Transport request changes

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

1. Can we release the workbench request in Tcode SE09 or SE01?

2. Once we release the request to production system...The production system will allow any modification under same request?
   Eg..if i transport a report program under request no.Devk900010 to production system. In production system that report program can able to chnage or not?

3. If not editable, how to do the modification if any changes required after transported to production system.

Thanks..

Hi Kelvin,

      To answer your questions one by one,

1). Yes you can release the request using se09.

2). The reason we create Transport is just to make sure that the changes are moved properly from development to production. We should never ever do any changes in the production system.

3). As you should not change the program in production the only thing you should do to make changes to the program is, again make necessary changes to the program in development and create one more transport and then release it to production again. Now when the transport is moved to the production the changes will be reflected in the code.

Hope it was clear and helpful.

Hi Kelvin,

Seems you are new in SAP Field or to say in any Project environment.

Actually, in real life, one can not do any modifications in Production environment directly. Production environment is always locked for direct changes.

To handle this situation, generally a Development system and a Quality system is added in the System Landscape. You need to do all your changes in Development System. Here you will execute your Unit testing.

After your successful Unit testing, you will move the changes to Quality system where your changes will be tested against a Prod Like data.. after satisfactory testing from Functional side.. changes will move to Production system.

All these can be achieved using a robust Transport request mechanism. You can release the TR for Prod or QA system. But once it is released a new version will be created and you will not be able to make any changes to the same TR.

If you want to do further changes to same program, then you need to create another TR and follow the same life cycle..

I hope this clarifies your issues

Hi Praveen,

  I understood well about tranport mechanism from your detailed explanation. My company development system (located at Malaysia) & my client's development system (located at Denmark) doesn't have any connection & configuration setup. So we are copying co-files & data files for the respective transport request and added requests manually in my client's development system & executed. Now the report is available in my  client's development system. I am at client's location. My client wanted some additional functionality to be added in the same report. But report available in my client's development system is in non-editable mode. It ask for access key If i try to change/edit it. Help me how to add the additional functionality in the report….

Thanks in advance.
