Options for Calling R3trans

You can specify the following options for calling R3trans:

    Check if connect to database is possible and if the ABAP Dictionary is available.

  • -l <datei> Sends a table of contents to the log file
  • -n Brief information about new features of R3trans not yet documented
  • -t Test mode All modifications in the database are rolled back.
  • -u <int> Unconditional modes. This option invalidates the rules of the correction and transport system. Each mode can be concatenated (for example -u 12).
  • -v Verbose mode

    Writes dots to <stdout> and writes additional details to the log file.
