Transport Management (Standard only)

Transports allow you to move an environment across a landscape. For example, you can transport an environment from a development system to a test system and then to a production system.

Two modes of transport are supported:

• Normal mode – For modifying and creating objects. In this mode, if a transported object exists in the target system, it is modified with the changes from the source system. If it does not exist, it is created.

• Deletion mode – For deleting objects. In this mode, you explicitly specify the objects to delete.

You can transport the changes associated with an environment without having to transport the entire environment. You can transport one or more models at a time, and select individual components of a model, for example, dimensions, members, logic script files, work status, reports, and so on). You can transport the deletion of models, dimensions, Data Manager packages (deletion includes renaming, moving and deleting a package), Data Manager package groups (deletion includes renaming and deleting a package group) and Data Manager package links.

You can also collect BW/4HANA objects into a transport request, such as BW/4HANA process chains. To move process chains into your production environment, use the SAP NetWeaver transport process for process chains. The process chain must be assigned to component /cpmb/BPC.

The following subsections contain a description of the transport process and some other useful information about transporting. If you have problems with transports, see Troubleshooting Transport (Standard only).
