Hi there,

1) For eg you have define a new sales order type ZOR. When you save it, system will give a transport. When you go to SE09, you will have 2 line entries for each transport. The 2nd one is the task of creating teh sales doc type. If you got into the details (press + under each transport) then you will find the task details. When you are moving the transports from development to test client, you should 1st release the task (lower level num) & then the actual transport num TR.

2) MAster data are client specific data. Like when you create the master data, you will not get any Transport Request num TR. You have to individually maintain the customer & material masters in development, quality & production systems.

3) For any codein ABAP, there is soemthing called break points. When you set the break points in teh code & execute a prog, it will go to debugging. Also in SE38, give the prog name & select the option "Debugging". What thesystem does in background, you can see it in front end / real time here.

There you can see the step by step procedure of the prog functionality. Like you can see the system validations, table reading & other stuff.

You usually do this when you arenot getting the required functionality or O/p to see why the system has failed. Basing on the validations you come to know what is missing.

Hi,

1) Transporting a request is nothing a request number, which contains the tasks, tasks actually contain the data created when you configure something.

2) Client specifc data means, data for which the highest level data is the client, For example number ranges are client specific.

3) ABAP debugging: you normally carry out diff transactions in SAP, like order creation,. This all happens due to execution of ABAP programs in background. This is not visible to us. In case we want to see how data flows during transactions we put the execution in debugging mode. thus we are able to see the values flowing in tables & fields

Hope this helps you
