What is Transport Request?

Transport Customizing Requests

O The customization that is made into SAP system is saved in the form of customizing requests in Transport Organizer and then those customizing requests are transported from one SAP client or environment to another SAP client or environment

O Besides Customization requests, there are other three types of Requests which can be viewed through T-code: SE09 / SE10

Workbench Requests - These change requests are made for ABAP workbench. The changes are mostly programming code or custom objects

Transport of Copies To transport objects to a specified SAP system. The objects are transported with the version they have in the current SAP System. The original location of the objects remains unchanged. There is no delivery to another SAP System

O Relocations - To develop objects in another SAP System on a temporary basis. For example, you may want to make special developments in a separate SAP System so as not to interfere with the development process.

O Before we discuss further on transportation of customizing requests, we need to understand different SAP environments or System landscape. There are mainly 3 different environments:

O Development ; Quality / Testing ; Production

O The other SAP environments are Sandbox, Training and Pre-production

O In SAP, the different environments are identified through different Client's 3-dight numeric keys which are created through T-code: SCC4 such as Development client-100, Testing client-400, and Production client-800

O We can control the settings under each client for 'Changes and Transports for Client-Specific Objects'

O As the changes are not made directly into Production after Go-Live, then those are made into Development client first and then transported those to the Quality client for testing purposes

O Once the testing is successful, then those changes are transported to the Production client

O Further on client definition, each client contains its own Customizing objects, Repository objects and Global settings. It is an autonomous unit in the SAP system with regards to commercial law, organization and data


Transport Customizing Requests and SAP Environments

O Transport Organizer:

O Transaction code: SE09 / SE10

O Copy by Transport Request:

O Transaction code: SCC1

O This transaction is used to copy a transport request from one client to another client such as 100 to 400 within the same server

O Import SAP Transport Requests:

O Transaction code: STMS_IMPORT

O This transaction is used to transport a request from one client to another client such as 100 to 400 within the different server





SE01 Transport Organizer (Extended)

Correction and Transport System (SE01) is the main screen of the Change and transport Organizer. Transaction SE01 is used by the administrator to do all tasks related to transport requests - such as create, change, view logs, display client/delivery transports, etc. However, not all developers might be granted access to this transaction SE01.

Both SE09 and SE10 were used in earlier releases of SAP for different purposes.

SE09 – This was used for development of transports
SE10 – This was used for customizing the transports request. When you run SE10 in SAP ERP, you will get the same screen as in T-Code SE09 of Transport Organizer.

In the latest version of SAP NetWeaver, both the Transactions are same.

SE01 –This combines the features of both SE09 and SE10. Apart from that, there are many other features included in it like displaying specific transport request
