Import the transport container

You can use the PPM Customizing Toolkit to import the transport container into the PPM client. The required elements are added to the client configuration. This includes special conformance dimensions, measures, and attributes.

The conformanceCheck.zip transport file is located in the PPM installation directory.

<PPM installation>\ppm\server\bin\work\data_ppm\samples\conformance\transport_container\

If there is a naming conflict between keywords in the transport package and existing customizing, you must manually adjust the names using CTK. Note that keywords from the transport container should not be changed unless there is a conflict. The natural language names presented in graphical user interfaces can be changed.
