Backup Programs,tables,domains,....

Former Member — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 10:59:02 GMT

Hi All,

Here is my query.

Basically i need to take back up of objects seperately/as a req.

I have saved my objects(tables , domain, data element, programs...) in my request.

Is there any way like to take back of full Request (as binary file) or individual objects seperately?

if so how?

i think there must be a way....

Thx in Advance...

YOU MUST HAVE ACCESS TO THE FILE SYSTEM OF THE SAP SERVER. Then follow the steps below:

1. You must release the request. Remember the request number.

2. Go at the SAP server in the installation directory of SAP. (in Windows environment for example it will be: F:\usr\sap)

3. Go into directory "trans". In this directory you should have 2 subdirectories : "cofiles" and "data"

4. Go into "cofiles" and find files for your request. The name will be Kxxxxxx.YYY . Where xxxxxx is the number of you request, and YYY is the SAP name of your system (for ex. DEV). Copy the file(s).

5. Go into "data" and find files for your request. The name will be Rxxxxxx.YYY . Where xxxxxx is the number of you request, and YYY is the SAP name of your system (for ex. DEV). Copy the file(s).

That's all.

Next time you need to import the request on another server just go into the same directories, paste the files, and from SAP , start transaction STMS, go to Other-> Add request, add your number of your request and import it.

That's all.

Please reward points if I helped you,

That was a good solution howerver i could not see any file in .... Should i configure anything else in STMS. i have only one machine(development).

3. Go into directory "trans". In this directory you should have 2 subdirectories : "cofiles" and "data"

4. Go into "cofiles" and find files for your request. The name will be Kxxxxxx.YYY . Where xxxxxx is the number of you request, and YYY is the SAP name of your system (for ex. DEV). Copy the file(s).

5. Go into "data" and find files for your request. The name will be Rxxxxxx.YYY . Where xxxxxx is the number of you request, and YYY is the SAP name of your system (for ex. DEV). Copy the file(s).
