[Former Member]

If your CTS, CMS are not working and if we have some urgent pending transport we can choose one option of transport which is manual. Our ID and IR objects can easily be transported by using this method but we may have dependency on our basis team if we go for this option and if we have access to server directories then it become simple to us .

So here are the steps that we need to follow to complete this task.

Step 1:

Go to your namespace whose objects you want to export.

Step 2;

Select the Mode as ‘Transport Using File System’

Step 3:

Click Continue

Step 4:

Select ‘Object Set’ as per your requirement.

Step 5:

Take an example of Individual Objects and go to middle icon of ? to select the required object.

Step 6:

All kind of repository objects are shown for manual selection, select the required one.

Step 7:

For one or e.g. we have selected one mapping.

Step 8:

One selected it will be shown like this, just click ‘Finish’

Step 9:

After Clicking on finish you will get details of the file.  Note down the Export Path and Filename from the window.

Step 10:

Go to the Export path location of you PI server from where you want to Transport the Objects like Dev. E:\usr\sap\,Dev PI server name>\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\export

Step 11:

Locate you file and place to target PI server IMPORT directory. E:\usr\sap\<Quality Server name>\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\import

Step 12:

Now go to your QA PI server and Go to ‘Tools’ -> Import design objects

Step 13:

The file will be visible if you have placed it right, you just need to click OK to get it imported.
