Creation date for a custom t-code

Former Member — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 07:06:21 GMT

It has been my understanding that in order to determine the date a custom t-code was promoted to production is to pull up table TADIR, enter the Object Type as 'TRAN' and the Object Name as Z* and once the data is displayed the "Created On" date column shows the date the t-code was promoted to production. Is this an accurate statement? If not, what does the "Created On" date mean? Is it the date the transport was created?

Hello Steve Hunt,

No!

The created date reflects the date on which it has been created in your Development system. The date on which the T-Code was created will be uniform across the systems.

Thank you for responding! It sounds like you are saying the "Created On" date field is the date when the custom t-code was created in a development environment. So my question remains how does one determine the date a custom t-code was promoted to production just like any other object? Do you have to determine the transport numbers attached to the z t-codes from table E071 and then copy those transport numbers as single values to table E070 and the date from this table is the date they were promoted to production?

Thanks for responding! If the "created on" date from TADIR represents the date the custom t-code was created in the development environment, what is the best way to determine the custom t-code was promoted to production? The only approach I know of is to input all of the custom t-codes from the TSTC table into table E071 by using object type TRAN which then tells you the transport numbers tied to each custom t-code and then input these transport numbers into table E070 which then provides the date the transport was promoted to production. Is there a quicker or easier way to determine the date a custom t-code was promoted to production?

Hello Steve Hunt,

Yes you are right!

This is one possible way of finding the date on which it is promoted to production.

Hi Satish, you stated "This is one possible way of finding the date on which it is promoted to production" which indicates there is another approach or method of finding the actual date a custom t-code was promoted to production. Can you provide the other method you appear to be referring to in your statement?

Hi Steve.

You might have taken the custom t-code via change request. you can refer the change request number and then check when you have released in Dev & imported in Qty & prod systems.
