Use the transport workflow to automate your transport process. It is an efficient method of transporting a selected number of requests into a group of transport targets, and uses clearly defined approval steps to ensure the quality of your target systems. To use the transport workflow, you must first create a transport proposal.

• You have configured the transport workflow for your SAP System.
• You have a user in the Workflow Engine system/client.
• Released requests exist.

1. Go to the Transport Organizer and select released requests.
2. Select a request that you want to transport and choose Utilities ® Create transport proposal. The dialog box Create Transport Proposal appears.



If you are using the transport strategy workflow-controlled transports, the transport workflow starts automatically when you release a transport request, and the screen Create Transport Proposal appears. The requests are then released implicitly when the transport proposal is sent to the transport administrator.

3. Enter a short text, the target system and any other requests. The target systems apply to all requests that are entered.



Note that any requests that you place in the transport proposal have to have been released. To display the standard targets, choose . These are the SAP Systems that are on the standard transport route of the request. To display all SAP Systems into which you can transport objects, use the F4 help on the field Tgt systems.

Choose to display all target systems that follow on directly from this system. You can use this function to distribute transports throughout your system landscape, system-by-system.

TMS can make only one entry in the import queue for virtual and external SAP Systems. If you are transporting into an external SAP System, you need to make the import manually in the domain of the external system.

To display the requests, choose , and to display the transport logs, choose .

4. If necessary, specify the import time and the import options.



If you do not make any entries here, the import is started immediately. The import option Leave transport request in queue for later import is used for Customizing requests and transportable change requests, as long as you have not set workflow-controlled transports or single transports as your transport strategy in TMS.

5. To write a note for the transport administration, choose .
6. To check your entries, choose .
7. To make a test import into the target system, choose



You can make a test import into another transport group, only if you have the authorization S_CTS_ADMIN (from the profile S_A.SYSTEM). If you do not have this authorization, ask the system administration to make the test import for you.

8. To create the transport proposal, and then forward it automatically to transport administration, choose .
