Transports Script
tp commands can be used to create a UNIX script so that mass activities, such as adding
hundreds and thousands of transports to the target SAP system buffer and importing them,
can be done automatically. This will save a lot of time and minimize the errors in execution
of the commands as well. The following is a sample UNIX script (go.sh) for adding trans-
ports to the buffer and importing them into the target QAS system. The script can be created
in the /usr/sap/trans/bin directory of the target SAP system.
The list of transports to be executed by the script should be entered in the list.txt file, and
the file can be in the same directory as the script. A sample list.txt file is provided here:
Now execute the script by issuing
./go.sh
with the user account qasadm, which will add
the previous nine transports to the QAS transport buffer and import them one at a time.
It is also useful to check and see if the tp is able to connect to the database by issuing the
following command before executing the script. The command should give a return code of
0.
