Transport Request - For transporting objects from one server to other

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.

ALso check this thread.

hi,

You can check all the requests in SE01 or STMS.

You should know how STMS works at least.

In STMS you normally select the system (DEV/QA/PRD) for which you want to look at transport requests. After selecting the relevant system, you normally get to see the 'IMPORT QUEUE'. This means the following:

(make sure you press the REFRESH button first)

1) transport requests in the import queue of your QA system are not imported yet. (imported ones, you can find back via the menu by selecting the 'IMPORT HISTORY'.

So if you want to find out about requests that are already on your QA system, but NOT on your productive system, you just select PRD , and look at your import queue for this particular system. These transports that you see there are ALREADY imported on QA , but not yet on the production system.

Case Closed I would say, not??

The only thing that might make my statement 'uncertain' is if the company has a specific 'approval procedure'. For example, suppose you have released a new development on your development system. An automatic job imports every hour all released transports from your development system into your QA system. (ofcourse you can always manually import a request).

Now after an hour the request is automatically imported on your QA system and you can do the necessary Unit and Integration testing.

Now, under normal circumstances, after import of your request on the QA system, in STMS it will automatically appear in the import list of the production system.

In case of the approval procedure however, you first might need to select tested requests, select them, approve them (via an approval button ) and run a job to release all approved requests. Only after they are released by the job, they will appear in the Import Queue of the production system.

But ok, I only saw this in practice at one customer so far...but just that you know

regs,

hema.
