No, you'll have to follow up with another transport request containing the correct code.

Regarding your previous message about missing test data, there should be at least one test or QA system in your landscape with decent test data so you (or the testers) have a chance to catch problems before they hit production, otherwise something is wrong there.

Dear Thoms,

I agree with you but in some cases SD department has no much time to replicate same data in QA server. Thats why I was asking. There are many sales orders which I want to check. I have written a program and want to debug it with different sales orders.

I can not create requests for a single line change in the code.

It will be very helpful to test our ABAP programs by connecting the llive data.

I have not to update any table data but just to view the data in the smartforms.

Thanks and Regards,

Aneel

You work in Best Effort, and in real you loose more time to run after the bug than list them, reproduce them ..

We do the same job, we arealdy work like that and we know it's really a bad idea

Why not create a QA system as a copy of production, then, instead of testing in production? And why can't you create a new transport request for a change to the ABAP code?

I can create requests. I will ask to basis to create a copy of prod to the dev.

Thanks to all for help.

Aneel,

It is not recommended to overwrite your DEV system, as all of your change history, both in the form of transports as well as the version history for ABAP programs and DDIC objects, are stored there. It is far better to have a separate QAS system, which you can then overwrite with a PRD copy if that fits your testing strategy. Your basis team/person will likely resist overwriting your DEV system, and rightly so.

Regards,

Matt

Dear Matt,

Thanks for your reply. The point to note that history will be remove. This is very important I agree with you.
