Object transport

[Former Member]

Hi,

Why do we want to move an object developed in Development server to quality server and production server.

What is the purpose for doing so?

Thanks & Regards

Hi...

Development server is used for Development. Either Development/Golden Client is used for Configuration. Then all the developments and configuration data is transported Quality Server where you would test the configuration with test data. You would transport the same to Production if everything is right.

You will transport from DEV to QA and then QA to PROD. You will not transport from QA to DEV.

For your clarification you will not change any thing in QA. You will make the changes in DEV and transport them to QA. QA is only for testing.

Regarding two movement types - one is incoming and other one is outgoing.

For more information about the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS), visit the following link:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/57/38ddff4eb711d182bf0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

Transport Request is generated in following scenarios:

1. Customizing Request - When doing or changing some customization.

2. WorkBench Request - When configuration is cross-client. Eg Generating new Table, making changes in access sequence, Abap development, etc.

Transport request is not generated for Master Data. For eg: Customer Master, Material Master, price master, etc.

Benefit of Transport Request:

SAP Landscape normally has 3- Tier system:

Development Server - Where customization takes place. Transport request is generated at this level & then first transported to Quality server for testing whether it meets the requirement or not. Once the requirement is met in Quality server then Request is transported from Development Server to Production Server (Actual / Live System)

Quality Server - Mainly useful for testing.

Production Server Actual / Live server, where the real transactions are created & posted.

Procedure to Release & Transport Request:

1. In development server, go to T.Code: SE10 & select the check box Modifiable & enter

2. In the next screen, you will see list of transport request created.

Note: Transport request consist of main request along with sub request. These sub request hold the object to be transported.

3. Expand the main request & you will be able to view the sub requests attached to main request.

4. First release the sub requests.

Note: To release the request, select the request ni & click on release request individually (Do not select release all request)

5. Next release main request.

6. Once the request is released sucessfully, imform the basis person to import the request to QA server.

or

If the authority is with you, through T.Code: STMS, select development server --> select request no & release to QA server. Here when it pops up client no, user id & password, maintain it of QA server & release the request to QA server.

Hi,

Its as per the Software development life cycle.

We develop in one system, and we move the code for testing to another system That is quality where no one can make changes.

So that we check code only that is coming from the development system, not the one that is modified in the quality system.

So once the testing is done we dont generally move the code of the quality system instead we move the code that is there in development system ( As the dev close would have happened and the code in both Dev and Quality will be same).

Please tell us, if you can think of antoher way of controlling project releases and making sure that changes made to the system doesn't cause production to be down.

Hi,

The purpoe of doing this is: The client'd actual data is always resides in Database server. And the QAS is mirror image of Production server. Once you move the object to QAS then the proper testing will be done of the object & if it working fine then it will be moved to PRD. That object will be used by the client.

Reward points if helpful answer.
