Client export/import Process

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I need to perform the client export/import in different systems (i.e which are not configure in the same land scape).

i.e i need to export a client data from developement system to our ides server(these systems are not in same land scape).

For this please let me know how can i perform the client export/import in different systems.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Vreddy,

Before doing client export and client import we need to follow up some important pre-steps.

like 1. we need to check whethere there are any BG jobs are running in the soure system.

2. we need to check no users must log in to source sys.

3.just lock all the users expect BASIS Users

4.check there is enough space in TRANS folder.

and follows the same like go to SCC8 and export and move the TR to respective systems and import using SCC7 and do post installation steps.

please drop points if you find any way to my answer.

Hi ,

Srividya is right .

The most important pre requisite before you do client copy across systems is that you need to have the

1) SP LEVELS same,

2) System release level,

3) Transport request created and imported in both systems should be exactly same

4) any addon , IS components installed on one source should also be present in target.

How you can check this is by tcode SCC9. in SCC9 there is a options RFC system comparison which will tell if your copy will be successful.

You create an RFC destination between your source ,target system, and you can run RFC system comparison.

Hi,

You can perform the transport of the client by following 3 steps:

1. Export the client from the source system using TA SCC8. This will create transport requests at the OS level.

2. Import the transport requests in the target system using STMS --> Import Queue Overview --> Extras --> Add

3. Client import post processing in TA SCC7.

You can find the details at:

Hope this helps.

To add to this message i am also in the mid of client export process,

I have executed SCC8 , it has generated two files in data and co-files folder but the size of the folder is around 28 mb in data files for those requests, and the logs says EXPORTED SUCCESSFULLY.

should i execute the import process....?

Hi,

Up to three transport requests are created, depending on the selected copy profile and the existing data.

<sid>KO<no>

<sid>KT<no>

<sid>KX<no>

Since it has finished successfully you can start the import,do the post import activities by SCC7.

After creating the three requests, how shall i proceed from here now,

Do i need to define new client in Target system using SCC4, after defining i will import those requests in the target client,, is it ok to proceed.

[Former Member]

Yes,you can go ahead with that.

hi,

Thanks for you response.. unfortunately i cannot assign points to.you..

I have checked the size of the generated requests which is around 28 mb each..

i wonder because of the size which is too small.

Hi Srividya,

Thank you for your valuable information and sorry for the delay response.

Yesterday I exported the client using T-code SCC8 in our quality system. Export was completed sucessfully in Quality system and It was generated two transport requests.

Then I have added these transport requests to cofiles and datafiles in the target system and i added this requests in import queue using stme t-code and performed the import process. But since last 30 hours it in process.

Please let me know what should i check to know the import process.

Hi Srividya,

Hi,

Select the specific transport and click on the "log" button or use Ctrl+F4.

Check the step where the error might have occurred and pass on the logs of that step.

Hello,

Did you import these two requests seperately ?

If you import them together, the system will take care of such issues.

Check the importing section:

Hi,

As Siddhesh says, the problem will be solved if you import the two together.

Choose one of the transport requests of the client transport in the Transport Management System (TMS). The other transport requests belonging to this client transport are then automatically added in the correct order.

Hi Srividya,

I imported the transport request requests properly in the target system. But these transport requests are imported with return code 8.

Please confirm these error belongs to supportpacks.Earlier i checked the support packs these are diff. in source system and Target system.

Hi Reddy,

Usually the client imports are done when the source and target systems are at same SP levels. If they are at different levels, the structure, field lengths and other attributes of some objects may vary and result in an error (which seems to be the case with you as the logs mention the tables where the error has occurred.)

Check

Aligning the support packages before you import the client is advisable.
