How to Transport Roles in SAP
In a basic three system SAP landscape, roles are first created inDevelopment System and then transported to Production system (aftertesting in Development and Quality systems). In this topic we w ill bediscussing about two points – (1) How to create a Role Transport and(2) How to Transport Roles in SAP.
Role Transport can be created via Tcode PFCG. For creating a roletransport, go to PFCG -> Utilities -> Mass Transport
Give all the role names in the “Selection of Roles” field. Based on therequirement, we may need to create role transport for one role or manyroles. Paste the role names (marked as 1 in the figure below) as shownin the figure below and execute (marked as 2 in the figure below):
You w ill get the below screen:
As we can see in the above figure, there are two check boxes. The second check box is for transporting generatedprofiles along w ith roles. This option should be selected since it is not a good practice to manually generate roles inquality and production systems. Click execute. We get the follow ing dialog box. Click the tick mark as shown below:

Next, we get a small dialog box called “Choose objects”. It asks to select the objects which can be used for transportingthe role – User Assignment and Personalization. We generally select only Personalization as it is not a good practice totransport the user assignment to Quality and Production systems. Select Personalization and click tick mark to proceed.The system prompts for a creating a Customizing Request as shown in the figure below. Since roles are client specificdata, the request type is Customizing Request.
Click on “Create Request” as shown in the above figure. We get a dialog box to Create Request as shown in the figurebelow:
Give the Short Description as shown above. We have given “<Ticket no>-Transport request for roles ZTEST_ROLE1,2,3″.Click on Save. System prompts w ith a dialog box for Customizing Request as shown below:
As shown in the figure above, the Request No w ill be of the format <SID>K9<5digit number>. For example-if thedevelopment system id is DEV. Then transport request w ill be something like DEVK9<5 digit number> where <5 digitnumber> means any 5 digit number. Every request w ill have a different 5 digit number and the number w ill keepincreasing w ith each new request. Click the Tick mark as shown above.
This process creates the transport request. Now lets see the procedure to release the transport from Developmentsystem so that it can be imported to Quality and later to Production.
For releasing a transport request, we can use either of the three tcodes – SE01, SE09 or SE10. Lets execute SE10tcode. We get the follow ing screen:

Since roles are client specific data, the transport request for roles would be “Customizing Requests”. And since we havejust created the role transport, Request Status (as shown in the figure above) w ill be “Modifiable”. Click on DisplayButton. We get the follow ing screen:
We can see the transport request which we just created in the figure above. Every transport request has at least onetask. For releasing the transport request, first of all, all the accompanying tasks are released. This is done by selectingthe task and clicking on the truck shaped Transport Button as shown above. Once all the tasks have been released, weneed to release the Request.
This process completes the Role transport creation process and release of transport request. The import of transportrequest is a BASIS task and should be handled by a BASIS Administrator.
We are still giving an overview of how this process can be handled in case BASIS and Security both are being handled bythe same administrator.
Follow follow ing procedures for importing requests to another system :
Login to the target system where the request needs to be imported. As a normal practice, requests are transportedfirst to Quality System (QAS) from Development System (DEV). So for importing the changes made in Development toQuality, login to Quality (QAS) system.Execute tcode STMS. This takes to “Transport Management System” Screen.Click on the “Truck” icon (at the extreme left) or press F5 (Import Overview).This screen (Import Overview screen) shows Number of import queues in the system. Select the system (QAS here)from the queue and click “specs” icon (Display Import Queue) or press F8.This screen shows the list of all requests. Select the request which need to be imported and click on the Grey coloredtruck icon (Import Request) or press F8.It w ill pop up a dialog w indow. Select the necessary options from the w indow and click the Tick Mark. Import w illbegin.
