Importing ABAP/4 function modules into SAP

How to generate, activate and commit new ABAP/4 modules to a SAP system.

About this task

This section describes the procedure to generate, activate, and commit new ABAP/4 function modules to your SAP system and several new internal tables. You do not modify any existing SAP system objects. For information about the supported SAP R/3 releases, see the System Requirements Document at Product Requirements.

The number of ABAP/4 modules that you install with the import process varies from release to release. The modules are installed in the methods directory and have the following file names and format:

K9000xx.TV1 (function modules for standard jobs scheduling extensions)
K9007xx.TV1 (function modules for IDoc monitoring and job throttling)

where x is a digit generated by the SAP system. The methods directory is located in:

On UNIX operating systems: TWA_home/TWS/methods
On Windows operating systems: TWA_home\TWS\methods

Before importing the ABAP/4 function modules, review the considerations documented in Migrating from previous versions.

To import ABAP/4 function modules into SAP:

Procedure

Change to the following directory:
```
cd /usr/sap/trans/bin
```
Add the transport file to the buffer:
```
tp addtobuffer transport sid
```
where:
transport

The transport request file.

sid

The SAP system ID.

For example, if the transport file in the <TWA_home>\methods directory is named K9000xxx.TV1, the transport request is tv1K9000xxx.
Run the tp tst command to test the import:
```
tp tst transport sid
```
After running this command, examine the log files in the /user/sap/trans/log directory for error messages. Warnings of severity level 4 are normal.

If there are errors, check with a person experienced in correction and transport, or try using unconditional modes to do the import.
Run the following command to import all the files in the buffer:
```
tp import transport sid
```
This command generates the new ABAP/4 modules and commits them to the SAP database. They automatically become active.
After running this command, examine the log files located in the /user/sap/trans/log directory for error messages. Warnings of severity level 4 are normal.
If a problem is encountered, use unconditional mode when running this step:
```
tp import transport sid U126
```

When the import is complete, check the log files located in the /usr/sap/trans/log directory to verify that the ABAP/4 modules were imported successfully.

If you apply the standard transport and the IDOC transport, 26 ABAP/4 modules are installed by the import process. For a list of the transport files to be used, refer to Importing ABAP/4 function modules into SAP. Table 1 lists the ABAP modules installed.

Table 2 shows the contents of the ABAP modules for the IDoc records and job throttling feature.

Table 2. ABAP/4 modules contents
Object	Description	Used by...
/IBMTWS/	Type = Development Namespace. For HCL Workload Automation.	Internal use only
/IBMTWS/EQ_XAPPL	Type = Lock Object. Synchronizes the job throttler instances and job interception collector jobs that are running against the same SAP system.	Job throttling Job interception
/IBMTWS/GET_ XAPPL_REGISTRATION	Type = Function Module. It is used to query for existing external application registration data in table IBMTWS/XAPPL, for example the registration data of a job throttler instance or job interception collector.	Job throttling Job interception
/IBMTWS/MODIFY_JOB_CLASS	Type = Function Module. Modifies the job class of an intercepted job that is controlled by the job throttler. For details, see Step 3. Enabling job class inheritance.	Job throttling Job interception
/IBMTWS/REGISTER_XAPPL	Type = Function Module. Registers an external application, for example the job throttler.	Job throttling Job interception
