December 2012 1

1. Business Scenario The SAP NetWeaver Trial versions that are available on SCN are only licensed as is. Meaning that due to their license restrictions they cannot be upgraded or enhanced with new features of SAP NetWeaver Gateway 2.0 that are continually being enhanced.

2. Background Information Given that a SAP NetWeaver gateway service was created on one trial version, it might still be relevant when the new features of the next trial version is released. Rather than going about and recreating the service, this How-to guide will show you how to move what you have created to a newer release of the SAP NetWeaver Trial versions.

3. Prerequisites Although the procedures of this guide can be applied to practically any SAP NetWeaver instance, it is written explicitly for upgrading from the SAP NetWeaver Gateway 2.0 SP4 release on Linux to SAP NetWeaver Gateway 2.0 SP5 release.

A running instance of the SP4 release with access to the file system with user npladm (This user was created when you installed the Trial version and is the user that starts and stops the SAP NetWeaver instance.

A running instance of the SP5 release with access to the file system with user npladm.

You will be creating files that you need to move from the older system and placing on the newer system, so access from the machine to either a web based email system, or installing VMware tools to share USB drives for example.


December 2012 2

4. Step-by-Step Procedure For the first step, you will be moving all your objects that you require to a Transport, creating a Transport of Copies to be released that contains all the objects necessary to import the working service into the upgraded system. Then finally, importing that transports into the newer system and testing the service.

4.1 Saving the Objects to a transport ...
