue™ objects. 

To delete all metadata use the following steps:

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

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