General
In order to take advantage of the functionality of the AE interface, function modules must be transported to the SAP system.
Function modules are developed as ABAP development objects. These components are supplied with the "Correction & Transport System" package of the SAP System:
- KNNNNNN.SID nformation file, for example K000043.EC2
- RNNNNNN.SID data file, for example R000043.EC2
- ENNNNNN.txt export protocol, for example E000043.txt
Name ranges are transported along with function modules in separate transport requests. A list of all currently valid transport requests is found in the file TRANSPRT.TXT. All transports must take place when a new installation is made. With an update installation, it is only the function modules (AE interface) because there is no change of the name ranges.
Throughout this document, the following codes are used:
- NNNNNN for the transport job number of the delivery system and
- SID for the system names of the delivery system.
File Names
SAP can be installed in various environments (UNIX, Windows...). Therefore, it is important to consider the specific features of the system when you name the files.
In this document, the file names that refer to a SAP environment are written in UNIX language ("/"). For Windows environments, the names are the same with the exception that they use a "\" character.
Importing Function Modules in SAP
If the functionality of the AE interface is used, function modules must be transported to the SAP system.
Requirements:
The transport system must be properly installed and set. This takes place during the installation of the SAP system.
Procedure:
Import the supplied transport files to the SAP transport environment:
- On the SAP computer:
- Change to the appropriate subdirectory (for the SAP version) in IMAGE:Agents\sap\_trans:
- Copy the files from there to the following directory:
KNNNNNN.SID to /usr/sap/trans/cofiles
RNNNNNN.SID to /usr/sap/trans/data
Importing the delivery into the SAP system:
- Use the SAP GUI to log on to client 000 with an SAP admin user.
- Go to transaction stms and open the Import Overview.
- Open the queue for the SAP system.
- Select Extras – Other Requests – Add.
- Enter the name of the transport request and click ok.
- Select Import Request and switch to the Options tab.
- Select “Ignore Invalid Component Version” and start the import.
The return code RC should not be higher than 4 (Warnings occurred).
