Use this procedure to select the objects you want to upload from an ABAP-based system.

Prerequisites

You have met the prerequisites for uploading objects to the portal. For more information, see Uploading Objects to the Portal.

Procedure

...

       1.      Choose System Administration ® Transport ® Role Upload.

       2.      Choose a template (preconfigured list of objects and settings) or search for a set of objects to upload.

The template option is only available if you configured a list of template names for the role upload service. For more information, see Configuring the Role Upload Service.

○       To choose a template:

                                                  i.       Select a template from Load preconfigured object list and upload settings from template.

                                                ii.       Choose Load.

○       To search for objects to upload:

...

                                                  i.       Select a system from SAP System.

                                                ii.       Select an Object Type:

●    Roles

●    MiniApps (to Release 4.6C and from Release 4.6D)

●    Transactions

                                               iii.       Enter an ID for the search and choose Search.

Objects found in the back-end system appear in the list.

                                               iv.       Select an object and choose Add.

We recommend that you only upload objects from one system at a time. Upload objects in clear meaningful groups and not in overlarge random groups of objects.

The selected objects are included in the List of Objects for Upload with their Portal Content Directory (PCD) ID. The portal stores these object under this ID as soon as the system uploads them. By default, you can find the object ID from the back-end system at the end of the PCD ID. You can define how the object ID is uploaded when you define the upload settings in the next step.

The system does not always copy the complete object ID from the back-end system to the object ID of the PCD. The system cannot copy some characters from the back-end system, such colons (:),to the PCD ID. The system converts these characters to other characters in the portal.

       3.      Choose Next.
