Composite Roles

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've tried searching through the forum, and could not find my answer, so hope this is okay to ask. I've recently started a new project, and they strictly use composite roles. We are on ECC 6. I notice when they change a role on Dev and move to Q and Production, they only modify the single role, and only that role in the transport, even though it is part of a composite. My experience with composites was that the composite needed to be moved as well, is this not true for ECC 6? I could not find info in the help, I've just observed my team mates(we work different states) moving single roles that are part of a composite, and wondered if ECC 6 allows this? This is my first project with composites,and what little I've worked with them, we had to do the complete(composite and single) set of roles. Any info would greatly be appreciated.

If only the contents of the single role and/or it's profile changes and not the assignment to the composite(s), there's no problem in just transporting the single. I can't remember doing otherwise and have never had problems with it.

Thank you so much for the speedy response.

Hi,

No need to transport the composite role unless you are doing some changes in the composite role..

The changes of the single roles will be reflected in the respective composite also. Fo this transport of composite role is not required..

Composite roles contain their own role menu. Supposing you didn't change the menu in the single there should be no reason to transport the composite.
