Importing the Replicate transports into the SAP system

There are two types of files required to import the ABAP objects into the SAP system: the data-file and the co-file.

Importing the data-file

The data-file begins with an "R"

The data-file should be placed in the /usr/sap/trans/data file system or in the directory of the server where the transports are stored.

• Typically this is a shared directory, but if not, individually place the file into that directory location for all SAP host servers.
• This file must be accessible by all systems where the Replicate for SAP Client is to be installed.
• Set the permissions on the file to All for the user, Read and Execute for the group, and Read and Execute for others.
• The owner of the file should be the <sid>adm user of the system to be installed. The group ownership should be sapsys.

Importing the co-file

The co-file begins with a "K"

The co-file should be placed in the /usr/sap/trans/cofiles file system or in the directory of the server where the transports are stored.

• Typically this is a shared directory, but if not, individually place the file into that directory location for all SAP host servers.
• This file must be accessible by all systems where the Replicate for SAP Client is to be installed.
• Set the permissions on the file to All for the user, Read and Execute for the group, and Read and Execute for others.
• The owner of the file should be the <sid>adm user of the system to be installed. The group ownership should be sapsys.

Once the files are in the correct location, import the transport into the system using either the Operating System level transport tools (TP), or the Transport Management System (TMS) internally within SAP.
