SE78 is a transaction code in SAP ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) that allows you to transport graphics, such as logos, pictures, or icons, between different SAP systems. Graphics can be transported using the SAP Transport Management System (TMS), which ensures the consistency and integrity of the data during the transportation process. In this guide, I will explain how to transport graphics from SE78 in SAP ERP. Here’s a step-by-step process (How to transport graphics from SE78?)
Access the SE78 transaction: Launch your SAP GUI (Graphical User Interface) and log in to your SAP system using your credentials. Once logged in, navigate to the transaction code SE78 by entering it in the command field or through the SAP Easy Access menu.
Select the graphic to be transported: In the SE78 transaction, you will see a list of available graphics. Identify the graphic that you want to transport by searching or browsing through the list. The graphics are usually categorized based on their purpose or usage.
Check the graphic attributes: Once you have identified the graphic, select it and click on the “Attributes” button. This will display the details and settings for the selected graphic, including the graphic type, file format, size, and other relevant information. Make sure that the graphic is in the desired format and meets the requirements for transportation.
Create a transport request: To transport the graphic, you need to create a transport request. This request will bundle the graphic along with any associated objects and configurations required for its proper functioning. Click on the “Create Transport Request” button in the SE78 transaction screen.
Enter the transport request details: In the transport request creation screen, enter the necessary details, such as the target system, the transport request number, and a brief description of the transport. It is recommended to use a descriptive and meaningful name for the transport request to easily identify it later.
Assign the graphic to the transport request: Once the transport request is created, assign the graphic to the request. In the SE78 transaction screen, click on the “Assign to Request” button and select the previously created transport request from the list. Confirm the assignment to include the graphic in the transport request.
Release the transport request: Before you can transport the graphic, the transport request needs to be released. To release the request, navigate to the SAP Transport Management System (TMS) using transaction code SE01 or SE10. Find your transport request in the TMS and select it. Then, click on the “Release” button to release the request for transportation.
Import the transport request in the target system: Once the transport request is released, the graphic and associated objects can be imported into the target system. Log in to the target system, access the TMS, and import the transport request using transaction code STMS_IMPORT. Select the appropriate target system, transport request, and start the import process.
Confirm the import and check the graphic: After the import process is complete, check the target system to ensure that the graphic has been successfully transported. Use transaction code SE78 in the target system to verify the presence and correctness of the graphic. You can also check the graphic’s attributes to make sure they match the source system.
Test the graphic functionality: Once the graphic is imported, test its functionality in the target system. Ensure that the graphic is displayed correctly and behaves as expected in the relevant SAP transactions or applications that utilize it. Test the graphic across different scenarios to ensure its proper functioning.
Document the transport: It is essential to maintain proper documentation of the transported graphics. Record the transport request details, including the source system, target system, transport request number, and any other relevant information. This documentation will be useful for future reference and troubleshooting.
Communicate the transport completion: Notify the relevant stakeholders, such as SAP administrators, developers, or business users, about the successful transport of the graphics. Inform them about the availability of the graphic in the target system and any necessary instructions or guidelines related to its usage.
By following these steps, you should be able to transport graphics from SE78 in SAP ERP. Remember to adhere to your organization’s specific transport procedures and guidelines, as they may vary depending on your SAP landscape and system configuration.
