Transporting ESR Content using the File System 

Use

The ES Builder provides the file system as a simple tool for the transport of ESR content (Enterprise Services Repository Content). You can choose between two alternatives when importing and exporting:

●      Server:
The export file is saved in a server directory and the import file is loaded from a server directory.

●      Client:
The export file is saved in a directory on your local PC and the import file is loaded from a directory on your local PC. This option is suitable for smaller transports, for example, objects in local software component versions.

SAP recommends that you import using the server directory option. A packaged binary file is created in a directory defined on the repository server. To import this file to another ES repository, you must manually copy it to an import directory (see below). You require the appropriate authorizations to be able to access directories on the SAP NetWeaver AS.

Prerequisites

Read the information about versioning under ESR Content Transports.

Procedure

Transport the ESR contents either by using the directories on the server or the client.
