Transporting ABAP proxy objects from one environment to another

[Former Member]

Hi

I have ABAP client proxy objects ( classes in ECC 5.0 and the corresponding XI message interfaces on the XI server ) - in my development environment.

I need to move the ABAP proxy objects to the Qa environment. Two ways of doing this come to my mind.

1) Move the proxy classes within the ECC 5.0 Dev --> QA using normal transport organizer in ABAP workbench. Parallely , move the XI SCVs - from dev to QA ( export/import ). After both are done, go to QA environment, setup basic ECC5.0 <-> XI connection and check whether my ABAP proxies work.

2) As an alternate approach to no.1, move only the XI based SCVs from Dev -->QA , go to ECC 5.0 QA environment

and regenerate the ABAP proxies there using SPROXY - perhaps this will not be allowed in the QA environment - since the client will not be setup for any object changes/creation.

Any thoughts/links/weblogs on the above is appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your time.

First option is the only feasible one. Because, in QA you will not have a developer's key to generate the proxies and subsequently in Production which is not suggestable ( I do not think any company would agree to have a developer key in production box).

Hi Kartik,

We recently moved our outbound proxies from dev to QA and we followed the first approach and we did not face any issues with the approach.

Also SAP suugests the same approach...

"You create proxy objects in the development system by using the proxy generation functions. They are transported and shipped by using the tools in the development system. There are separate tools in the Integration Repository (see also: Software Logistics for XI Objects)."
