Performing Imports Using the Import Queue Web UILocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

For more information concerning the prerequisites for specific use cases, see Import Queue Web UI - Use Cases.

  • You have activated the services for the Import Queue Web UI on the system which acts as communication system for the non-ABAP system, or on the ABAP system itself, if you want to import ABAP transports requests.

    For more information, see Activating Services for Import Queue Web UI.

  • You have the authorization to perform imports.

    For more information, see Import Queue Web UI - Authorizations.

Context

After you release a transport, the objects in the transport are exported and stored in the transport directory. At the same time, the transport is marked for import into the target system by being placed in the import queue of the target system. After the export log has been checked, the developer's or project manager's work is initially finished. The transports are placed according to the transport routes in the import queues of the consolidation systems (for example, in the test system). After having performed quality assurance tests, the subsequent import into the target system is generally performed by the transport administration.

The Import Queue Web UI is a web-based user interface that allows you to perform imports of ABAP and non-ABAP transports. It provides the most commonly used functions of the classical SAP GUI import queue in Transport Management System (TMS). Moreover, it offers import checks for ABAP and non-ABAP transports to check for potential downgrades and predecessors in the import queue. The Import History gives you an overview of transports that were already imported in the system and the results of the import.

The Import Queue Web UI can be used in parallel to the classical SAP GUI import queue. For more information on the classical import queue, see Performing Transports.

Procedure

  1. Start the Import Queue Web UI.

    The Import Queue Web UI is provided for importing ABAP and non-ABAP transports.

    For more information, see Starting the Import Queue Web UI.

  2. Display the relevant import queue and change it, if necessary.

    You can display import queues of all systems in the transport domain. Changing the import queue can include tasks such as adding transports to the queue or deleting transports from the queue, closing or opening the queue, as well as forwarding transports to other systems.

    For more information, see Import Queue Web UI - Displaying and Changing the Import Queue.

  3. Perform the Import Checks.

    If you want to import individual transports you can check that the transports that you want to import in the target system do not have object overlaps with other transports in the import queue or with already imported transports.

    For more information, see Import Queue Web UI - Performing Import Checks.

  4. Import transports.

    You can import all transports in the import queue at the same time, or import individual transports.

    For more information, see Import Queue Web UI - Importing Transports.

  5. Check the transport logs.

    After performing the import, check the transport logs and test that the import was completed without errors. The import history enables you to check the results of any import at any time.

    For more information, see Import Queue Web UI - Using the Import History Web UI.
