Periodicity of Transport Changes to the Production System

[Former Member]

Hi there,

Since some years ago, we have been having some problems regarding the transport of change requests to the production system.

So, I would like to know what is the periodicity to transport changes to the production system in your companies?

Do you have a downtime to transport it?! Or is it done with the system running?!

Thanks so much in advance,

Hi Dany,

Best time to move transports to Production is non-business hours, usually night time. You don't need to lock users unless there is a requirement.

When i said "downtime" would be without users online in order to avoid being transporting some objects which can be being used by a process.

Thanks.

Theres no rules on transports strategy, you should build you own according to your development schedule and landscape complexity.

If you have a transport that will affect running transactions/reports then you need to wait for a quiet time (when no one is using the affected code). Some companies have policies/schedules for importing transports into production some are done on demand.

Its up to you.

Ahh ok Dany, now I get it.

So to avoid users online we don't move the transports into production during business hours.

Let's see what other techies have to say.

First of all, transport are not to be moved when SAP is down.

Frequency, you can keep daily night time or weekend (Friday night, for e.g.).

For one client we have 'daily night' periodicity and for another we have Friday night for Production.

Thanks
