BAPI/API/Function to import transports

Former Member — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 09:03:04 GMT

We are looking at importing transports into our Prod system programmatically. In short:

1. User log on to Prod (customer transaction)

2. Read and accepts the consequences of transporting to prod

3. Transport is then imported to the prod client without admin intervention.

Is there a ABAP function or Bapi to import the transport?

At this stage testing will already have been done in our QA system.

Hi John

Please check if Function Group: SCTS_RELEASE can help you.

Though i have never tried the same...

Kind Regards

Sadly Eswar it does mostly releasing of transports.

However your input was very valuable in that I got onto a function group called SCTS_API and a function called CTS_API_IMPORT_CHANGE_REQUEST.

Is this maybe the right function?

Is it safe to use?

It looks easy enough to use but on the few times that I tried it I got errors.

I did get it to work once, but with a transport that already exist in the client, in this instance it behaved very much like transaction STMS.

Thank you for the trouble so far.
