Prefix Number range: Transport number range

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Here is the situation. there are 2 dev servers. the prefix number range in both are maintained as 901 . The workflows will be trasported to a single prod servers. Now as i understand this will create some trouble in prod coz two workflows in two system might have the same number.

Now I think maintaining different number range might help. but when transporting to prod how willl this number range will be taken into account. I mean how to make sure that 901 will be transported as 901 and same as 902 range? Do i need to maintain some config in prod system or just reserving both the number ranges 901 and 902 in prod will solve the issue? Just need some confirmation ..

Thanks in Adv !

Hi AS,

no Prefix ranges wld be transported to PRD, as there is no need for any developments in PRD.

Prefix is only used in DEV, to identify it by a number like WS901XXX.

Just transport your templates, task and whatever developments pertaining to your WF, and it will work in PRD without prefix.

You should not need to do anything in the production system - I am assuming that no development takes place directly in the production system. The number range assignments are only necessary in systems where development takes place.

SAP and the transport system (both dev systems will ultimately have prod as a transport target, right?) will handle everything for you.

Thanks for early reply Kjetil . Did u mean that 901 will always be transported as 901 in prod and I don`t have to do any thing in prod for this . I just need to take care of this in dev boxes only ?

Exactly. The numeric ID that is assigned to your workflow template follows it through the transport system in the same way that the include for a function module follows it.

The difference between workflow templates and reports (in this matter) is that you are not allowed to define the program name of the workflow template. Instead it is composed from the prefix and the next available number in that prefix range.
