Unit 7: Working with the Transport System ADM100
Lesson:
191
Performing and Checking Transports
Lesson Duration: 60 minutes
Lesson Overview
In this lesson, you will learn how to perform transports between SAP
systems. Differences between and similarities of workbench and
Customizing requests will be considered.
The export and import of transport requests will be explained.
Lesson Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
• Create and release transport requests
• Describe the architecture of the SAP transport system
• Import transport requests
In this lesson, you should explain in detail how repository objects (tables,
programs) are transported. You should differentiate clearly between the
terms change request and task. Explain the different authorizations of the
developer and the project leader.
You could also possibly point out that up to SAP Basis 4.6B, transactions
SE09 and SE10 were separate, and were only combined into the Transport
Organizer with SAP Basis 4.6C.
Business Example
The changes that the developers make in the development system must
be transported to the quality assurance system for testing, and, after
successful testing, to the production system. Transporting change requests
is part of the administrator’s task area.
Workbench Requests
Workbench and Customizing requests are both created with the Transport
Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10). In the context of a request of this
type, a project leader defines development or Customizing tasks and
assigns them to individual employees. After the individual tasks are
released, the request can also be released. After a successful export, the
request can be imported into the target system.
