Information Steward Accelerator (ISA)

CTS for ISA Overview

To move SAP Information Steward (IS) and SAP Information Steward Accelerator (ISA) content between development tiers (environments), a set of steps must be followed in the order specified due to the interrelationships that exist between the data elements in the two applications (Projects, Rules, Rule Bindings and other elements). 

The process is performed in:

  • SAP IS by a technical IS user
  • SAP ISA by a user familiar with ISA
  • SAP Central Management Console (CMC) by the Administrator of the CMC environment
  • Data Stewardship Platform (DSP)® by an Administrator or technical lead

Refer to the CTS section in System Administration for general information about CTS.

Before the promotion of the code to the target environment:

  • The client environment must be running ISA version 6.5.3 or later.
  • Both the source and target environment must be on the same version level.

Additionally, to move the data elements:

  • The user performing the code promotion must be familiar with both IS and the ISA.
  • The user must have knowledge of the CTS application used for the code promotion of the ISA. Refer to CTS in System Administration for more information.
  • The source environment must have been built out so that the IS and ISA configuration is aligned and able to be executed successfully for the IS Project that is to be promoted.
  • The source and target Collect environments must have been configured to point to the respective IS repository sources.

To CTS ISA objects:

  1. Export IS Project Content in IS

  2. Create the CTS Package of ISA Content in the DSP®

  3. Create the CTS Package of Schedules Referenced by ISA in the DSP®

  4. Create the Target Environment Project and Connections in the CMC

  5. Import the IS Project into the Target IS Environment in IS

  6. Create Users in the Target ISA Environment in the DSP®

  7. Run the Collect Process in the DSP® to Align the IS Metadata Repository with ISA

  8. Run Tasks associated to the IS Project in IS

  9. Import the CTS Package into the Target ISA Environment in the DSP®

  10. Import the CTS Package of Schedules into the Target ISA Environment in the DSP®

  11. Open the ISA Project Summary page in the DSP®  to align the IS metadata Repository with ISA
