Procedure documentationIncluding Modification Adjustment Transports Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

If you have a multi-system landscape, you only need to perform the modification adjustment once. The system stores the data for the adjustment in transport requests that you can include in the import process when importing the Support Package queue into the follow-on systems.

Recommendation Recommendation

For quality assurance purposes, we recommend that you always include modification adjustment transports in the Support Package queue, as manual adjustment actions in the follow-on system are then no longer necessary. If you are using the Import Mode Downtime-Minimized then the total downtime is reduced.

End of the recommendation.

Prerequisites

You have created, selected and released one or more modification adjustment transports in your system, following the method described in Performing Modification Adjustments.

Procedure

  1. After you have defined a queue, the system asks you whether you want to include modification adjustment transports. Confirm that this is the case.

    Note Note

    In the Settings for the Support Package Manager, you can suppress this question.

    End of the note.

    A dialog box appears, containing a list of existing modification adjustment transports.

    You can also call this dialog box by choosing Display/Define on the Support Package Manager initial screen, and then choosing Add Adjustment Transports to Queue in the dialog box of the current Support Package queue.

  2. If no adjustment transports are displayed in the list, you need to notify the system of the transports. To do this, choose Find Adjustment Transports.

    You can also call the function for finding adjustment transports from the menu on the initial screen of the Support Package Manager, under   Support Package   Find Adjustment Transports  .

    The system searches for adjustment transports in the Transport Management System import queue and in the transport directory on the application server. The system lists the transport requests that you have selected as modification adjustment transports and released in the export system.

    For each adjustment transport listed, the Status field shows whether or not it matches the current Support Package queue and can therefore be included. Adjustment transports that match the queue are already selected in the table. An adjustment transport "matches" the queue if the target Support Package status of the current queue is the same as the one in the export system at the time when the modification adjustment transport is exported.

  3. If required, change the adjustment transport selection.

    You cannot select adjustment transports that do not match the queue. To hide adjustment transports that do not match the queue, choose Activate Filter.

  4. To add the adjustment transports to the Support Package queue, choose Copy Selected Adjustment Transports.

Result

You have added modification adjustment transports to a Support Package queue. You can now import this queue.

Caution Caution

When a modification adjustment transport is imported as part of a Support Package queue, it is deleted from the normal transport flow for Workbench requests. Requests are not forwarded to follow-on systems automatically. If you are working with the classic three-system landscape comprising a development system (DEV), quality assurance system ( QAS) and production system (PRD), the modification adjustment transport is put into the QAS import queue after being exported from the DEV system. Including the adjustment transport in a Support Package queue in system QAS deletes it from the QAS import queue. Since no transport forwarding takes place when importing a Support Package queue, the adjustment transport is not forwarded into the import queue of the PRD system. This means that the modification adjustment will not be imported to your PRD system with the Transport Management System.

You then need to import the adjustment transport into the PRD system as part of a Support Package queue, using the he same procedure as in the QAS.

End of the caution.
