Hi,

the .tpz file will be created with Transport of Type File System.

You need to import this file from Dev. and the have to export it to Q.

refer

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a8/5e56006c17e748a68bb3843ed5aab8/frameset.htm

there is not much to do if you're using file transport

IR you just export (from the menu) and import the same way in the target IR

ID you just have to specify transport targets

(so names of your business systems will change)

if you're having one SLD

if not then you should also copy sld

so that all sld's data will be consistent

Abdul,

TPZ file format is the one which is used to import and export XI objects.

/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/12/09/xi-code-sample-understanding-the-tpz-file

please refer to the link hope it will help u.

This information is with reference to the weblog:

The .tpz is basically a shortcut for .tar.gz (compressed tar file). TPZ is the file extension for the compressed archive associated with TAR and with GNUzip .

Refer the link:

how to do transport objects from DEV to QA>

In Integration Repository object:

Right click on the Namespace which you want to send to Quality system and select the export optin and export

it....this will create a .tpz file on the server following path

\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\export\sample.tpz

<what to do after creation of .tpz files for DEV>

This file will be copied and pasted in follwoing path of QA

\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\import\sample.tpz

Similar procedure for directory

Right click on the configuration scenarion in development which you want to send to Quality select the export

optin and export it....this will create a .tpz file on the server following path

\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\xi\directory_server\export\sample.tpz

<how to reflect it in QA >

then login to the IR of the Quality select the Tools--Import option you will get this tpz file and import it and

Hi,

On which server this operation( Export) will do naa, that server path only this .tpz file will be created.

After that we have to copy that .tpz file and place that file in the other server path ( Import path) which u want to import

Abdul some more info regarding transports..

If you have already transfered the IR and ID objects from Dev to QA and now if you want to make changes to the existing system, then you need to make those changes in the Dev environment and you should transport it again to the QA, this will overwrite the existing IR and ID objects and only the latest details which you transported will be available.

In Dev,

You can goto Tools-->Export design Objects --> for IR

You can goto Tools-->Export Configuration Objects --> for ID

Now the objects in dev environment wil be exported to the directory configured(in case of File system transport).

Now goto QA,

Tools-->Import design Objects --> for IR

Tools-->Import Configuration Objects --> for ID

This will import the IR and ID objects from Dev to QA.

You can always have your version management, when you are transported objects from Dev to QA.

You can also use CMS transport for transporting objects from Dev to QA.
