Very basic doubt regarding transporting abap developments

Former Member — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 10:17:51 GMT

Hi All,

It may be very basic doubt, But I need an answer.

If we develop some objects in the development and transported them to quality and for some reason some errors occured and the for correction of the errors we created some more requests and ported them to Quality.

the number of requests are say more than 15. and if we lost track of sequece of the requests to be ported to production.

How can we overcome this problem?

Can we create a new transport request by right clicking the package (of course all the objects are in only one package) , this will solve the purpose. I mean to say if we transport this single request to quality then to production, all the things will get transported?

Please give your valuable inputs..

Thanks and Regards

HI Krishna,

You can merge ur all requests in one requests and then transport that one, by this way you will not losse any other request also.

Thanks

Hi.. you can always... use version management and check..

UTILITIES->VERSIONs->VERSION Management..

The latest Transport would be on top.. so you can verify from here.....

Hi,

Theres absolutely no need to create one more request.

SAP has a very well defined version-management system in place.

All the request you have transported will be available to you in the version managenet.

Go inside the object and follow the path Menu option Utilities->Version->Version Mang.

There you can find all requests for that particular object

Else you can look into table E071 for the transport requests for an objects.

You can create a report using this table giving all request nos for a particular object.

Hope this helps,

Rajat

Hi All,

I really appreciate all your quick replys.

My question is if we create a new request from the package in SE80, can we leave the old requests,

That is if I transport a request say req 2 of domain for solving the dependency error of the previous request say req1 ( of data element ). and again transport req 1 after transporting req 2, this will solve the dependency problem. Like this if some dependency related issues are there and we lose track of sequence of request which needs to be transported, what could be the ideal solution?

So I mean to ask that if I create a new request for the package in SE80, will all the developments will be included in the request or do we need to follow the sequence only?

Thanks and regards

Hi KK,

see the scenario u have told u can send the Req2 first as the Req1 has error of missing data element or domain which u made in Req2 .

But as far as my experience goes you should always send all the requests whether it is 1 or 100 .

See according to the principle od SAP all the systems should be in sync so incase you make one request of many requests firslt the systems will never be in sync seconly

there is a gr8 possibility that u might miss something thirdly the client can question you that why these requests have not been send to PRD?

So I suggest to move every request you make to PRD and in the same sequence as they were sent to Quality or Pre-Prod servers .

Thanks

ok. So that is the question!!!

so if you will create a request to Xport entire package, then active versions

of all objects ( in DEV ) will move on to QA and subsequently to PROD, overwriting

everything in QA and PROD.

So if you are sure that versions of ur objects is same throughout, then you can go ahead.

It is not a good idea to generate a request for all objects in a package as there may be some objects which have never been transported to PROD.

Try sending your latest request. If it gives you an error of missing objects then generate a new request for the missing objects.

Ask your basis to group all such requests while transporting and then you will not face th errors if all objects have been included in the various requests.

Revert if you have any doubt.
