Instructions for successful transport of Glue objects

  1. Create a standard SAP transport on a source system SE01

  2. Collect Glue objects for deletion to transport via transaction /DVD/GLTR

  3. Release transport with standard SAP procedure (transaction SE01)

  4. Import transport to target via standard SAP procedure (transaction STMS)

  5. Import transport via Glue Transport Management (transaction /DVD/GLTR)

Step 1: Create a standard transport on a source system

Step 2: Collect Glue objects to transport

Go to Glue Transport Management through the transaction /DVD/GLTR.

Check the Deletion transport checkbox.

If a user wants to add objects that have not been deleted yet to the deletion transport, check List also saved objects. This will list deleted as well as existing objects.

You can filter the objects by:

  • Package

  • User name – a user who created the object

  • Select objects by type – using this option, you'll need to specify the type of Glue objects. The following objects are supported: Glue Table, InfoProvider, Extractor, Extractor 2.0 object, Variant, Glue Business Objects, and Glue Queues.

After clicking execute the list will show deleted objects on the system.

After clicking execute, the user can select objects to be added to deletion transport.

Variants and extractors that are part of the package without an assigned transport layer (e.g. $TMP package), cannot be added to a transport.

Select objects which you want to delete on the target system.

Click Execute.

For adding objects to transport, select the Request number of the transport you want to use.

Step 3: Release transport with standard SAP procedure (SE01)

Release the transport with the standard SAP procedure.

If the storage on the source system has a different Storage ID as on the target system or you want to use different storage on the target system, you must set up the mapping of storages. This step is necessary before the import of transport. For more information, see the section Storage mapping functionality. 

Step 4: Import transport to target via standard SAP procedure (transaction STMS)

Step 5: Import transport via Glue Transport Management (transaction /DVD/GLTR)

Import the transport on a target system

Go to the Glue Transport Management, click Import request and select the Request ID you want to import.

Confirm the popup with the Request ID of the transport.

Choose execution type.

After the import of objects is done a window is displayed with logs for deletion transport.
