Releasing Transport Requests from a Change Document

To release a transport request from within a change document, go to the Transport Management assignment block and proceed as follows:

  • Urgent changes that are in status “In development”: Select the transport request and choose Release Transport Request.

    Transport requests of urgent changes can also be released automatically when the status is set to “To be tested”.

  • Normal changes: Transport requests are automatically released when the change document is set to “Successfully tested”.

Releasing Transport Requests from a Task List

To release a transport request from within a task list, proceed as follows:

  1. In the administration cockpit, choose Task Lists.

  2. Choose the relevant change cycle.

  3. Click the task list for which you need to release transport requests.

  4. Under the task node of the development system, select Release Transport Request and start the action by clicking Execute. You can then decide whether you want to execute the task immediately or at a scheduled time.

  5. In the dialog box that appears, select the transport request(s) that you want to release.
