Creating BC Sets Using Transport Requests 

Prerequisites

You want to create a BC Set from a transport request. A transport request containing Customizing data must already exist.

This Customizing request is a change request with which you can copy and transport the changed system settings.

The BC Set is based on the data in the Customizing request. You can copy all the data records in the Customizing request into the BC Set, or select a subset.

You can subsequently edit BC Sets created from transport requests.

Procedure

       1.      Enter the Customizing request number and Continue.

       2.      You can search for requests with the F4 help. The request type is Workbench/Customizing requests. The request status can be Changeable or Released.

You get an overview of the transport objects in the transport request.

       3.      To put a transport object in the BC Set, flag the row Copy.

       4.      The Status column tells you the BC Set-compatibility of the transport object. The following values are permitted:

○       green traffic light: The transport object can be put in the BC Set.

○       yellow traffic light: BC Set creation or activation problems are possible. Check whether all data records have been put in the BC Set, after you create it.

○       red traffic light: Table entries exist, but they cannot be interpreted. They cannot be put in the BC Set.

○       Cancel: The transport object cannot be interpreted or put in the BC Set.

You can get detail information about the object at the bottom of the screen, by double-clicking on a row. For detailed information about messages, choose the icon in the Documentation column.

       5.      The Activity column indicates the associated IMG activity. If no unique assignment is possible, the field is empty. To assign an activity or change an existing assignment, choose the Change Activity icon.

       6.      Position the cursor on the IMG activity to which you want to assign the object, and choose Select.

       7.      When you have made your choice, choose the Save Data from Transport Request icon.

       8.      Make the necessary entries in the following dialog box Create Object Directory Entry.

       9.      Choose Save.

   10.      To create the BC Set with the selected rows, choose Save.

●        When you read the transport request, the data records are initially only read in the logon language. When you save the BC Set, all languages in the system are also put in the BC Set.

●        You can edit the BC Set manually at any time. Proceed as described in Change BC Set.
