Development system copy? Transports Status?

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

We are in process of upgrading our SAP ECC box. As a part of project we are building a new development box by copying the exiting development

box and then basis will run the upgrade process on the new development box.

But we discovered when we do the system copy, the transports which were in modifiable status are coming as released status in new box. This is something we were not expecting.I am from ABAP team not from basis, all our teams are trying to figure out a solution if its possible to do system

copy without making the transport released?

These are very old transports and we are planing to clean them after system copy but for that we need them to be not release.

Thank you , please do share your thoughts!

Thank you Ashish, Divyanshu, Rajendra and Ashutosh.

I manually changed the status of the transport in the new development system from "Released" to

"Modifiable".But when I am deleting/cleaning the transport objects(Z table) its prompting to create

a new transport.

Is there any way we can force these object changes to go into same old transport?

Prompt says -"Use requests from this system only"

Hi Divyanshu,

We are copying existing development not production because in new system we want to keep

version history. If we copy Q or Prod we will loose the version history.

Hi,

You should have done below:

1) Current client export in Development (Let's say X and Y clients)

2) System copy from Production to Development (Client Z replaces your Development box)

3) Client import into Development (It adds X and Y clients to your development box)

In this case you get your production data in one client all existing Development clients in other clients so that you do not loose objects/versions.

Hi Shammi,

From database level , change the TR Status from R to D in E070 table.

update sapsr3.E070 set TRSTATUS='D' where TRKORR='transport number'.

update sapsr3.E070 set TRSTATUS='D' where TRKORR='transport number'.

Updating a standard SAP table direclty is not recommended!

Use SAP's standard procedures if you have (Reports/BAPI/FMs etc.)

Dear

from table level also modify request from released to modifiable that would solve your issue

in table E070 you can change from se16n you can check it out

Hi Shammi,

Please use copy of production system for testing upgrade.

If you still want to deviate from normal behaviour,  use report RDDIT076 to change status of transports.

Hi Shammi,

If you are creating a new system from existing Dev system with a new SID, in new system TRs will be in Released status. This is expected and correct behavior.
