Read Transport Request files

[Former Member]

Hi
I create a comparison tool, to compare external Transport Request and System.

The TR is in STMS import queue (Status Request waiting to be imported).

I need to konw if it's possible to view full contend of the Transport Request.
With FM TMS_MGR_READ_TRANSPORT_REQUEST  i get the objects of the Transport Request but for some object's it isn't enough.

I need the source code or Table entries so i can compare them with my System. 

Is there a way to read Transport Request Data file or something like this?

I think this "deciphering" at import is done by the external "tp" and/or "R3trans" commands, I would be surprised (and very interested) if there was a way to convert the data file contents into readable format by means of ABAP programming.

Maybe you can import in a sandbox and remote compare with your actual box of interest.

There will be a way - Alan Turing proved that. It's just very unlikely to be simple.

Hi Thomas,

Transport data files are just 16384-length pages LZH archives, similar to SAPCAR. After extracting and concatenating you could have BLOB with text/binary, I think it's R3trans export format.

Feel free asking me if any questions.

OpenSource is here: sapcar, hascar.

Ilya Kuznetsov You say that sapcar is open source, it's interesting, do you have a link please? And is it really officially supported by SAP or is it a copyright/intellectual property infringement or something like that? Thanks!
