Copy ABAP Programs from one SID to Different SID

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

As i did client copy,now i want to copy all programs from one SID to Another SID.As i have searched on sdn i got same

questions raised,but it will be a lenghty process.As i have so many programs,so it'll be a tough job to download all programs and

upload them one by one.So kindly tell me the easiest way to download these programs at once.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Jitu,

I would like to recommend the following steps, and coordinate with BASIS guy.

1. Put all programs you want to copy in a transport request, you may use SE01 -> create one TR -> insert objects, or any other method.

2. Release that Transport Request

3. In operating system, directory /usr/sap/trans/cofiles and /usr/sap/trans/data there will be a file which have same name with your TR number

4. Copy those files to the target system

5. Ask BASIS guy to run the following command, using <SID>adm sequentially, and change the parameter as necessary

a. tp addtobuffer SM2K9ZZ07L S88 pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_S88.PFL

b. tp import SM2K9ZZ07L S88 client=300 pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_S88.PFL

Your program will be available in the target system, if you found error such as objects is left behind, you can transport it again using the same method.

Please remember that ABAP program is client-independent, so the transport will replace program in ALL Clients.

Hope this help.

Thanks

Hello,

You can make Transport of copys of all your abap programs and then import them back by copying the data and cofiles from OS level and then add to your source system buffer and import them.

Hope that helps.

Hi Jittu,

You have to do the Client Export & Import ( for ABAP program )

Hello Ajitabh,

You can try SAPLINK to export and import your programs.

Following is the link for the same:

Hi,

you should do the below steps:

Go to transaction SCC8 and select the profile client with profile SAP_EXPC (Customizing Including Cross-Client Customizing)

After successful export that files are stored in DATA & COFILES under TRANS directory then ran for Import scc7 of Target client which finished successfully. Now you can get the ABAP Program & Object, Texts in the target client.

In Remote Client copy will possible for Customizing Request.

For you wanna one by one program please see the link,

If any other doubts Please Let me know

Hi Shadowdancer,

Thanks for your reply.

I have released the TR but i am not able to see the files in Cofiles and Data Folder.

I am confused now.

Can you tell me the exact way?

[Former Member]

Hi Jitu,

When I release transport request: D11K901187

The following files appear:

/usr/sap/trans/data/R901187.D11

/usr/sap/trans/cofiles/K901187.D11

The name is not exactly same though.

Can you find the files?

Thanks

Go to STMS transaction -> Systems -> Double-click on your system name

Then, under TRANSPORT TOOL tab, you can see a parameter named: TRANSDIR

Probably, transport directory can be different from usual /usr/sap/trans
