Function documentationTransfer of Master and System Configuration Data Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can use this function to transfer master and system configuration data from a source site to one or more destination sites running on the same or different servers.

Note Note

Data transfer is supported only between sites of the same version of SAP ME. You cannot use this function to transfer data from 5.2 to 6.0.

End of the note.

Activities

  • You select data groups whose SAP ME objects you want to transfer in Configuration Data Transfer Export at your source site (see Configuration Data Transfer Export).

  • When you choose Export, the system generates a .zip file containing configuration and master data and allows you to save it to a specified location.

  • You import this file at your destination sites using Configuration Data Transfer Import (see Configuration Data Transfer Import).

    Note Note

    If a record already exists at the destination site, the system does not override it with the imported one. This applies to child records of many objects. For example, exporting users and user groups will not update the user group definitions if the user group already exists at the destination site. The USER_GROUP_MEMBER table (where the relationship between users and user groups is stored) is a child table of the USER_GROUP table (where the user group definition is located). In this case, you need to add the users to the group manually at the destination site.
