Transport of cross-client tasks

As cross-client transport objects, standard tasks (task type TS) and workflow templates (task type WS) are always connected to the transport system and are automatically included in a transport request, if the client settings (table T000) allow changes to cross-client objects.

Transport of client-specific tasks

Customer tasks (task type T) and workflow tasks (task type WF) are only included automatically in a transport request in a particular client if automatic recording of changes is set for this client in table T000.

In other clients, you can include customer tasks and workflow tasks in a transport request manually. To do this, choose Start of the navigation path Task Next navigation step Transport End of the navigation path or Start of the navigation path Workflow Task Next navigation step Transport End of the navigation path in the relevant definition environment.

Transport of settings for tasks

You maintain the following settings for tasks on a client-specific basis:

  • Assignments between tasks and their possible agents

  • Type linkages and their activation

  • Workflow configuration

The system automatically includes these settings in a transport request if automatic recording of changes is set for the relevant client in table T000.

Transporting a workflow definition

If a workflow definition is transported into another system, only the active version is transported. If the workflow definition exists in the target system with the same version number, it is overwritten by the transported version if it has no workflows running. Otherwise, the transported workflow definition is saved with a free version number. The transported workflow definition becomes the active workflow definition in the target system.

Client Copy

With a client copy, the assignments between tasks and their possible agents and the event receiver linkages are copied.

Note

The type linkages are always deactivated in the target client after copying.

If you want to copy the activation indicator of each individual type linkage as well, you must specify this explicitly as a parameter option for copying tables of class A.

Event linkages with installation or upgrade

With a new installation or an upgrade, the type linkages are copied into all target clients. But the activation entries are only copied into client 000. Any existing entries are overwritten in this operation.
