Unit 7
183 Working with the Transport System
As an introduction, you can use a figure to discuss a structure with two
clients. Explain that the user data of each client only makes sense in that
client and should therefore not be copied in the context of a client copy
- also for data protection reasons. Later, you can show a three-system
landscape, either using a figure or in the system itself. In the system: Call
transaction STMS, choose the System Overview button, and the Transport
Routes button. Other demonstrations include creating a Workbench
request using transaction SE09, which is used for additional developments
(transaction SE80).
