Import XPRA program does not work - does not exist

[Former Member]

Hey experts,

I am trying to import a XPRA program first time and it does not work for me.

I did the following steps:

1. Created a simple program YOCT_XPRA

2. Created a workbench transport request

3. Include some objects into the TR

4. And include my YOCT_XPRA program to the transport request with

ID: R3TR

Type: XPRA

Name: YOCT_XPRA

5. I release my TR

In the target system I wanted to import(STMS) that TR, but it fails with error:

Program YOCT_XPRA does not exist

Errors occured executing report YOCT_XPRA

I searched all over the internet and everywhere was just these few steps for this.

Please help me. It seems that if I include the YOCT_XPRA as type XPRA it includes an non existing program.

Regards,
Robert

The first time you must also transport the actual program (R3TR PROG) not only tits execution trigger (R3TR XPRA)

Yes, this was the problem thank you. Nobody mentioned it elsewhere.

Hi Robert,

See this thread: 

It looks to me that you have to create a program as normal (and therefore add it to an transport request) and then ALSO add another entry in the transport request with your program name and type XPRA.

it looks to me the original program is not in the request (type REPS/PROG)

The program will be imported (Step: Import) before execution of XPRA program (Step: Method Execution)  but execued before activation (Step: Generation of Programs and Screens) but usually the implicit activation at start of execution is enough for a simple report and raise no problem.
