Workbench Transport Request

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Just a quick and easy question for you guys, we have option to create workbench transport request and we didn't want to create workbench request at that time, we just want to save it as a local object. We have this opportunity in so many places for example when we create transaction variant through SHD0, or creating or assigning auth group through SE54 .and so on...

My question is if we save it as a local object and later on we need to transport the same object to QA how should we go about it because I don't see any transport option in SHD0 after we missed the workbench transport request in the first place and save it as a local object.

Please provide your feedback

Thanks

In SE03 there is the option to change the object directory entry.

Select your object from the $tmp package and change it to the one it should have belonged to.

You will need some strong authorizations for this...

what is the standard practice usually what Security admin do. Do they create object one more time because they created first time as a loca; object and test it then they create one more time and then create workbench request.

Or as you said they usually change SE03 object dictory?

IMO you should assign objects to the correct package when you create them, and release the transport request when you think it is ready for being tested.

Of course there are organizational aspects as well, such as development co-ordinators who should know when an object should be ready and check that it is and in which sequence the transports should go in, etc.

For that you can also use Projects in the CTS and couple them with the config (tcode SPRO_ADMIN).
