backing up custom objects in DEV client

Former Member — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 12:49:53 GMT

Basis will be refreshing the DEV client and I need to back up all my custom objects. For programs, I can download them onto my desktop as text files, but for other custom objects like tables and structures I am finding it a little cumbersome. Is there a way where I can download all custom objects associated with a program like from SE80.

Also lets not forget screens

And message classes

Also how can I backup function module and groups?

Just check the SAPLINK home page.

My suggestion will be create a single transport which contains all your custom objects (including screen, fm, fg, module pools messages) then basis can export your transport file (I think CO files) and after refresh they can reimport the transport into DEV

I would try to convince them not to do this. You not only lose development, but you also lose version mangement.

Another good reason not to do this.

Its not possible to convince Basis to do otherwise. Its part of the process here and they want me to back up all my files. Actually this is not exactly DEV. More like Sandbox. So I like the idea of moving Sandbox to DEV. I was hoping there would be some utilities out there that I can use

if it is a sandbox then you can go take the backup using SAPLINK , later you can upload them back.

Try to consider Rob's and Ars Views and take a wise decision.
