Difference between R3TRANS and TP

Updated Jun 25, 2018

TP vs R3TRANS

Nature wise no difference both are tools included as part of kernel. Functionality wise they are different - R3trans is used for DB<>SAP connectivity and tp is used for transports. R3trans depends on OPS$ mechanism for the connectivity and TP depends on domain controller and subsequent profile of the same to do the transports.

TP - "The Transport Tool". This program coordinates the complete import and export of program and table changes made within the SAP system in order to transport them through the complete System Landscape. TP is a transport program and R3trans is a tool for transport. So here TP uses the R3trans for transport. TP means It is calls to R3Trans only. R3Trans is moving the transports.

R3trans - This is the tool, that does the real work for TP. TP controls the import and export of changes and R3Trans does them using scripts, that were generated from tp.

    TP is a transport tool used to control the import and export of program and table changes made within the SAP system in order to transport them and R3TRANS does them using scripts, that were generated from TP. 

    In short R3TRANS is the tool, that does the main work for TP  by initiating it to transport file from OS to DB and vice versa.

    TP controls the process and calls several tools, like R3TRANS but also e.g. DDIC-Activation.

    hello Shailesh

    R/3trans is the R/3 system transport program which can be used for transporting data between different SAP systems ,even when they dont belong to the same group. R3trans normally is not used directorly but called from the Tp controle program or by the R/3 upgrade. Tp is the basic tool for the transporting the request

    TP converts change request to transport request.

    tp means export the change request and import the transport request
