Difference between Customizing Request & Workbench Request

[Former Member]

Hi Can you please explain the difference between ustomizing Request & Workbench Request ?

Hi,

Customizing Request is depends on the client. (For example: Normal customize)

Workbench Request is not depends on the client. (For example: Cross client customize: Calender erc /

ABAP, Dectionaly object erc.)

Hi,

It is very basic information which is easily available in lots of SDN Threads. Kindly search the forum properly.

For your information;

The Transport Organizer maintains Change Requests.These requests record the changes made to the repository and customizing objects.Based on teh objects changed they are

1) Workbench Request & 2) Customizing Request.

Workbench Requests are those that involve leaving changes to cross-client Customizing and Repository Objects. The objects are independent of the client.Hence the requests are used for transferring and transporting changed Repository objects and changed system settings from cross-client tables.

Customizing Requests involve changes recorded to client-specific Customizing objects .These client specific requests are used for copying and transporting changed system settings from client-specific tables.

Workbench Requests

When you change a Repository object of the ABAP Workbench,

a query window appears in which you need to specify a

Workbench request. You can only save the changes if you

have assigned the object to a change request.

Workbench requests and the tasks assigned to them are

normally used to record changes to Repository objects and

Customizing for all clients. However, you can also include

client-specific Customizing.

Whether the changes to Repository objects are transported

depends on whether a transport route is defined from the

current SAP System for the package of these objects. From

the system settings, the system automatically determines

whether the change requests are transportable and to which

target system they should be transported.

Customizing requests

Customizing requests record client-specific Customizing

settings made in a single client (the source client of the

request).

customizing request:

Customizing requests record client-specific Customizing settings made in a single client (the source client of the request).

Automatic recording of configuration activities in the Customizing work for a client can be activated or deactivated for each client with Client Control. If automatic recording is active, a query window appears when you change Customizing settings, asking you to specify a Customizing request.

Whether Customizing requests are transported or not, does

not depend on the objects entered, as is the case with

Workbench change requests. The Customizing requests in an

SAP System (or in a client if you use Extended Transport

Control) are either all transportable or all local,

depending on the system setting. The system uses the

standard transport layer to determine automatically whether

the change requests are transportable and to which target

system they should be transported. However, you can change

this manually.

Hi,

Basically we have Client specific data & Cross Client data in SAP. If you do any changes which is of client dependent(Client specific) then system will ask you to store in Customizing request where as If you any changes in objects like Programs then its client independent data(Cross Client), so system ask you to store in workbench TP.

Suppose if you have 2 different clients say 100 & 200 in one server and if you create some purchase group in one client(100), then system will ask you top store in customising TP and these Pur Groups you can not see in other client(200).

But if you create a report by writing code, then system will ask you for work bench TP, and same report is applicable for both the clients(100 & 200). You can use the same report in both clients.
