Datasphere Transport management is terrible, what am I missing?

The longer I am using Datasphere, the more frustrated I become about some design choices and at this point I am wondering if I miss something.

I have a very simple landscape with a dev Datasphera and a prod Datasphere. Most of the time, I want to transport medium sized changes to already existing models and views.

Currently, you can either use packages, where you always have to grab all dependencies but you do have the option to organize all changes into some sort of "unit" or "package" or you do it manually and you might forget to transport a change you made.

So exactly the option that I need the most: Package a few changes into a transport without the entire dependency chain, is missing.

All I need is the ability to create a package without all the dependencies. Very simple! And that is how the transport management works in SAP R3 and R4? What was the reasoning not to do it with Datasphere?

On top of that, the UI is especially slow there. Simply opening the initial dialogue takes 30 seconds.

What it all boils down to is that even minor changes that should be 5 minutes take me 30 minutes because of the clunky and slow implementation. 

But I cannot rule out, that I do something wrong so I am here posing the question if other people see it the same way or if make mistakes.

Hi,

We're not using the Package menu but using the Export menu, when creating a new Export (package) there is an option to press CTRL when selecting items to select the objects without their dependencies.

Maybe the Export option is what you had in mind when you said "do it manually" in which case this feature might not answer your question.

Hello Clemsteich, yes I have been using that function as well too. But if you start working on a new project, it would be great if you could store all changes into a package so that you can transport them all together without having to worry that you forget a change that you made. If you are working on multiple different projects at the same time (which happens because of delays for testing etc) it can be quite difficult keep track of all changes.

Good Point Alexander. We are also struggling with same issue. for new objects no issues to collect, but existing object is the issue and we are also looking for the table. which will list of objects with package list in the table will def help

At least it's good to know that I am not alone in my troubles. Sometimes I'm thinking that working without a test system might be better because the transport management is so time consuming!
