What is a Transport Request?

A transport request is a mechanism in SAP that facilitates the movement of changes made in one system to another. In the case of CBC, transport requests are automatically generated when deploying a workspace. These requests document all modifications, allowing for a structured approach to change management.

Identifying CBC Transport Requests

When you deploy your workspace from CBC, the system creates transport requests categorized as CBC type. These requests capture essential changes, including:

  • Scoping adjustments
  • Organizational unit modifications
  • Business configuration content updates

Finding CBC Transport Requests

To locate and manage these transport requests, follow these steps:

  1. Access the Export Customizing Transports App: This app provides a centralized interface for managing transport requests.

  2. Filter by Request Type: Use the "Type" option to specifically filter for requests labeled as "SAP Central Business Configuration." This will help you focus on relevant transport requests.

  3. Check Task Status: Ensure that all tasks associated with the CBC requests have a "released" status. Only requests in this state can be processed further.

Handling CBC Transport Requests

Taking Ownership of a Request

To manage a CBC transport request, you can take ownership by clicking the Assign To Me button. This grants you the necessary permissions to release the request once all associated tasks are complete.

Releasing Customizing Requests

You can release customizing requests using the Export Customizing Transports app. It’s important to note that all tasks within requests of type CBC are automatically released after implementation, ensuring a smooth transition of changes.

Monitoring CBC Staging Status

Transport requests of type Central Business Configuration are linked to a CBC Staging ID. To check the staging status and gather related information, select Display CBC Staging in the transport request overview. This will direct you to the CBC staging area, providing more detailed insights.

If you encounter issues during staging, such as errors or activation failures, it’s essential to report an incident under the component X4-CBC-CW for assistance.

Important Notes

  • No Task Creation: For CBC type requests, task creation is not permitted.
  • Release Requirement: All tasks within a CBC transport request must have a "released" status before proceeding. If any tasks are not released, please report an incident under X4-CBC-CW.
