Transfer customizing data between SAP System

Question

Hi to all!
How I can transfer PS customizing data between R/3 4.5B and R/3 4.7?
Thanks,

Hi,
Can I suggest a slightly more robust approach?  What Andreas is suggesting, is that in fact you should be able to transfer the customising data by doing a standard transport.  You can create a transport in your 4.5B system and then it can be physically copied (at the operating system level, for example FTP) to your 4.7 system and then imported.
I think that this is probably the right way to go, but you may have some troubles if the PS system has some changes in 4.7 (as the destination config tables may have different structures to the source tables).
The change I suggest from Andreas is start by using the IMG to generate the transport.  If you go to every area of customising that you wish to transfer to the 4.7 system and make a change (save to a change request) then change it back and save, you will make sure that you have every table required to be transferred in your change request.  You can then edit the change request (in SE09) and change the keys (by putting an *, rather than the specific data) to ensure you get all the data. 
I just feel that given the complexity of configuration tables (and the sheer number of them) it would flow smoother if generated the initial list via the IMG, rather than trying to figure them all out yourself.
After the change request has all the correct entries you will need to release it (to ensure that the object in Unix has all the data from the SAP system).  You can then FTP it to the 4.7 system and do an import of the change request (and cross your fingers that you don't get import errors due to config tables changing in 4.7).
Hope that helps,
Brad
