Transport to other NetWeaver

[Former Member]

Hi all,

System Info : I'm using "SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial"

Following advice from earlier replies, I've created a program (ZTEST) in a package named ZPACKAGE with a transport order.

Now, I've clicked the little lorry "transport" icon from SE80 (Transport tab).

Now, when I go into SE10, I can see:

http://www.geocities.com/agalacy/sap_vmware_transport.JPG

My TO is N4SK90004.

Now, my question is what do I do to find this TO on the disk, copy it to be able to import it back into another NetWeaver.

An article I've found talks about using a program called "tp", which is designed to import/export TOs. Can someone give me some help with this ?

Thanks.

Hello Angela,

Go to your trasnport directory of the source system and look for the direcories data and cofiles.

inside of cofiles you will find a file named K90004.N4S

inside of data you will find a file named R90004.N4S

Copy them into the same directories of the target system, then go to STMS and select the queue of the system where you want to include those transport rquests, once you are into the queue Goto teh main menu Extras---> Other Request ---> Add

then the system opens a little window where you should specify the name N4SK90004 and then check the box "import again", finally just click on "Continue" button.

Thanks a lot for this help.

As you can see on this picture of my file system:

http://www.geocities.com/agalacy/sap_vmware_transport2.JPG

I don’t have the files in the folders. Is there a transactions/command/button to ask SAP to create these files ?

If you want, I can repeat my full procedure and note exactly what I do so you can tell me where I might have gone wrong. But basically this is what I remember I did:

SE80 : Create package ZPACKAGE (TO was created sometime on the fly while doing this, the TO name was generated automatically)

SE80 : Create program ZTEST in package ZPACKAGE

SE10 : I freed the TO by clicking on the lorry icon

Tell me if you think this is wrong and I’ll redo it to give exact description.

I really need this to work so I can start my real developments.

Thanks again from the help.

Hi Angela,

You need to configure your transport landscape.

This is not a task that can be explained in a few forum messages.

You need to read the documentation and better, attend an administration course.

Hello Angelica, if you cannot see those files is because the transport request N4SK90004 is not released yet. Go to SE09 or SE10 and look for the transport request N4SK90004 and release it including its task.

If you are not able to release it, check the configuration of your TMS.

Hi Jorge, and thanks for your helpful replies....

I feel I'm nearly there and I'd really like to get passed this final step (export from one NW and import into another). Then I can start my real developments...

following your post, here's what I observe :

On this picture (SE10) it looks like my TO is released :

http://www.geocities.com/agalacy/sap_vmware_transport3.JPG

This shows the status of my TO (Released) and the log file from the release (which I found today).

And on this one I can't find the files :

http://www.geocities.com/agalacy/sap_vmware_transport3.JPG

Also, I've done a few searches with things like :

find / -name "N4SK90000" -print

find / -name "90000" -print

But with these all I find is the log files. So, I'm just about sure the files don't exist.

I've searched on the web and I've read about a TPPARAM file. It looks like I don't have this at all... Also, in the log the path says "tp", could this be the problem ?

Thanks for some help. If anyone sees anything wrong, please let me know. Also, I can provide any other information (and redo the process).

Hello Angela,

just a question, what happend when you release a TO? is it added into the queue of the next system of the landscape??

Please check it and let me know what you notice.

Jorge

Hi,

I can't remember what happened... I'm starting up my VMWare right now to replay the scenario (with a new package, a new TO, a new program etc) and pay attention to the "queue" aspect...

Also, I'll write down exactly what I do and post it here so maybe you see what I'm doing wrong.

This will probably take an our or so I guess.

I'll be back. Thanks.

Hi Jorge,

Here's a list of 14 images showing what I do:

http://www.geocities.com/agalacy/transport.zip

Basically, here's what I do in the images:

Startup VMWare

Run "startsap n4shost"

Connect with SAPGUI, developer/developer

In SE80:

Create package ZPACKAGE2 (and the TO is created here)

Create program ZTEST2 and activate it

In SE10, Release ZTEST2 then ZPACKAGE

The pictures show most the dialogs I get and what I put in them.

I looked at STMS for the queue stuff, but it looks like this is for importing. Where else should I look ?

Do you see why I get no files in "cofiles" and "data" at the end ?

Thanks again for your help.

mmmmm, very weird.

could you go to STMS and then press (shift+F6) to get an screen shoot and show us how is it.

I think that the transport directory is not in the same system of N4S.

Once you are in the system overview, click twice on N4S system, then go to transport tool tab and get an other screen shoot from there.

Jorge.

Hi Jorge,

I've done the pictures you mentioned (and discovered some more interesting screens of SAP at the same time ). Here they are:

http://www.geocities.com/agalacy/stms.JPG

http://www.geocities.com/agalacy/system_overview.JPG

http://www.geocities.com/agalacy/n4s_transport_tool.JPG

The path "/usr/sap/trans" seems ok, but the files aren't in there... What's strange is that the log file is created.

What do you think of this ?

Angela

Sorry, my site seems to be down. I'll try to put the pictures back later or I'll try to send them you.

Angela

OK, here they are (thanks to www.somee.com):

Hello Angela,

I've been checking the pictures you sent, and I just noticed something, I don't konw how is in Linux, but usually on NT the configuration for TRANSDIR in the transport tool tab is as show the picture below:

[http://www.geocities.com/jorge_r_c/Transport_tool.jpg]

Also check your profile parameters via RZ10 that you have set the parameter DIR_TRANS.

Jorge

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi,

In RZ10, I click the arrow next to Profile, and I get a message saying "No profile found".

Do you think I should create a profile with my name "DEVELOPER" ?

Angela

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

If there is no profiles, once you are in the RZ10, go to main menu: Utilities --> Import Profiles --> Of Active Servers.

Then try to open the profile once again, you should find a profile name like "N4S_DVEBMGS00_n4shost" open it and verify if you have the parameter DIR_TRANS, if not set it.

Regards,

Jorge.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Ok, I've done this. The Utilities --> Import Profiles --> Of Active Servers worked fine and there was no DIR_TRANS, so I created it with /usr/sap/trans

I'm currently rerunning my scenario to see if the transport order is written to disk.

Be back later to tel you. Whatever, thanks a lot.

Angela

Oh dear, despite all your help, it's still not working, I've replayed my scenario, and still no new files in "cofiles" and "data"...

Picture 3 shows the newly created variable

What else could be wrong ? Any other ideas ?

Do you think I should try replacing "/usr/sap/trans" by "//usr/sap/trans" ?

Angela

well, what we are gonig to do is to create a virtual system in order to assign it as target system of those reansport requests.

once you create the virtual system, configure the transport routes, then go to SE09 and verify if the virtual system is the target system of the transport requests.

if you have any question regarding to it, please let me know.

Regards,

Jorge.

Hi,

Ok, this sounds interisting. Just, where should I start to "create a virtual system" ? Is their a transaction in which this is done or has it to do with the installation phase, or is this done from the SAP GUI initial screen (with the new/edit/delete/connect buttons) ? I've searched around a little in the menus and not found anything.

Angela

STMS - > Overview -> System

then in the next screen

SAP Systems -> Create -> Virtual System

You need to login in 000 with DDIC user and create.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

once you have created the virtual system, configure the transport route.

go to STMS then press (shift+f7), then go to main menu, Configuration --> Standard configuration --> Development and production system.

The system is going to request for development system, assign N4S system, then in Production system assign the virtual system. Finally press continue, save and distribute and activate the configuration across all systems.

Jorge.

Thanks for the instructions Jorge and Shaji.

I've followed them (with account "developer"), only one difference Shaji, I didn't get prompted any login/pass, I just got the screen "pic0" and used SHR as the name for my virtual system :

http://www.agalacy.somee.com/pic0.JPG

Then pic1 is after saving.

http://www.agalacy.somee.com/pic1.JPG

pic2 when I double click on SHR.

http://www.agalacy.somee.com/pic2.JPG

But now, as you can see in in pic3, the "Configuration --> Standard configuration --> Development and production system" function isn't accessible:

http://www.agalacy.somee.com/pic3.JPG

Why is that (note : I've also tried with login/pass SAP*/sapn4sadm) ?

Angela

oops, I forgot to tell you something, before to go to STMS then press (shift+f7), then go to main menu, Configuration --> Standard configuration --> Development and production system.

Go to STMS then press (shift+f7), then go to main menu, Configuration --> Display <-> Change

Then try again.

Regards,

Jorge.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Sorry, I should have known that, it is a "standard SAP" button/function.

Thanks. I'm continuing the process now.

Hi Jorge,

Good news !!!!!! Things are much better now :

http://www.agalacy.somee.com/have_transport_files.JPG

The files are now there in cofiles and data (N4S ones)!

This is great, I'm really pleased we've got through this.

Now, next step of course will be importing them back into another NW.

If you have any quick suggestions for this they're welcome. In the meantime I'll look aroung myself a little (between SE10 and STMS in particular).

However, for now I'll close this question and mark it as replied. Thanks again !

Happy Angela
