ABAP configuration copy - new Implementation

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a ECC6 system at a remote location where functional guys & developers making changes over last few months. Now we are building the landscape at customer office and in the first box of the landscape i.e. ECC6 dev server we need to apply those configuration changes which functional team members are doing in the remote server. This remote box will be dismantled soon.

Question is: How can the configuration changes(SPRO changes,a lot of customizing transport requests and a few workbench requests) can be copied to data center ? As both the servers are in different location so there is no common transport path established.

We have only one client in the concerned server. Is there any option to copy all the SPRO changes that has done in any system ?

Anybody has faced this scenario ?

Please give your expert opinion on this.

Thanks

Hi,

Eventhough you dont have common transport path , you can still import transport requests from remote location , proceed as below:

1) Release all transport requests

2) Check for generated transport files(Data and cofiles) /usr/sap/trans/data and /usr/sap/trans/cofiles

3) Copy those files to your customer office server to same location ./usr/sap/trans/data and /usr/sap/trans/cofiles

4) Go to STMS_IMPORT Extras>Other request>Add, here give individual transport request number

5) Finally import

Other option is to perform remote Client copy using export import method.

Hope it will help you!!

Have a nice day!!

I have thought of this transport option by using export/import.

But all the configuration objects can be copied this way ?

Hi,

Which option you are talking about. If you are asking about the transports then as said above release all the requests in which the changes/customization saved then release them and after that copy the files in the new systems data file and co file fodler in usr/sap/trans. After that need to add the request to the import queue and transport them. This way what all changes you want to move to new system should be saved in a reques and if that request is released and transported all the changes will come.

If you are talking about the client export/import then depends on the pofile which you choose. Since you want only the SPRO changes then as per my knowledge SAP_CUST profile should suffice your requirement.

I guess in the remote site, you have only one system.

If you release the transports, it will not create the data/cofiles unless you have the target system set for the transport request created.

Another choice you have is to use "Transport of copies", which can extract the cofiles/datafiles and can be copied over to the trans directory in the data center and import it via STMS.

Thanks you all.

Hi,

We do not know if there are possibilities in your network for copying files or doing a remote copy. If you have sufficient network resources then follow the above said process. In addition to above, which ever method you are following before doing a remote copy or transporting requests make sure that the patch levels in both the systems should be same. Then only your requirement will be achieved successfully.
