Question

system copy : how to backup your rfc connections, partner profiles (we20) amd ports in IDOC processing (we21) ???
Hi forum,
if you want to copy your production system to your quality assurance system you can export users and later on reimport
it to save work. That's good.
But how about RFC connections, partner profiles and ports in IDOC processing ? Anyway to export and reimport it later on ?
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards

Hi forum,
in the meantime I found out how to handle this matter. May be this solution is not very elegant, but it works.
As for RFC-Connections there are several tables beginning with rfc. e.g., rfccheck. But 4 of it only differ from one system
to the next. These are rfcdes, rfcdoc, rfcattrib and rfccheck. What I did is the following : I used
brspace -u sapsr3/<password> -f tbexport -t "RFC3"
and quite simply exported these tables. Then I deleted some of the RFC-Connections, both ABAP and TCP/IP. After reimporting
what I exported before all these destinations were availlable again. As for ABAP the password had to be reentered but this
can be avoided, too. Have a look at transaction /nsecstore. The tables behind it are RSECTAB and RSECACTB, rspectively.
Export it after having exported the rfc* tables and reimport it after having reimported the rfc* tables. Very important : enable
the option "consistent export" !!!
It worked this way although there might be better and more elegant solutions.
As for transaction we20 check sap not 182172.
Hope that I could be of profit to this forum.

p.s.
import command : brspace -u sapsr3/<password> -f tbimport.
Them select what you exported before.
