Hi Experts,

Q1. What is a transport request and their types?

Q2. What is a released transport and a modified transport?

Q3. What is a workbench transport and a customizing transport?

Hi,

1) transport request are used to transfer

object between servers Ex dev->Qa->Prd

2) Objects can be transported only if they are

released

4) A batch programs is scheduled to migrate all

the released objects to target server.

A Transport Req, will track the changes done to the objects assigned to that by all the users.

we have 2 types

1. customizing transport req

if we are customizing( settings to the R/3 system,etc..) comes under this.

2. workbench transport req

all ABAP related, means programs,screens,transactions.scripts,smartforms etc.. comes under this.

hi,

<b>Transport</b>

A transport means the process of moving something from one place to another. In R/3 system this ‘something’ means change request. To transport the objects you need to create the change request. It can be done with the help of workbench organizer. Transport System and workbench organizer are closely linked to each other.

An object original is a development object that has been created in the system in which you are working.

Suppose you transport object Zsus001 to another system, Zsus001 is object original for system DD1. If anyone tries to modify the program, he will be making repair to it, provided he has access key for the same. R/3 system offers this security measure to ensure that development object remain consistent for all system, thus preventing parallel work on the same objects. Correction of objects and development of objects can be only in original system.

The difference between Repair and Correction is as follows:

• If you modify an object in a system in which it is created, you are making Correction to it.

• If you modify an object in a system in which it was not created, then you are making Repair task.

Releasing Tasks and Request

When new development or correction is complete, developer must release their task and request.

To release a task:

• Find a task from the Workbench initial screen.

• Position the cursor over the task.

• Click on the release button

A request is released by either system Administrator or Project Managers, once all the tasks are released

1)Its a method to move Client Dependent objects from one client system to another there r 2 type of transport requests a)Customizing b)Workbench

2)Modifiable Trsport requ are those to which one can still attach objects(they r modifiable)

and Realeased means they are processed and obj attached to them r already transported to its destination.

3)Workbench req r for Developers to modify development objects and Customizing req r for functional ppl for configurations and settings

4)When we say transporting its just means the object has copied from one (client) system to another

reward if Helpful

Q4. If we say, we are transporting from one server to another, what exactly is happening underline technically?

To mean technically, the older version of the object is getting replaced in the target system with the new object.
