If you want to use the definitions of individual monitors in other SAP systems, we recommend that you export them as an XML file and then import them. To do this, you must store the monitor definition in a file in XML format in the source system; this is then imported into the target system. This exchange is faster, as no SAP transports must be created. You can also distribute existing monitor definitions quickly over the Internet or a file server in XML format.

To transport a monitor set or a monitor definition, you must first activate the maintenance functions.

The transport of monitor sets uses the SAP transport mechanism.

2. Choose Extras ® Activate Maintenance Functions.
3. Choose the monitor set that you want to transport, and choose Transport Monitor Set ().
4. Enter a Workbench request with the desired target system.
