Transporting BPC 10 from Development to Production

Question

Hi all,
I am working on a BPC 10 project and it is time for us to test in production.
I am aware of two main routes to go from a Dev to Prod system, the first of which I attempted yesterday:
1. BW Transport
- Set the environment offline
- Log in to BW
- Transaction code RSA1
- Transport Connection
- Object types > More types > Environment > Select Objects ([see link|http://i39.tinypic.com/2wrpun6.png])
- We did select quiiiite a lot of data to transport which may have been an issue - everything in the environment
- Ticked all the objects on the right hand side, then clicked the van saying 'Transport Objects'
- We then logged into SE 10 and released the transport: ([see link|http://i44.tinypic.com/2gw9ir8.png])
2. Backup and Restore using UJBR transaction
- Back up the whole environment
- Restore onto production
The issue
- We have only done the first method as understand the UJBR one is a bit of a workaround and not as reliable
- We had an exceptionally high number of logs generated, causing the log drive to fill up and Short Dump in ST22
- It generated 8GB of logs on the Development server after the first attempt, we backed up and cleared out the logs and re-transported a new request which generated 45GB of logs - causing the same 'transactional log file' issue
Does anyone have any advice in terms of  BPC 10 transports? We found a decent how-to which essentially just walked us through part 1, then we've been checking ST22, SLG1 Analyse Application log, SM21 System log, and DB12 to check capacity to try and problem solve..
Thanks!
Nick

Hi Rich - thanks for your advice.
I've taken your advice on board and deselected virtually everything to transport, with the exception of the model, model dimensions and an input schedule.
This is the selection this time around: http://i44.tinypic.com/a4ahw7.png
I then clicked the'Transport objects' button and made a request for transport: [http://i43.tinypic.com/17x1fc.png|http://i43.tinypic.com/17x1fc.png]
Followed by jumping to Transprot Organiser in SE10 and then 'Releasing directly' when selecting the base node NWDK903388 first, followed by the same action on parent node 'Projet Dragon Transport 005': http://i44.tinypic.com/2i8kh95.png
When looking at the transport logs, it appears it has released from NWD (Development) but not imported into NWP (Prod): http://i44.tinypic.com/2q1xvdl.png
We aren't experiencing the same issue of logs at the moment so it suggests it was related to a high volume data manager file?
Any help would be much appreciated!

NB: I have also made sure that on our Production server we had the identically named environment which is something we didn't have before, whichI think we needed(?) I also checked I have superuser access account on both Dev and Production to ensure that wouldn't be a problem.
