Unit 7: Working with the Transport System ADM100
Figure 74: Import
With the import of single requests, you select and then import a single
change request in the queue.
With the import of all requests in the import queue, all requests are
imported in the sequence in which they were exported; that is, in the order
in which they are in the import queue. The import steps are performed
successively for all of the requests.
In the SAP System, the transport administrator starts imports using
transaction STMS by displaying the import queue (Overview → Imports),
selects the system into which he or she wants to import, and then choosing
Import Queue → Display. After you have decided on an import strategy,
start the import either by choosing either the Import all requests button,
or Import request.
Technically, the operating system executable program tp is used for the
export and import. The import always uses the data files that were
generated and stored in the central transport directory /usr/sap/trans
during the export.
Demonstrate the import of the transport requests that you created and
released during the lesson. Follow the procedure in the text. You may
want to explain the settings at the start of the import.
