customizing request & workbench request

[Former Member]

What is the difference b/w customizing request & workbench request

I have 3 clients with same server

Client 200, 300,400

200à sand box

300->Dev

400àquality

when in LBWE for example I take 2lis_11_vahdr and click on Maintainence & I have selected some fields from communication structure then it ask me for request I gave it as BW Sd sales

then I clicked on 2lis_11_vahdr then again it asks for request no(i.e., customizing request) I gave it as ECDK901599 (BW Datasrc Sd sales )

then I login to 300 client

Clicked on the maintainence I can see the fields which I have added from communication structure to extract structure ,then I clicked on 2lis_11_vahdr it asks me for the request name I try to give the same request which I gave in client 200 i.e BW Datasrc Sd sales Request ECDK901599 (ABAP1) belongs to a different client

Then I have created one more request like BW Datasrc 300 SD Sales then it gives me the error 2LIS_11_VAITM is locked in request/task ECDK901600

Is it that only I should select whatever fields I want (by clicking on Maintainence ) in client 200 & do customizing i.e clicking in the datasrc (selection,hide etc in 300 client)

Hi priya,

<u><b>Customizing Request:</b></u>

Changes to Customizing settings are recorded in Customizing requests.

When you release the requests, the current status of the recorded settings is exported, and can then be imported into the consolidation system and, if necessary, into subsequent delivery systems.

The client settings determine whether

- changes to the Customizing settings are possible

- the changes are recorded

When you create Customizing requests, the transport target is automatically assigned the standard transport layer by the SAP System.

<u><b>Workbench Request:</b></u>

Workbench requests record changes made to ABAP Workbench objects.

There are local and transportable Workbench requests. (Local Workbench requests have the target system <space>.)

The package of the object and the transport route settings in the Transport Management System determine whether changes are recorded in a local or a transportable Workbench request.

Bye
