SAP provides a transport control program (tp) for controlling release upgrades and transports among SAP systems. The transport control program :

Keeps track of transports.
Exports and imports objects in the correct order.
Ensures that imports into a target system are performed in the same order as the exports from the source system(s). (Processing of imports out of order can result in severe inconsistencies in the target system, which are difficult to diagnose.)
Enables you to perform exports and imports separately.

During an export, the objects to be transported are extracted from the database of the source system and stored in files of the operating system.

During the import, the objects are added to the database of the target system (according to the transport function recorded in the task).

Tip: For detailed technical background, navigate to http://help.sap.com (version 4.6C) and the menu path: SAP Library, Basis Components, Change and Transport System (BC-CTS), Transport Tools (BC-CTS-TLS), Transport Control Program tp. From here:

Users should proceed to the section entitled Preparing Operating System Users.
System administrators should proceed to the section entitled Preparing the SAP System.

Reference: Transport Data File Names

All data files are located in the transport directory data. The name of a data file consists of the name of the change request, and a code letter that distinguishes between data files generated by R3trans and those generated by application programs for application-specific development environment objects (ADOs):

R <6 digits>.<source system> R3trans
D <6 digits>.<source system> application programs

Reference: Change Request Information File

The change request information file contains information about a change request, including the transport type and the class of the objects to be transported. It also contains information about the steps required for the change request, exit codes, and the time of execution.

This information file is located in the cofiles directory. The name is derived from the name of the change request:

K <6 digits>.<source system>

Reference: SAP Reserved Names

The Adapter for SAP is compatible with the SAP Basis 4.6C version, the lowest certified level for the adapter. It reserves the following names:

Development class ZXXX
Function Group ZXXX and function module names with ZXXX*

where:

XXX: Represents the 3 characters that are set by a certified SAP administrator to uniquely identify the client-independent table object and function modules. Note that a conflict with an existing unique name may cause the transport to fail.

Example: Transporting a Request

This illustration uses the sample request K900022 on P46. You may use it as a template for transporting a request.

Complete the following tasks in the order appropriate for each SAP system.

Release the request from the sending system.
Goto /usr/sap/transport/cofiles and copy K900022.P46 to the target system cofile directory.
Goto /usr/sap/transport/data and copy R900022.P46 to the target system data directory.
To check the transport system status of your SAP system, enter the command
```
tp checkimpdp <sapsid>
```
where:

sapsid

Is the system ID. For example, P46, which is defined during the SAP system installation process.
Check the status of the tp import buffer with the command:
```
tp showbuffer <sapsid>
```
Tip: Several tp commands are used in this procedure. For detailed information about tp procedures and commands, refer to the SAP tp documentation at http://help.sap.com.
Clear the buffer using the command:
```
tp cleanbuffer <sapsid>
```
Check the status to make sure all items have been cleared using the command:
```
tp showbuffer <sapsid>
```
Add the transport using the command:
```
tp add tobuffer P46K900022 <sapsid>
```
Check that the transport has been added to the buffer using the command:
```
tp showbuffer <sapsid>
```
Import the transport using the command:
```
tp import P46K900022 <sapsid> u1
```
Note that you may need to add other options for override. For details, refer to the tp options documentation at http://help.sap.com.
Verify that the ZXXX development class has been imported and activated, as indicated on your system screens.
