Procedure documentationApproving and Exporting Critical Objects

 

A user attempted to export a transport request containing critical objects, but the export was terminated. In the Schedule Manager application log, the following information is displayed:

Export checks for critical transport objects activated

Transport request <number> contains critical objects

In the change transaction, an icon is displayed in the Critical Objects column in the transport management assignment block.

You now either have to remove the critical objects from the transport request, or explicitly approve transport of the critical objects. This procedure describes how to approve the objects for export.

Prerequisites

You are the Change Manager who gave the approval to create the preceding change transaction.
