Import TR in dev

[manthana99c17]

Hi ,

I have all configuration logged in one transport request in DEV system.

Unfortunately, I lost all my configurations in same DEV.

can I use the same transport request to import back in same DEV again ? And what t.code to do pls?

thanks in advance.

[Dominik_Tylczynski]

Had you released the transport request before the configurations were lost?

[manthana99c17]

I just release after I found that my config lost.

This is the screen of my TR.

Pls advise

[Dominik_Tylczynski]

manthana99c You have released the customizing task only. You have not released the transport request itself. Therefore it contains only pointers to the configuration items, not their content. You can't use the transport request to restore the lost configuration.

[manthana99c17]

so what should I do to restore the Config pls?

Hi Maria,

1. Have you transported the same request to subsequence systems( Qas & Prod systems)?

2. In the same request you can search in subsequence systems (QAS and Prod systems) if it is available you can copy those request co and data files in the developement system and reimport the same

1. Have you transported the same request to subsequence systems( Qas & Prod systems)?

>>>Never

2. In the same request you can search in subsequence systems (QAS and Prod systems) if it is available you can copy those request co and data files in the developement system and reimport the same

>>Pls advise how to search and reimport pls.

This is my current TR status

[RaymondGiuseppi]

You could have reimported the parameters if the request had been released before the loss (what?) of Customizing, the request and not its task(s)

I just check the thread you sent but I not sure how to do.

i remember that there is one simple t.code that just TR number and transport.

Pls advise more simple steps.

Thanks in advance

[Dominik_Tylczynski]

manthana99c You need to restore the configuration manually.

[manthana99c17]

So any possibilities to restore my Config back pls ?

[Sandra_Rossi]

So... Raymond asked you if you have released the request before the loss or not, please reply and you'll obtain the adequate answer.

Thank you.

Hi,

if the request has not yet been released (as it looks like in the above screenshot), it cannot be imported. And since the recorded entries are gone, releasing wont help.

I would try taking a look into the change documents of the customizing tables.

BR,
Holm

You can import a not released transport request if you have release the task, using a Transport Of Copies

[RaymondGiuseppi]

But you will transport the current version from database - same effect than releasing now the TR, so importing such a transport of copies to the system where it's crurrently being created, won't help much?

[holm]

No, it won't. It would change exactly nothing.

[Sandra_Rossi]

frdric.girod I don't get it. Releasing a task doesn't write anything to anywhere (except copying its object list to its parent transport request). Consequently, a Transport of Copies is useless here. Please answer, because your comment has confused Maria again. 😉

[FredericGirod]

I reply to the sentence "if the transport has not yet been released, it cannot be imported".

I don't propose an answer

The only solution, were if there was a local copy to another client (SCC1)

[RaymondGiuseppi]

To be clear, you cannot restore your lost Customizing if it hasn't been saved in a released request.

At best, you may find some values, but only keys, in the task (browes E071K).😢

[Sandra_Rossi]

Sorry, I just see Holm answer, so you have not released the TR, so it doesn't contain the data (only the keys), the data was deleted from the table, so you can only redo the configuration manually, or possibly restore by asking the administrators what can be restored, but usually it's too much work for the administrators so it ends by redoing manually. Possibly the SCU3 logging of tables was activated (see table + system options), ask the administrators or ABAP developers.

If I released TR now. Can I restore the TR in dev again?

[jmodaal]

Hello,

releasing the TR will cause storing the data in the data file, specified by the entries in the TR. If you release the TR now, it will contain the data as it is now - and not before losing the data hours or days ago. If you import the TR again you will have the same data as at the time you released it.

Kind regards

Jan

As many have said: your configuration was NOT saved in this transport. It does NOT help you to release and reimport it. You have two options now: 1. Restore the customizing manually. 2. Do a database restore (if available) to a point where the configuration was still there, release the transport (not only the task, but also the request) and then, if there was important work done after the loss, restore to the actual point.

Hi Frederic:

After I created transport of copies already.
then how can I import in same DEV system pls.

many thanks in ad

[RaymondGiuseppi]

You can try analyzing the DBTABLOG table of table modifications with a report such as RSTBHIST (SCU3) if this logging is active in the source client (rec/client parameter) to reapply your modifications manually. (you should find a list (partial, some customizations use more complex methods) of tables to analyze in E071K for your previous query/task)
