Transport - what are the process behind it?.... [CLOSED]

[Wil_Wilstroth]

Hi all,

Do you know any links how a transport process works.

I know is SE10. But i want to know how the process runs behind in each transport we do? For example, activation, i know there are 7 steps behind it.

What about transport? What is process behind it that we abapers do not see but basis consultants know?

I would very much want to know how the transport process run behind the system.

Thanks

Hi,

a request order contain a key (two field) R3TR + .. (for workbench). When you release the request, SAP will create a file that contain the object point by the key.

The source code of the abap will be encrypted, so you can't see inside the file.

When you import the file (the request released), SAP will use the key to set the new value.

That means, when you modify a source code, SAP does not just transport the modification but ALL the source code.

When you play with the customizing, you can see inside the code, the table of the customizing (for ex T001W for the plant) and the key of the table inside the request (double click on the task).

(not really clear, sorry )

Hi,

Have a look at transaction STMS ( Transport Management System). Hope it would help you to understand.
