TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT in SAP ABAP

Transport Management


  • Transport Management in SAP ABAP systems is the data movement strategy between the three standard SAP System Landscapes (development, quality assurance, and production)
  • Transport requests which are data packaging of ABAP source code changes and configuration changes are moved from one landscape to another.

Packages

Packages contain a group of development objects that must be developed, maintained, and transported together.

Example

  • $TMP is used for local objects, and is non transportable.
  • Custom packages are used to capture all development objects and enable transport to the next system environment

  • For some projects, change requests are created in the Solution Manager (SolMan) system and will be handled by ChaRM.

When a transport request is created, it can be either a:

Workbench Request

Transporting objects like Programs, Classes, etc. basically Repository objects.


Customization Request

Transporting customization data to move it from one system to another.

Version Management

  • All the developments will be done in a development system within the SAP system landscape.
  • Developments from DEV system will be moved to QAS, once moved to QAS a version will be generated in version management database.
  • Version management will mainly be helpful for an ABAPper to:
    • Recover/Review a version
    • Verify/validate versions with remote systems
