Look For Transport Best Practices

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am looking for transport best practices, so please answer the following questions on how your place of business handles :

1. If an object is modified in development and you decide that you you do not wish to move the modifications forward - Do you;

a. delete the transport and release the locks

b. create a corrective transport and move the transport through production

c. release the transport and never import it into the next system

d. something different : (Please explain)

2. If a transport is imported into QA and then you decide never to move it to production, do you:

a. delete the transport and release the locks

b. create a corrective transport and move the transport through production

c. release the transport and never import it into the next system

d. something different : (Please explain)

Thanks Rob

I was always taught never to delete a transport. The changes should be reversed in the same transport and moved forward or released and the corrective transport moved forward in the same import queue.

If the transport goes to QAS then it needs to move to production. A corrective transport should be imported into production in the same queue.

I am sure you can get 20 different answers on this, but this is my policy.
