Create Domains , Data Elements and Tables using ABAP Program

Former Member — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 21:00:34 GMT

I have a requirement to copy all the tables in one SAP system to another SAP system. I can not use the SAP transport mechanism to achieive this. These two systems are not connected to each other.

I would like to know whether I can write a program to download all the domains, data elements and tables from one system as a file format and upload the same in the other system.

For example we can use the FM DDIF_TABL_PUT to create a table and FM DDIF_DOMA_PUT to create domain in SAP using ABAP program.

But i need to know how to download the required data from the first system in proper format which i can use in the second system to upload using program and create tables and domains.

Or is there any other method by which i can acheive the requirement.

Thanks, Ansari

Muhammed,

Even you don't have a transport route between those systems you could pack all your objects in a transport, export it from source system and then import into target one. I understand this import/export task is more Basis related but you could try yourself. If you google it you will find a couple of discussions about, e.g.: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3216239

Thanks Edgar for the reply. But we can not use the transport mechanism here.

Since first system is a client system we need approval from them to move the data. Since we can not get that approval we need to create everything from scratch in the new system.

That's why i need to whether we can write a program to download and then upload.

Okay, now I see... Found a custom utility for TR export/import but it also needs TR to be released. Just in case, follows the link: http://it.toolbox.com/wiki/index.php/Upload_and_download_SAP_transport_request

Technically using good old transactions like CG3Y/CG3Z you can copy the data and cofile files related to transport orders (AL11 check DIR_TRANS, look like /usr/sap/trans, cofile ASC, data BIN) between two systems not connected then use STMS to add the request to import queue of target system

Since first system is a client system we need approval from them to move the data. Since we can not get that approval we need to create everything from scratch in the new system.

But is it legal, if you developed it for a customer, who is the owner of the code in your country ?
