System Preparation
System Health Check: Ensure the SAP system is running without critical errors (e.g., failed
jobs, locked users, short dumps).

Client Cleanup: Minimize the size of the export by archiving or deleting unnecessary data
from the database and reducing client size where possible.

User Locking: Lock all non-essential users to prevent system changes during the export.

2. System Maintenance
Update SAP Kernel: Ensure the kernel is up to date and compatible with the export process.

Apply Necessary Patches: Install the latest SAP Support Packages and Notes related to
Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM) and database tools.

prerequisites against the PAM.

4. Backup and Recovery


System Backup: Take a full system backup, including the database, profiles, and custom files.
Export Backup: Prepare disk space to store the export files, and ensure redundancy in case
of failure.

5. Parameter and Profile Adjustments


System Profiles: Check and adjust profile parameters (e.g., rdisp/wp_no_btc, memory
parameters) for optimal performance during the export.
Export Directory: Ensure the file system has adequate space and permissions to store the
export files.

Database Tools: Install and configure database-specific tools (e.g., BR*Tools for Oracle) for
export.
Export Parameters: Prepare export parameters such as SID, database schema, and target
system details.

7. Communication and Downtime Planning


Stakeholder Communication: Inform stakeholders about the planned downtime during the
export.
Downtime Window: Schedule sufficient downtime for the export process, considering the
system size and complexity.
8. Test the Export Process (Optional but Recommended)
Perform a trial export in a test or sandbox environment to identify potential issues before
running the process on the production system.
