Copy single program from production to development ?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am a basis consultant and m not sure it is a right place to ask this question.

There is a program which is running in our Production server, any abaper has made certain changes in that program at Development server. Now, our requirement is that we need a similar copy of a program in Development server as in our Production Server.

Is there any way at Basis level so that we can copy that particular program from Production server to Development server without affecting the others.

thanx in advance.

Vineet

The option called "Transport of Copies" will let you achieve it. You just need to ask the ABAP'er to make use of it. I would consider using this as there will be transport logs generated for further reference.

Hi Vineet,

you have few possibilities:

- Activate older version(same version what is active in Prod) of that program in Dev System.

- Transport back that program from Prod/QA using transport of Copies.

Hi ashish,

Our Transport Route is DEV-QAS-PRD, so how could I tranport back, if possible please provide steps.

- you can create a transport request of type Transport of copy in SE01.

- Now add this object manually in this request.

- Manually add this in import buffer/queue of Dev and perform import.

Hi Vineet,

If its only single program which you need to copy from PRD to DEV, you can simply download and upload the same into DEV. No need to modify the transport route or create a new TR in Production.

Download can be done to local pc in flat file format and you may create a new version in development.

Hope this helps.
