Import the main installation transport

Prerequisites

  • You have downloaded and unpacked the ZIP installation package for Neptune DXP - SAP Edition from the Neptune DXP Portal.

Procedure

  1. Add the transport to the SAP Transport Management System.

    Since Neptune DXP - SAP Edition 6.X, Neptune maintains LTS release versions from multiple SAP systems with different system IDs. The file extensions of transport files correspond to the SAP system ID. Depending on the version you are about to import, the file extension will be different. For example:

    File extension LTS release version

    *.NAD

    Latest release

    *.N21

    LTS version 21.X

    *.N22

    LTS version 22.X

    *.N23

    LTS version 23.X

    *.N24

    LTS version 24.X

  2. Find the path to the SAP transport directory. Use the SAP transaction AL11. In most systems the transport directory is: /usr/sap/trans.

  3. Upload the NADK9xxxxx transport files that contain the cofile and data file to the SAP transport directory in one of the following ways:

    1. Use the Upload File dialog in the SAP transaction CG3Z.

      Upload cofile K90xxxx.NAD

      upload co file

      Upload data file R90xxxx.NAD

      upload data file

    2. Run the function module ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER in the SAP transaction SE37

      function module archivfile

    3. Move the files at the OS level

  4. Start the SAP transaction STMS and open the import queue to your system.

    open import queue

  5. Double-click your target system.

    double click target system

  6. Go to Extras → Other Requests → Add.

    Result: The Add Transport Request to Import Queue dialog opens.

  7. Add the transport request NADK9xxxxx to the import queue by locating it in the STMS transport list, and import the transport.

    add transport request to import queue
    add transport request confirmation

  8. Select the Import Request icon.

    Result: The Import Transport Request dialog opens.

  9. In Target Client, specify the target client where you are running Neptune.

    If you are using more than one client, remember to run the /NEPTUNE/INSTALLATION_CHECK program in each client after the transport has been completed.

  10. In the Options tab, select the checkbox Ignore Predecessor Relations and start the import.

    In previous versions of SAP, the checkbox was called Ignore Invalid Component Version.
    ignore predecessor relations

    Result: The import of the transport starts. Depending on your system, the import runtime varies between 15 and 60 minutes. You can monitor the progress of the import by selecting the row and selecting the Import Monitor icon.

Results

  • If the import was completed successfully, the Import Monitor displays the following screen:
