Importing the Transports via TMS
Starting from R/3 version 4.0, SAP allows importing transports through the SAP system via transaction code STMS.
Security authorization in the SAP system must include proper access to import the transport request.
- Sign-on to SAP system with a User ID that contains proper authority.
- Execute transaction
STMS
. - Select the Transport (Truck) icon from the toolbar.
- Select the desired system for import.
-
Add the Transport to the import queue by selecting Extras > Other Requests > Add.
Add the transport request number to the proper import queue and execute. Re-authentication of the user's SAP User ID is likely in order to complete the step.
If an Information message is received that the "Transport request is invalid", check that the transport number was typed correctly. Otherwise, the message might indicate a problem with the files. Verification of existence, location, permissions, or ownership may be needed.
-
Import the Transport request by selecting the transport number from the queue, and clicking the Import toolbar button (which has a truck icon). Set the target client to either `000’ or any other valid client within the system.
-
Switch to the Options tab and make sure the following are selected:
- Ignore Non-Permitted Transport Type
- Ignore Non-Permitted Table Class
- Ignore Predecessor Relations
- Ignore Invalid Component Version
- Click the Import toolbar button. Once again, re-authentication of the SAP User ID may be necessary. The transport will execute in asynchronous mode; a record of success or failure can be found in the transport logs.
-
-
The system will return to the import queue screen, where the Transport results can be checked. Select the Logs icon from the toolbar, or follow the menu path:
Request > Display > Logs
Locate the source system and verify all relevant logs. For this transport there should be five logs:
- DD Import
- DD Activation
- Import
- Check Versions
- ABAP/scrn. Generation
All logs should display
Ended OK
(return code 0) orEnded with warning
(return code 4). If any logs are missing, or display a return code of 8 or higher, follow the instructions in step 6 to re-import the transport.
