Function Module and transporting it

[Former Member]

Hi SDN,

In our BW ABAP code, I find a lot of duplication of logic and a reusable function module would cut down the code size significantly. I have a book to guide me to create a function module. Can someone point to some info regarding transporting it?

Will the system prompt for transport request for each essential item?

Or alternatively what all objects would have to be gathered?

Thanks.

Saf.

hi Safdar,

create a transport request and add this line:

R3TR FUGR name_of_function_group

this will take everything: screens, text symbols, whatever else. Of course if other Z objects are used in the function group, than you have to transport those as well (if they are not in the target system.

(transport the whole function group, not just the individual FM, to avoid problems!)

hope this helps

Hi,

When you create a FM, it will ask for transport request and package. Select the transport which is assigned to you or else create your own transport request if you have authorization to create.

Thanks,

Of course the system will add any object modfied to your transport request. So you will have the function group with its module in it and every obejct changed to use the nuew function module.
