Moving/Transporting programs from 46c to ECC6

yguan — Wed, 21 May 2008 13:04:58 GMT

Guys,

For our upgrade we will start with a ECC6 system from scratch. The questions are - is there a tool to transport ABAP programs/functions from 46C to ECC6? Or in your experience it is better to manually do a download from 46C then manually upload to ECC6?

Thanks for your input.

Yan Guan.

Hi Yan,

Please let me know why do you want to download/upload a program while upgrading.

Regards,

Soumya.

Soumya,

Sorry I didn't make myself clear - We will start with a brand new ECC system from scratch. Then functional folks will put in configuration manually. There will be no Z or Y ABAP programs in the new ECC system but we want to reuse some of the Z and Y programs from our existing 46C system. Is it recommended to transport Z and Y programs from 46C to ECC (can it be done)?

thanks,

Yan.

Hi Yan,

If you are upgrading an existing 46C system to ECC 6.0 then the Z and Y programs in the system will be there even after your upgrade.

We will start with a brand new ECC system from scratch

means you are creating a system for the first time as ECC 6.0 ?. Then if there is transport path between your 46C sytem and ECC 6.0 sytem, you can transport the objects. Otherwise go for download/upload option. But I think creating a transport path is the better option.

Soumya.

Thanks for your feedback Soumya. Yes we will create ECC 6 for the first time. What about custom developed workflow templates? Can these be transported from 46C to ECC 6 also?

thanks,

yan.

Transporting from 4.6c to ECC 6 will not work due to versions.

Better to have to use download and upload

Hi Yan,

I don't have an idea about the workflow templates.

Reward points if you find helpful.
