Transporting ESR Content and Objects of Integration Directory 

Use

Objects in the Enterprise Services Repository are referred to as design objects, while objects in the Integration Directory are referred to as configuration objects. The transport consists of an export from the source repository or source directory and an import to the target repository or target directory. These transports can be used as follows:

●      To copy design objects from one ES Repository to another ES Repository. The software component version must be the same in the source and target repository in this case. In this way, you provide the design objects of the ES Repository using export files. Importing ESR Content briefly describes how customers import this ESR content to their ES Repository.

●      To copy configuration objects from one Integration Directory to another Integration Directory. In this way, you can copy a test configuration to a productive landscape.

Prerequisites

You have set up a system landscape with several Integration Repositories and Integration Directories. The system landscape usually consists of development systems, consolidation systems and production systems.

The system terminates the process in certain cases with an error message when you import or transport large object sets. For more information about solving this problem, refer to SAP Note 1004684.

Procedure

...

       1.      On the basis of your system landscape consider a transport landscape with which you set out between which systems ESR content or configuration objects are to be transported.

       2.      Transport the ESR content.

       3.      Transporting configuration object.

More information: Transporting Configuration Objects of the Integration Directory

Objects in the Integration Directory reference objects in the ES Repository. We therefore recommend that you first transport the required ES Repository objects followed by the Integration Directory objects. The configuration is not complete if the Integration Directory references objects in the ES Repository that have not yet been imported. You can also import the missing objects into the ES Repository at a later date.
