SAP screens
• Easy access screens – post transactional data or master data – TR can
not be generated
• SPRO Screens – SAP Project Reference Object - used configure the
SAP System as per clients requiremen – TR can generate
What is a transport
• To move configurations and/or code changes to Production
• Transport track is like a train. The train follows the route provided above
where SAP environments are the train stations
• Dev > QA > Prod
• When you release a transport, it is available in all the train
stations(environments)
• Consider a situation where there is a bug fix to the change above, then
there will be revisions to the transport and it has to be done all over again.
• Transport request(TR) is a group of tasks, task is a place reserved for a
single user – only he can load the data into TR.
Customizing request
• Client - specific
• Handled by functional consultant
• All configurations
• SPRO settings
• Changes to Client-dependent tables (only for a particular client)
• Table type = C = Customizing table only ( not application tables data)
• Configuration of for example – plant code, material type g/l etc.,
• No ABAP Code or Object involved.
Workbench request
• Cross-client data
• Handled through Technical consultant
• Programs
• TCodes
• Tables ( Client – independent tables )
• Table entries
• Screens
• Functional modules
• Function groups
• User-exits
• BADI
Independent means – all clients it is updated.
Transport of Copies
• Combination of Customizing + Workbench request
• Only one target system ( station )
• You can move TOC to a certain system for example – Testing(QA)
• This will not be automatically transported to the system landscape
• The idea is to perform your code changes and configurations and save it in a transport – “Main
Transport”
• Once you are done all the changes – you will create a “Transport of copy”(TOC) and then you
release only the TOC to the target system , say Production. The “Main transport” is not released.
• You can move TOC to multiple clients by creating multiple child transports.
• you cannot create a ToC in ECC system for an unreleased transport. Only after the transport is
released, you can create ToC
• Using ToC , can reduce the number of transport requests eventually deployed to production.
