hi,

Change requests:- Changes to Repository and Customizing objects are recorded in change requests

Have a look at this

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/4b/b155e40c3e11d3959a00a0c930dcc1/frameset.htm

A request can have several taskx which may be assigned to several people working on the related objects.

You can have different kind of tasks like development, repair etc.

Tasks are not independent entity. They can not exist their own.

They can only exist as part of request only.

All the tasks should be released in order to the release the request.

Once you release the task, the locks of the objects are transferred to request level.

Hi Sharma

We use the change request to transport objects from one system to other sytem, like quality to production. When you create an object a change request is created and assign it to a package. then it will be transported to other system.

Hope you get some idea.

Change Request and transport request are used almost interchangeably. It is the grouping all the related objects tgat can be transported to another system.

Tasks are sub objects for a Transport Request.

A Package is like a big container to hold all the development objects.

To understand the difference between a TR and a Package, consider the following example.

When you first create a report program, all the related z tables, z structures, new function modules if any, etx are put into the same package. All these objects can be put into a Transport request. This TR can be transported to another system.

Now, if an additional requirement come to change this object, you need to create another TR which will now contain the changes made to this object.

Hi Nanjunda,

To transport the objects from development to the other server, we have to assign an object to a package.

And when you save the object, it asks for a request number so that you can transport that object with the help of that request number.

To transport an object, we have to go to the transaction se10, se09 or se01.

Reward points if helpful.
