Transport a Software Component Between Two ABAP Instances

Open Manage Software Components app on your first instance’s Fiori launchpad.

Press GO button to load all available software components.

Press + button to create a new software component.

Enter a Software Component Name and a Description and press Save.

You can use Z-, Y- or /DMO/-Name

Select your created software component and press Import. Click OK on Import popup.

Check the popup.

With selecting Import History you can view the current status of the import.

Open Eclipse and connect with your developer user to your first ABAP system and add your imported software component to your Favorite Packages.

Right-click on ZLOCAL and select New > ABAP Package.

Create an ABAP package in ZLOCAL.

• Name: Z_Package_XXX
• Description: My Package XXX

Click Next.

Click Next.

Click Finish.

Create ABAP objects in your software component (e.g. ABAP class). You can create a new transport task if asked, otherwise add your object to an existing one.

Release your transport request and its subtasks. Therefore, open view Transport Organizer.

Release all your subtasks by right click on it and select Release.

Afterwards release your transport request by right click on it and also select Release.

Hint: Your software component root package is a structure package, hence it’s not allowed to create objects directly in this package. You need to add an additional development package and then you’re able to add your objects.

Open Manage Software Components app on your second instance’s Fiori launchpad.

Press GO button to load all available software components.

Select your software component and press Import. This will either update the software component if it is already imported into the second system or import the software component if it is not present in the second system.
