Hi Joe,

For the question about "change originals" we need to know a bit more ...

Only when you are creating a new "DEV" system, with a different SID versus the old DEV system, than you should enter YES to this!

So, if you have a separate DEV system "preceding" your T01 Quality system and you are only refreshing QA then the answer should be NO.

This is all because of the field SRCSYSTEM in table TADIR for your "own" objects needing to point to your DEV system.

That's the way that SAP recognizes if an object is the original in the DEV system or a copy in another system and defines how it handles changes to the object.

Hope this helps, Louis.

Hi Joseph

When activating the transport routes, it is automatically recognized that a database copy existed. The corresponding adjustments in the system are automatically carried out without having to handle object originals if you select "No"
