Hello,

you can use the export editor for this. Go to Package Export Editor (System Administration -> Transport -> Export). This will export your iviews, folder. Check out

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/dd/3755bfcbdd9d4baaa1f02eb038f0fa/content.htm

As for the system they are not transported in the same way. The system object has to be created on the new server and given the same system alias it had on the current system.

Hi Vikas

You can make use of the transport mechanism to export your Portal Content. In order to achieve this go to System Administration->Transport->Export.

Right click on Portal Content folder and select New -> Transport Package and create the object. Now click on the folder containing all your iViews, Worksets and other Portal Content objects. Right click on the folder and select Add all objects option.

In the Export Settings Option, check the <b>include all objects on which the exported objects</b> depend option and click on the Export button. You will now get a .epa file which will contain all your portal content objects. You can download this file to your local machine and again import it into another portal, if you wish to, at some other point of time.

As for the System object, there is no other way than creating the system again on the new server as suggested by Jorgen.

Hi Priya,

Thanks for reply.

By following the steps as mentioned by you I was able to create a transport package and export that package also.

My Transport package included the following things

1. Two folders

2. Two iViews

3. one .par file

However when I tried to import the above package by choosing the option

'Source for package file - client' and then browsing where my .epa file was placed, I got the following error after clicking Upload button-

'Error extracting the package file. Check the log file for details'

What can be reason for this error?

Where can I see the log files so that I can check error?
