Import Tables in Development SAP ECC system

Hi Team,

Our BASIS team wants to know the steps to find out what all changes are being done in the SAP Source system during the Table import operation in Data Services Designer. This will help them to create transport request and move it to the whole landscape. By default it is not creating any Transport request in the source SAP system.

Currently, Data Services is asking for opening the client of source sap system to import the data into DS. We can't do it for quality, UAT and Production system. We are following SAP Note: 1881978. As per this note, solution is "Use another system that allows changes, upload the ABAP programs, then transport them using SAP CTS". But we are unable to figure out the program/objects changes to be moved using Transport request. I did not find any note with this list. While importing the data from Source SAP Development system, it is not creating any Transport request. So, only option left with us to ask you to provide list of the those programs/objects that needs to moved from DEV to the rest of the landscape to avoid opening the source SAP system client.

Raised an Incident(660835) with SAP Support Team and they say that the details are internal and they are not opened

If the details are internal then what is the purpose of this SAP note as solution to this problem. Provide us the steps or process to get this info, so that we can avoid opening the Source SAP system client.

Arun Sasi

Simply export/import the table definitions from the DS DEV repo into the DS QA & PreProd ones. Or go thru a central repo.

IMHO nothing related to import table definitions must be transported from DEV to QA/UAT/PRD.

A DS Import Table operation doesn't change anything in the SAP system, it only reads table metadata form the dictionary. If data models are identical accross the different tiers in your landscape, you can reuse those defintions for accessing actual data from the non-DEV systems by using DS datastore configurations.

Thanks Dirk!!

In our QA and Pre Prod Source SAP System if the Client is closed then what is the workaround to import the tables. When we import the table in QA and Pre Prod it is throwing an error as the Client is not open. When we open the client then it does not throw any error.

RFC CallReceive error <Function /BODS/RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN: RFC_ABAP_MESSAGE, Changes to Repository objects are not permitted in this client)

We are following the workaround as per the SAP note provided

https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/1881978

For Importing tables in DS Designer, Generate and Execute option will be used for all the environments. We are not using any ABAP data flows in our jobs so we will not use the Execute Preloaded option in our Datastore configuration for QA, Pre Prod and Prod.

We have also created different configuratiosn for DEV; QA and Pre Prod.
