Downloading Z Programs

Former Member — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:34:36 GMT

Hai Friends,

I want a list of all Z programs that are in Production Server and also i want to download it for a back up.

how can i do this?.

How can we download mass programs?. Downloading one by one is a tedious process.

Kindly give me the steps to be followed.

Thanks.

Hi ,

Write a select query

select OBJ_NAME

from tadir

into table itab

where PGMID = 'R3TR'

and obj_name = 'Z%'.

go to SHDB , do recording for se38. i.e give the program , press change , click the exprot button , give the path.

put the perform statement within loop at itab and endloop. Here you make sure that you are giving the different file name during each iteration.

Hope this helps.

Use the report program REPTRAN (SE38) to download a program..Enter 'Z*' in the program name to download all programs.

Create a transport of copies, including all objects from packages beginning with Z (and Y, if necessary). Then release the transport.

This will download all the programs into transport files on the application server, will make sure you have ALL the required objects, and allow you to load them into another system quite easily.

If you are wanting to have reference copies of your own programs, the quickest and simplest way is to print to spool, and then save the list as a file. But you then run the risk of not having all the objects required - data dictionary elements, function modules etc.
