Transport Request
Transport Request
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
folders. 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 K [Not modifiable by system administrators]
SID – System ID
K – Is fixed keyword/alphabet
Number – can be anything from a range starting with 900001
