Create Save for System Copy Transport Step by step

Purpose: Preserves logical system dependent objects for restoration in case of a system copy issue when a
logical source system is deleted or deactivated. BW will auto re-generate a lot, but not these objects.
1. Create on a development system like BWD, because the system is set as a development system in
SCC4 and can create and export transports, and will include all objects. A dummy can be used for
comparison if the system to be copied is production or test.
a. If creating on another system, like BW test (BWT) or production, you must first open the
system in
i. SE06 System Change option modifiable /BIC and /BI0
ii. SCC4 client settings set like in BW Development system (BWD)

iii. STMS in client 000 from BWD (domain controller)

1. Remove BWT from transport path
2. Setup new 2-system path BWT-BW? (BWS or virtual system). This creates a
ZOUO transport layer, allowing creation of non-local/not $TMP package
transports (see complex sample below)

2. Go to RSA1-Admin workbench, Transport Connection

a. Select Object Types
b. Set for Grouping-Save for system copy
c. Set for Start manual collection
d. Set for Display List
3. Drag and drop source system (select from select objects list and transfer selection) to collection
window, example SCEM, SC0CLNT575, DEVCLNT100, SAP_DEMO. I recommend only doing
one source system at a time for maximum flexibilityand because the R3 sources are very large.
a. Then execute collection Gather dependent objects
b. Select each category (mainly Transfer Rules, Transfer structure and InfoPackageswhatever
is selected. On each header, right click and select transfer all below
c. Validate that there are no objects in the $TMP development package (DevClass). If it is,
select the object and change package button to set to ZAWB. (Anything but $TMP (local))
d. NOTE- To reset transport connection, select anything on the left frame of the screen to
refresh

4. You are now ready to transportselect the truck icon to create

a. Call it Save for System Copy and the source system name
b. Go to SE09/SE10 and release it and tasks to the OS level
5. Cleanup reset STMS and distribute, reset SCC4 and SE06 on BW0/Source BW system
6. Verify RSA1- Tools mapping of source system names on target BW system (i.e. BWU) for source
system of transport (i.e. SC0CLNT575).
7. Verify RSA1- Modeling-Source system connection checks OK on target system
8. Manually import transport in STMS Import Queue, extras, other requests, Add (to buffer). Import
single with right click or partially loaded truck icon, select options as below:

9. LAST STEP Validate import logs and activated objects. If there is an error, ensure the link to the
new system is active, the RSA1-Tools-Mapping of source system names converts properly from say
DEVCLNT100 to TSTCLNT200 (correct frame of reference) and reimport.
