Types of Transport Requests
Types of Transport Requests
Use
Changes to Customizing settings are recorded in Customizing requests.
When you release the requests, the current status of the recorded settings is exported, and can then be
imported into the consolidation system and, if necessary, into subsequent delivery systems.
When you create Customizing requests, the transport target is automatically assigned the standard transport
layer by the R/3 System.
Definition
Workbench requests record changes made to ABAP Workbench objects.
There are local and transportable Workbench requests. (Local Workbench requests have the target system
<space>.)
The package of the object and the transport route settings in the Transport Management System determine
whether changes are recorded in a local or a transportable Workbench request.
Definition
Transports of copies allow you to transport (sub-)objects in an object list into any other SAP System you
want.
In contrast to Workbench or Customizing requests there is no automatic delivery into other systems for
transport of copies.
Select Relocations
There are three types of relocations:
Definition
Relocations of objects without a package change are transports with which you can move the original
location of the objects entered in the object list to the target system.
The objects still exist after these transports, and you can change them (in repairs). If objects were
transportable before the transport, they remain so, because the objects are still assigned to the same
packages and transport layers.
Use
Only complete transport objects can be entered in relocation transports.
The original system entry of the objects is changed in the source system at the time of export. Between the
export and import therefore, the objects are not entered as an "original" in any system.
As long as the relocation transport has not been imported, you can still cancel it. To do this, go to the
Organizer Tools and choose Requests/tasks -> Cancel relocation transport.
Note
Relocation transports can only be imported into their direct target system. Other systems are not
automatically supplied with the transport.
Select relocation of objects with package change
Definition
Relocations of objects with a package change are transports with which
Use
The package change means that you can automatically adjust the transport attributes of the objects to the
new development system. This means that you edit the objects immediately after they have been imported
into the target system.
Definition
Relocations of complete packages are transports with which you simultaneously
move the original location of all objects in a package to the target system
simultaneously assign the package to another transport layer.
Use
Changing the transport layer means that you can edit and transport the objects consistently in their new
original location without delay.
