Deploy SAP iMaintenance Roles Using Transports

Innovapptive provides pre-delivered transport requests containing the required iMaintenance roles. Importing these transports ensures consistent role configuration across ECC, S/4HANA, or Gateway systems.

To deploy roles using transports:

  1. Prepare the transport files

    • Extract the archive (.zip or .rar) received from Innovapptive.

    • Locate the files:

      • Co-files (start with K9*) → copy to /usr/sap/trans/cofiles

      • Data files (start with R9*) → copy to /usr/sap/trans/data

  2. Import the roles using STMS
    1. Log in to the target SAP system (ECC, S/4HANA, or Gateway).
    2. Open transaction STMS_Import.
    3. In the Import Queue, choose Extras > Other Requests > Add.
    4. Enter the transport number and confirm.
    5. Select the transport request and click the Truck icon to start the import.
    6. Enter the target client number.
    7. Select the following options:

      • Leave Transport Request in Queue for Later Import

      • Ignore Invalid Component Version

    8. Confirm to begin the import process.
  3. Verify the imported roles

    • After import, confirm the roles are available in PFCG.

    • In SU01, assign the roles to the iMaintenance technical user or other required users.

  4. Update S_SERVICE authorizations
    1. Open transaction SE16/SE16N/SE11.
    2. Enter the table name USOBHASH.
    3. Use the following search parameters:
      Object Type Object Name
      IWSG or IWSV /INVICL/ICWP_INTEGRATION_SUITE_SRV_0001
    4. From the results, copy the hashed service names (30-character alphanumeric values).
    5. Add these values to the user’s S_SERVICE authorization object (field: SRV_NAME).
