Exporting a transport package

Hi,
when we export a transport package, an epa file is created and stored in the folder as per settings in the PCD configuration start up file. But then, where can we find details about all the objects i.e. iviews, pages, worksets, roles etc that are a part of the package ?
In ABAP, all the details pertainig to a request can be found in tables like e070, e071 etc. Are there any tables where these details get stored which can be accessed using SQL for JAVA?
Thanks.

Thanks Pravesh and Detlev.
I created a transport package, included an iview into it and exported the same, I downloaded the .EPA file and went through the structure of it. The .EPA file has a EPT file for the transport package, EPT file for the iview that i included in the transport package, an xml file called package.xml (which has contents as below at the end of this message) and a manifest.mf file.
The package.xml file has the details of the objets that were a part of the package. My question is, is this the only place we can find these details or are there any java tables where they get stored (similar to abap e070 and e071 tables) ??

HI,
I think that Package file donu2019t have any Portal Content. We have to Export the portal Content .epa file structure and import that .epa into another portal Server. Donu2019t Save .zip file
Please follow these Steps
How to Export Package from Portal Component
1.Go to System Administrator-Transport-Transport Package-Click on ExportPortal ContentGo to our Folder (SapExample)-RC-NEW-Click on Transport Package
Here create one Transport Package.
Transport Package Name: Pack1
Transport Package ID: PackID1
Next--FINISH-Select Open object for editing---- OK
iView/Page/Work Set/Role/Folder/-RCClick on Add Object to Transport Package-Click on Export button
Here Change File Name: Pack1.epa-----Click on Start Export Button.
Now you will see that Pack1.epa file created or not
Go this Path D:\usr\sap\System ID\Instance Name\global\pcd\Export
Here Pack1.epa File Available.
Or you can download from portal also. When you are export that .epa file click on Start Export Button after one download link available. So we can download here also.
How to Import to Portal Component
2. Go to System Administrator--Transport Package--Click on IMPORT
Select Source for Package Files: Client
Browse the Pack1.epa file--And click on Upload--Click on Import button.
Please Look at this wiki:[Export/Import|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EP/TransportingPortalContent]
Hope this helps!!

Cannot export a transport package to a network file share

I created a network file share (T) on my Portal DEV server.
I created a transport package, and when trying to export it, I get the error below:
[com.sapportals.portal.transport.app.TransportApplicationImpl]exportList: failed to create destination directory T:\
any ideas what is wrong?

Hi
While configuring the pcdStartup.properties file please be aware that networkshares need a configuration with additional "\" as they are interpered as excape character...
So for example:
C:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\pcd/Import
Becomes:
C:\\usr\\sap\\<SID>\\SYS\\global\\pcd/Import
Good Luck...

Iview not selected in the transport package during the export

Hello Expert,
I created a transport package to send the change I made on the iview com.sap.portal.masthead to QA system.
I added correctly the iview to the transport package but when I clicked on the button EXPORT to create the epa file, I found that the iview was not selected.
My change canu2019t be send to QA system.
Any idea how to fix this issue?
Thanks a lot.

Khaled,
You can not transport a standard content as it can overwrite the old version and create a new version of the content.
Refer the below link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/26/edee3da7138e5be10000000a114084/content.htm
You can copy a the existing iView , change the id and transport the same. Use the changed iView everywhere instead of the standard ones in this case.

Portal content Transport Packages Export/Import Question.

Hi,everyone:
I have a problem when Export packages of portal content,the epa-file is correct on the server however become error after download from the server to localhost.
The bug is Function of Download itself,if anyone have meet this case and help me. I need your help!
Regard!
Fish

Hi Ree,
As I mentioned in my previous reply it is working perfectly for me. The import is creating the required files in the PCD.
Let me explain how it is done.
Create a TP
Create a folder and add the required files(Workset,pages, iviews etc) to the the folder.
add the folder with all the contents(select 'Add all objects to transport package' from the content menu) to the TP.
Export the TP. give a name of your choice(removing the numbers)
Download it to the local machine using the dowmload link.
the file will be saved as a <i>TPName</i>.epa in your local drive.
in import, select 'client' for Source for Package Files.
brose and select the <i>TPName</i>.epa file.
upload the file, and you can see the contents.
then import it to the new environment. Now the complete folder stucture will be created in the PCD exactly as you created it for the TP.
I hope you are doing like this. It should work
Are yo able to open the downloaded file with WinZip?
cheers
Kiran

IView is removed from transport package when exporting

Hi all,
I have created a transport package containing one iView. However, when I hit the export button it is removed from the package. I have tried adding other objects and they are not removed, but the iView always is.
The iView is a copy of the standard detailed navigation iView.
Has anyone seen this before?
Kind regards,
Hilco

Hilco,
change the prefix/id. there's a filter in the export method NOT to export/transport sap standard objects.

Error while importing Transport Package ?

Hi,
I have created a Transport Package which includes the following things :
1. Two folders
2. Two iViews
3. one .par file
I am trying to Import the above package by choosing the option 'Source for package file - client' and then browsing where my .epa file is placed.
When i click the Upload Button I am getting the following error -
'Error extracting the package file. Check the log file for details'
What can be reason for this error?
Regards,
Vikas Khandpur

Hi Vikas
It is not generally advised to Package a .PAR file into a .EPA file. Because a .PAR file may depend on parts that are not included in the .EPA file which might cause incosistent transports.
You can directly upload a .PAR file into the Portal. Just go to System Administration -> Support -> Portal Runtime -> Administration Console and upolad the .PAR file.
Try removing the .PAR file from the Transport Package and download the exported .EPA file. Import this new file and see if it works this time.
Hope that helped
Best Regards
Priya

Hi Experts,
I have created a seperate role for Transport Package(import/export iviews).
Normally we have transport package functionality in system admin.
Below steps i followed for creating the new role(trans admin)
1.Copied SAP provided system admin role to a seperate folder.
2.Deleted reamining portal objects(like UWL, portal display etc ..) except transport packege workset.
3.Renamed the role to trans admin.
I have assigned that role to my self, it is working fine to me when i clcik on export and import.I have super admin role.
when i assign this role to some portal users, Export is not working.
when user clicks on Export role they are getting below error.
Portal Runtime Error

Transport package creation in EP7

Hi,
We have recently migrated from EP6 to EP7. While creating transport package in EP7, I found that the "include dependent" option is no more there in EP7. Can someone tell me how do we include dependent objects in EP7.
Thank you.

Mukesh

Mukesh,
In the Properties pull down list, select "Export Settings" and click "Resolve References" Radio button to Yes.
References Filter is used to "com.xxx.*"
Hope it helps.

Problem importing Transport package.

Hello,
I am importing WPC web content (Transport package) (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/46/77da3bb8036ef0e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm ). Transport Package doesn't show up in pending imports after Package upload. I repeated the package upload. Still its not showing under "Pending Imports"
Anything else has to be done while importing a transport package (wpc web content).
Thanks
Tony

I never had to enter object ID, when I was exporting. The only required property was the name of the package. I was following this document to export WPC Web Content http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/46/77da3bb8036ef0e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
When I exported, the file had a random name d03d399d-c6f6-2b10-12b1-c1a02f8f42c5.zip
Here is the summary of the logfile:

Should I change the name of the file to "com.<name>..." ?

Transport Package Error

When I try to transport content (iViews, pages, worksets, roles) from development server to Production server it fails and it give me the following message:
The unit does not exist in the Pcd. It may have been deleted or renamed. Restart the editor.
Please advise.

Hi Developer,
While creating your transport package give the same package name to all of your pcd objects,then try to export.
Hope it helps.

Content Adminsitration KM Content New Transport Package button is missi

Dear all,
We have splited standard portal role and now we want that these custom roles may be able to create new transport package for KM Content.
Unfortunately, it seems that only standard Content Admin role have access to the button.
Do you know if it is a permission issue?
I tried to change many permissions on Security zones for dedicated KMC componenets but it seems not to work.
Thank you for your help.

Hi, Team.
Here's some hints:
1. Investigate iView 'Export Templates' (
pcd:portal_content/administrator/super_admin/super_admin_role/com.sap.portal.content_administration/com.sap.portal.content_admin_ws/com.sap.km.AdminContent/com.sap.km.Export/com.sap.km.ExportTemplates/com.sap.km.ExportTemplates)
2. This is a simple KM Navigation iView that shows /~system/expimp/export/templates folder under 'ExpImpExportTemplates' Layout Set.
3. I think your new role has no write permissions for the KM folder /~system/expimp/export/templates.

Inluding java webdynpro apps into portal transport packages

Hi All,
Platform: EP7 SPS13, solaris, oracle DB
I would like to know how to include java webdynpro apps into portal transport packages.
I was reading documentation but I was not able to accomplish this.
I have modified Pcd.TransportApplication.Export.ExcludeSystemObjects = false
in pcdStartup.properties file.
Transport export includes all my java webdynpro iviews, and export property RESOLVE REFERENCES is set to true in order to setup dependences to be included.
After importing in QA portal, I can see my java webdynpro iviews, but no webdynpro application exists and iviews won't work.
Any idea will be appreciated.
Regards.

Hi Claudio Roca ,
You ca nmove web dynpro applications to different landscapes in two ways
1) In NWDS u need to set Message server Port and server port of Quality or production depending on ur requirement
In NWDS ..In Menu you can find
Windows->perferenece there u need to do settings
and u need to deploy ur webynpro application
2) you can deploy .ear file in Visual Admingoto Visual Admin there u can find deployment button click it and deploy ur .ear file
Please reward points if it is helpful
Thanks
