Question : How to transport from uses from one client to another? Answers:

First export the objects for transport from the table AQLDB to the transport table AQTDB. This creates a transport request for the transport system that includes all entries created by theexport from table AQTDB (transport dataset). The request covers all the entries from table AQTDB (transport dataset) generated by the export and has a name which corresponds to transport system conventions (sysKnnnnnn). In the table AQTDB, the transport dataset is stored under a key which matches the name of the transport request. If you are transporting within one SAP system (that is only from one client to another), you can also import the transport dataset from the target client. In this case, you use the name of the transport request which is specified during the export and matches the key of the transport dataset in the table AQTDB. During this import, the system reads the transport dataset from the transport table AQTDB into the table AQLDB. At the same time, it performs numerous checks which ensure that no inconsistencies occur in the table AQLDB.

first ralease or export the object on target system. now login parent clients and hit T.code- stms -> import overview now add the request from extra-> other requests->add select the request and click the import the request now fill the client no. and then continue...
