R3trans usage

tp calls internally the command R3trans which does the real work. Normally, there is not much need in using R3trans directly. The typical use is copying data between clients where the SAP client copy does not work. Cases are big tables and variants for reports.

R3trans has a couple of options that are useful, even if you do not want to copy some data. The syntax of R3trans is:

R3trans [options] [control file]

Valid options are:

• -u unconditional mode concatenate options.

• -v verbose

• -w filename writes the log of the import into the file filename. Default is trans.log.
