Creating Transports of Copies

If you want to test your software changes in one system without having them transported automatically to other systems in your transport track, you can trigger Transports of Copies. Such transports of copies are not transported across your system landscape, and are therefore not imported into your production system, therefore they are suitable for testing purposes.

Note Note

Transports of copies can be created for a non-ABAP system only if SAP Note 1293449 has been applied in your system.

End of the note.

In contrast to change request management , quality gate management makes it possible to carry out the transport of copies for testing purposes. These can be transported to all systems involved in a QGM project, that is, not only to the consolidation system.

Prerequisites

All tasks have been released in the original transport request.

Procedure

Proceed as follows to create a transport of copies:

For a project in the upper screen section, select the Transports tab in the lower screen section.
Select a transport request and choose Create Transport of Copies .

Note
There is a second option to create a transport of copies from the Changes tab. For this, select a change and choose Manage Transports Create Transport of Copies instead.

End of the note.
In the dialog box that displays, all open transport requests of the change are displayed.
The consolidation system is displayed as default target system. If necessary, select another target system by opening the respective area in the popup.
Select one or several transport requests and choose Create.
You receive a confirmation message that the transport request has been created.
If the transports of copies are successful, this means that you can release the original transports, which can then be transported across your system landscape.
