Controlling Imports using tp

The tp program offers several advantages over direct use of the programs it uses:

• tp helps keep track of transports.
• tp exports and imports objects in the correct order.
• tp ensures that imports into a target system are done in the same order as the exports from the source system(s).
• tp lets you perform exports and imports separately.

The transport control program tp is normally called by other programs:

• Transport Organizer
• Transport Management System
• Upgrade control program R3up

Therefore, you do not have to directly use tp.

Before you call tp directly, check whether the function you want is offered by the Transport Organizer or Transport Management System.

WIth tp you can:

• Perform imports
• Transport client-specific data
• Performing Special Transports
