Releasing Change Lists for Transport

Use

To release a change list for transport, attach it to a transport request. You can either use the preselected transport request or another one that you select with the Transport Organizer.

When you release a change list, the Change Organizer checks if change lists that have already been created (and that contain changes to the same development objects) have already been transported. If this is not the case, the Change Organizer automatically releases the older change lists for transport.
