- 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. - To install the Function Modules in the SAP system, you must import the transports into the SAP system.
Select the appropriate transport zip file(s) below, and copy them to the target SAP application server:
SAP Basis Release Zip Files 4.6C, 4.6D, 6.x non-Unicode Precise_Transports_Basic.zip
Precise_Transports_46c.zip
4.6C, 4.6D, 6.x Unicode Precise_Transports_Basic.zip
Precise_Transports_46c_Unicode.zip
7.x Precise_Transports_Basic.zip
Precise_Transports_700.zip
BW 7.x Precise_Transports_Basic.zip
Precise_Transports_700.zip
Precise_for_SAP_BI_7.0_Transport.zip
- 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). 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.
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 documentation.
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:Component Zip Files For SAP Basis Release The/PRECISE/namespace Precise_Transports_Basic.zip All The Z_PRECISE authorization Profile Precise_Transports_46c.zip

- 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:
- Go to SE80 > Function Group > /PRECISE/ZLSC.
- Right click on the Function Group > Other Functions > Rebuild Object List.
- 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 on page 244.

Precise for SAP is designed to run unattended, with little system overhead. Because Precise for SAP automatically connects to SAP, it is recommended to create an SAP account that is solely dedicated for the Precise for SAP connection.
...
SAP user ID with the Authorization Role Z_PRECISE for SAP Basis 7.x, or with the Authorization Profile Z_PRECISE, for SAP Basis lower than 7. The Authorization Role and the Authorization Profile are delivered in separate transports and include the minimum authorizations needed for Precise for SAP to work correctly.
Info For a list of the required minimum authorizations, see SAP User authorizations on page 244.
