Transport Request-1

Transport Requests (TRs) in SAP are collections of changes made in the development system, containing tasks that must be completed before the TR can be released. They can be created automatically or manually, and are categorized as Workbench or Customizing Requests. The import process involves releasing the TR from the source system and managing it through the import queue in the target system.

What’s TR (Transport Request) & How to Create and Import in SAP

Transport Requests (TRs)-:


Is a kind of ‘Container / Collection’ of changes that are made in the development
system. It also records the information regarding the type of change, the purpose
of transport, request category and the target system. It is also known as Change
Requests.
Each TR contains one or more change jobs, also known as
change Tasks (minimum unit of transportable change). Tasks are stored inside a
TR, just like multiple files are stored in some folder. TR can be released only
once all the tasks inside a TR are completed, released or deleted.
Change Task is actually a list of objects that are modified by a particular user.
Each task can be assigned to (and released by) only one user. However multiple
users can be assigned to each Transport Request (as it can contain multiple
tasks). Tasks are not transportable by themselves, but only as a part of TR

Change requests are named in a standard format as: <SID>K<Number> [Not


modifiable by system administrators]

 SID – System ID
 K – Is fixed keyword/alphabet
 Number – can be anything from a range starting with 900001

Example: DEVK900030

Tasks also use the same naming convention, with ‘numbers’ consecutive to the
number used in TR containing them.

For Example, Tasks in the above mentioned TR Example can be named


as: DEVK900031, DEVK900032 …
 The project manager or designated lead is responsible to create a TR and
assign the project members to the TR by creating task/s for each project
member.
 Hence, she/he is the owner with control of all the changes that are
recorded in that TR and therefore, she/he can only release that TR.
 However, assigned project members can release their respective change
tasks, once completed.

Type of Request-:
Workbench Request- contains repository objects and also cross client customizing
objects. These requests are responsible for making changes in the ABAP
workbench objects

Customizing Request- contains objects that belong to client-specific customizing.


As per client settings, these requests are automatically recorded as per when
users perform customizing settings and a target system is automatically assigned
as per the transport layer (if defined)

You can turn on automatic recording by using T-code SCC4. Double click on the
client in which you want to set the auto recording
Check the radio button as per your requirement.
SE01- Transport Organizer – Extended View

Create a Change Request-:

 Automatic – Whenever creating or modifying an object, or when performing


customizing settings, the system itself displays the ‘Dialog box’ for creating a
change request or mention name of an already created request, if available.
 Manually – Create the change request from the Transport Organizer, and then
enter required attributes and insert objects.
Release the Transport Request (Export Process)-:

 Position the cursor on the TR name or a Task name & choose the Release
icon (Truck), a record of the TR is automatically added to the appropriate
import queues of the systems defined in the TMS.
 Releasing and importing a request generates export & import logs.

Use T-code SE09 enter user name and click on Display.

This will display all your TR as below.


 Position the cursor on the TR name or a Task name & choose the Release
icon (Truck), a record of the TR is automatically added to the appropriate
import queues of the systems defined in the TMS.
 Releasing and importing a request generates export & import logs.
The Import Process-:
Importing TRs into the target system

 After the request owner releases the Transport Requests from Source system,
changes should appear in quality and production system; however, this is not an
automatic process.
 As soon as the export process completes (releasing of TRs), relevant files
(Cofiles and Data files) are created in the common transport directory at OS level
and the entry is made in the Import Buffer (OS View) / Import Queue (SAP App.
View) of the QAS and PRD.
 Now to perform the import, we need to access the import queue and for that, we
need to execute transaction code STMS -> Import Button OR select Overview ->
Imports
 It will show the list of systems in the current domain, description, and a number of
requests available in Import Queue and the status.

Import Queue-: Is the list of TRs available in the common directory and are ready to be
imported into the target system, this is the SAP Application View, at the OS level it is
also known as Import Buffer.

To import the contents of import queue, we need to double click on of the system
to extract the latest list, use refresh button.
Positioned cursor on TR and click Transport button.

Enter target client at which you want to import the TR and press enter.
Popup will ask you confirmation as below.

After you need to login in to target client and you will see that Importing of TR
has been started.

Once process finished traffic light will turn green.

Follow same process if you want to move on other client also.
