Greetings! Please help me find the answer to a question about the secure way of automating the copying of transport (cofiles and data files) in SAP ABAP systems if the requirements do not permit /usr/sap/trans to be NFS mounted from prod in one data center to QA and DEV in another data center. The second url below from SAP talks about a more secure option of using rfc connections in TMS for allowing its automation to copy transport files from dev to qa to production. However, this requires opening firewall ports and so some colleagues feel that this approach is risky and instead prefer rsync to sync up the transport directory for the client. I have read rsync's man page at the first url below and to me this appears to be more risky in terms of the broad scope of things that can be done through it, including the ability to overwrite any file in any directory owned by adm. It still requires ports to be open versus the limited scope of opening rfc ports that SAP recommends. Please advise and let me know if there is any document or white paper at SAP that delves into the security aspect of this rfc connection solution for more security conscious customers.
