Introduction:-

This blog is useful  consultants/Admins/functional folks who can't  not have access to operating system to transfer cofiles and data files

This blog describes detailed steps “How to upload and download cofiles/data files directly from SAP” pretty useful. You don’t need to have access to OS.

How to Do:  Download and upload Co-files/Data files (Transports) directly from SAP

  1. Standard directory for cofiles in SAP - /usr/sap/trans/cofiles/K<number>.SID. This path may be different for you. Please check right path with parameter DIR_TRANS using t-code AL11


In our case DIR_TRANS = /usr/sap/trans

     


 

Make sure that co-files and data files are available on Application servers. Please note that in case transport is not released data and co-files won’t be available.

T-code al11 -> double click on DIR_TRANS

 

Navigate to /usr/sap/trans/cofiles directory and look for file you wanted to download


Similarly navigate to /usr/sap/trans/data directory and look for a file you wanted to download


2.    Download co- files from SAP using t-code CG3Y to local directory

Cofile naming convention – K<number>.SID

Upload data and cofiles to Application servers

Upload cofiles

  2. Extras -> Other Requests -> Add



Transport request should be in the format SID<K><number>


Click on continue (blue square)

 

Transport is added to buffer and ready to be imported.
