Transport objects (Tables, programs,..) from a SAP system to another SAP system on different server

[Former Member]

Hello everyone!

I wanted to transport objects as tables, programs, function groups.. etc from a SAP system on a server to a SAP system on another server

What are the ways available to achieve this ?

I researched and found two ways:

1- Using SAPlink Home | SAPlink Project | Assembla
But it was limits to few object types and didn't support the transport of Tables or any Data dictionary object.

2- Create a transport and once released in SE09, they'll create a cofile and a datafile locates on /usr/sap/trans/cofile and /usr/sap/trans/data respectively the files will have format of K<transport_number>.<sid> and R<transport_number>. and those files could be imported on the other system. as discussed in this link:

But I didn't try this way myself and I couldn't find more detailed tutorial for it.

Are there any other ways or tools to transport objects from one SAP system to another on different servers?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Omar,

are the system in the same network or are you talking about external system?

Than you setup also a global transport controler.

Via this solution you can move transports by forwarding them over systems.

If not, you need to stick by release the transport files and copy them over OS from your TRANS folder to the TRANS folder of the target system (DATA and CO Files). Next you can add them to the transport queue by adding them via the transport management transaction (SMTS).

Thank you Carlos for you're quick reply.

No its not on the same network, its an external one in another place.

Hi Omar,

As already mention but to just add, once you create and release a transport request you get a cofiles and a datafile in /usr/sap/trans/cofiles and /usr/sap/trans/data folder respectively.

You can just copy these two files from one server to another using scp / winscp tool to another server and then go to stms or stms_import, add the transport request manually and then select the transport and import in target server.

Thank you Sharma for your reply, I'll check the winscp tool out.
