Transport Layer and Objects

[#1]

what is the relation between the objects of a transport request and the layers in a transport domain?

Dear Abhishek,

First of all a I have to explain packet:

Packet
---------
A packet groups Objects of the Development. Any report or table or data element … belongs to a packet. So every repository element is connected with a packet.

Transport route
-------------------
A transport route describes the direction a transport can be transported. For example if you want to transport a transport from development to a test system, you have to configure in TMS a transport rout from development to the test system.

Transport layer
--------------------
A transport layer connects packets to transport routes.

The connection between packet, transport route and transport layer is:

Objects of Development (Programs or Reports or Tables …) <-> packets <-> transport layer <-> transport route <-> systems

If you develop a report in development system and want this report to be transported to the test system you need:

-to connect the report with a packet.
-to connect this packet with a transport layer
-to connect this transport layer to the transport route that is connected to the both system and describes the direction FROM(development system) TO(test system)

For an exact description see:

Thank you for the reply,Willi

I have one more question to ask.

Are the packets defined for every layer available in the route?If yes, then how it is done?

Hi Abhishek,

when you use transaction STMS to implement your transport landscape you can connect your development system with your test or production system (depends on your needs). This connection is done by the transport route of type consolidation. There the transportlayer is connected. You can connect one transport layer to one transport rout, but you are able to connect several transport routes to the same systems. That's the way to connect several transport layers to same systems.

Hi Abhishek,

The ABAP Workbench allows you to distribute the development work for large projects over several SAP Systems that are connected by the SAP transport system. This is achieved by grouping together the development classes of each development system in a transport layer.

Each development system in the SAP transport group is assigned a transport layer as a standard transport layer.

Objects - any changes or customization done in SAP will be transported in the form of transport objects between the systems in your landscape.
