  • Key Concepts: 
    Main import is a process in the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) that imports a transport request from the transport directory into the target system. It is the final step in the transport process and is used to move objects from one system to another. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To perform a main import, you must first create a transport request in the source system. This request contains all of the objects that you want to move to the target system. Once the request is created, you can use the CTS to export it from the source system and then import it into the target system. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When performing a main import, it is important to ensure that all of the objects in the transport request are compatible with the target system. If there are any incompatibilities, they must be resolved before the main import can be completed. Additionally, it is important to check that all of the objects have been imported correctly before making any changes in the target system.
