Installation procedure of SmartExporter SAP® components

The SmartExporter SAP® components are stored in a separate namespace AUDIC, which is reserved for Audicon in SAP®, in order to avoid name clashes with products from other producers and their customer objects in the first place. This namespace is created and configured automatically on your system when installing the SmartExporter SAP® components.

 

Note:

Below you find the description of how to install the SmartExporter SAP® components using a transport request. In case you have already installed the SmartExporter SAP® components via the Add-On, please proceed with the configuration described in the “Authorizations” section.

 

The directory SmartExporter SAP Components/Transport/<SAP release> contains the following files (where xxxxx is the number of the transport request and YYY represents the delivery system):

1. K9xxxxx.YYY
2. R9xxxxx.YYY

The K9xxxxx.YYY file is the R3Trans Command file. The R9xxxxx.YYY file is the corresponding Data file. Data and Command file have to be transferred to the central transport directory of your destination system. (When using an FTP, please make sure to transfer the data in binary mode.)

Copy the K9xxxxx.YYY Command file to the /sapmnt/trans/cofiles directory and the R9xxxxx.YYY Data file to the /sapmnt/trans/data directory.

The specified paths for the transport directory /sapmnt/trans serve as an example and can be defined differently in your system (e.g. /usr/sap/trans) and have to be changed accordingly.

 

If you want to use the template for the logical export file as described in the “Function button Logical File" section, you can install the transport request K900043.AU6 from the "Transport\FILENAMECI" folder.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

File names have to remain upper case after their transfer. Please make sure that the file names are still upper case. You also have to remove the read-only attribute.

 

The import of the requests can be started by using the corresponding TMS functions.

1. Call the STMS transaction.
2. Select Import Overview .
3. Select the SAP® system for which you want to import the requests.

7. Select the imported request by highlighting it and click the Select Request +/- icon.

8. Click the Import Request icon to import the request.

   The transport requests are exported from client 800. In the following step enter the target client for the import to make sure that client-specific data you want to import is copied to the correct client.

   Due to the small size of the request you can import it by using the time setting Immediate and the execution setting Synchronous.

   In more recent versions of the SAP_BASIS component you have to set the Ignore Invalid Component Version checkbox in the Options tab because otherwise the import is not possible due to the different versions of the delivery system and your system.

9. Click Next to start the import.

10. Confirm your entries by clicking Yes.

    Depending on the settings the import will now be run synchronously in the dialog or asynchronously in the background.

11. Click the Logs icon to show the transport log of the request.

    You can ignore the "(4) Ended with Warning" messages for the import steps Import ABAP Dictionary Objects and ABAP Dictionary Activation.
