Move Transport request to target with different Sps

[Former Member]

Hi All,

This is a very basic question. Just want to clear myself.

We have released some transports after applying NW 700 Ehp1. Can we move these transport to systems with NW 700 Sp16 (ie, w/o Enhp1) ?

Thanks!

Hi,

Such transports are technically possible, but inconsistencies can occur between the versions of the transported objects.For example if you first import the Support Packages in the development system and then change an object with a transport request, the version of the transport request is valid there.If you first import the transport request in the subsequent system and then the Support Packages, the version of the Support Packages is active there.

Jusy giving another small illustration

As an example, your development system is running a higher support package level then your acceptance and/or production. If an ABAP developer creates or modifies a function which uses functionality (pieces of code) brought into the system by a support package which is not available in the acceptance or production system, this function is no longer going to work after it has been transported to those systems.
