Search Result and Work Area: Details

The bottom half of the screen provides you with display and editing functions on tab pages.

You can switch between the tab pages using the left and right arrow keys. Use the up and down arrow keys to jump between the items in your work area.

Before you can make changes on the tab pages, you must switch to change mode. For more information, see Changing Transport Requests.

After you have made changes on the tab pages, you can validate them. This way you can check the correctness of your entries without having to save the changes. If errors are found they are displayed in the message area. Some tabs have a Validation status column that displays the status using icons. For the changes to take effect, you must save them. You can undo changes that you have made on the tab pages, but which you have not yet saved.

The following tab pages are available:

  • Properties

    On this tab page you can display the properties (such as the description, owner, or target system) of the selected transport requests, and change these properties, if required.

  • Attributes

    On this tab page you can display, change, add, and delete attributes that identify the transport request more closely.

    Attributes that were assigned externally are only shown in display mode.

    Mandatory attributes can also be defined. If this is the case, a request can only be released when the mandatory attributes have been added to the transport request and, if required, an attribute value has been specified.

    For more information about request attributes, see Request Attributes.

  • Object List

    On this tab page you can display the list of objects that belong to a transport request or a task.

    You can edit the object list. You can add or delete file objects.

    For more information, see Attaching Non-ABAP Objects to Transport Requests.

  • Logs

    Once you have released a transport request, you can use this tab page to track the status of the transport. Selecting the system displays the associated transport logs.

  • Preselection

    You can highlight the selected transport request as the default for your user or other users. For more information, see Preselecting Transport Requests.

  • Transport Collections

    This tab page is only visible if the system for which you are displaying transport requests is a system that is managed by central CTS.

    It provides information on the transport collections to which the transport request is assigned and on projects, if the transport collection is assigned to a project. Selecting the collection ID link opens the SAP Transport Manager on SAP Solution Manager (central CTS server) where you get more information on the transport collection.
