Hello Irfan,

Transport of customizing between diffeent releases is NOT supported. Also generated objects, which were generated by customizing, should NOT be transported between different releases.

SAP objects may NOT be transported between different releases (e.g. a table in an old release could have less fields than in the newer release and thus such a transport might delete data or if an abap calls a function module and in new release have one parameter more,then you get syntax errors if you transport only one of them from a system with the old release, ...).

So data loss and severe inconsistencies can happen if you transport SAP objects between different releases, or between systems with same release but different support package level or between systems with different addons or different add-on versions etc.

For pure customer objects (e.g. Z-tables, Z-programs, Y-tables, y-programs or objects in customer name space) it might be ok to transport them. But if e.g. your Z-table uses an SAP data element which has maybe been changed in the new release or does maybe no more exist, you can also get problems during transport of your z-table.

Data loss and severe inconsistencies can happen if you transport SAP objects between different releases, or between systems with same release but different support package level or between systems with different addons or different add-on versions etc.

Please check the following:

1090842 Composite note: Transport across several releases

1089083 Transports between Basis Releases 7.0* and 7.1*

556734 FAQ Transport: Setup and further information

Pay attention to point 5 and 6.

5. Are transports possible between systems with different Support Package versions?

6. Are transports possible between different R/3 releases?

HI Irfan

As per SAP Standards, we need to maintain same SP level to all landscape for transport.

Please refer to

Hope it helsp

Hi Irfan,

Tthere are certain risks when you perform transports between systems that have different Support Package levels and systems that have different releases . In your case , you must refer the SAP note 1089083 before starting any transports . Also check 1090842 . Anyway, it is possible to transport between dfferent releases and you may need few manual changes/modification after the import , at our own risk .

Hi

Thank you for your input,

Even i am unable to configure the STMS between two server on different, it is creating two domain groups instead of one.

Thanks,

Hi Irfan,

In such cases , you have to copy the Data file and Cofile from the Trans directory of source system to the target systems trans directory . Then you have to add the request via STMS_IMPORT > Extras > Other Request > Add

Then it can be imported in your STMS Queue .

Hi,

Exactly its not recommnded to transport between different releases, but still if you feel its a big development or something you can try to import into sandbox system first , test the functionality and then if its working you can proceed with landscape.

But still we recommned to generate a new transport request in same version system and then import.

Hi,

No, it is not recommended to have transport between systems having different releases because objects have different versions.

Thanks
