To install Precise for SAP Function Modules in the SAP system

  1. SAP Function Modules are packed in SAP transports, located in the Precise v9.6 download or on the DVD. The transports can be found in the \Utilities\SAP\ folder. Alternatively, you can download the transport files separately from the Precise Customer Portal. For further details, contact Precise Customer Support.
  2. To install the Function Modules in the SAP system, you must import the transports into the SAP system.
  3. Select the appropriate transport zip file(s) below, and copy them to the target SAP application server:

    4.6C, 4.6D, 6.x non-Unicode

    Precise_Transports_Basic.zip

    Precise_Transports_46c.zip

    BW 7.x

    Precise_Transports_Basic.zip

    Precise_Transports_700.zip

    Precise_for_SAP_BI_7.0_Transport.zip

  4. Copy the transport ZIP files into the transport folder of the SAP system (usually /usr/sap/trans for Linux/UNIX systems or \\<SAP_hostname>\sapmnt\trans for Windows systems).
  5. Use a program such as unzip or WinZIP (on Windows) to unpack the K and R files into the corresponding subfolder. The K files (e.g. K900059.PS2) should be extracted to the cofiles subfolder (/usr/sap/trans/cofiles). The R files (e.g. R900059.PS2) to the data subfolder (/usr/sap/trans/data).

    Info

    Verify that the read-only attribute is removed from the copied transport files. Otherwise, the import to the SAP system may fail.

  6. Use the SAP Transport Management System (transaction STMS) or the operating system executable program tp to import the required transport. For information about the Transport Management System and the tp program, see SAP transports description. Each of the zip files folders contains a readme.txt file with instruction on the order in which Transports should be imported to the SAP system.
    The Transports contain SAP objects as described below:

    For a more detailed description of the Transports, see SAP transports description.

  7. After the import has completed and in case a previous version of Precise Function Modules was installed in the system, you must rebuild the Function Group object list, by performing the following steps:
    1. Go to SE80 > Function Group > /PRECISE/ZLSC.
    2. Right click on the Function Group > Other Functions > Rebuild Object List.
  8. When connecting to SAP, verify that all the authorizations in the Z_PRECISE Profile (for Basis 4.6C to 6.40) or in the Z_PRECISE Role (SAP Basis 7.x) have been added to the SAP user.
    For more information on the authorizations, see SAP User authorizations.
