Change Management in HANA 2.0 XSA

[upamanyu_mukherjee]

Hi Experts,

I wanted to understand if we have Change Management in XSA which would help us move only the necessary changes from "DEV" space to let's say "PROD"? Currently we have tried deploying an application using xs deploy command and that moves the entire application. Can i just deploy only one object(let's say one calculation view) to the "PROD" space instead of moving the entire MTA project?

Yes that's exactly what you would do.

No that’s not the way it’s designed. You always export the entire MTAR. Upon import the deployer will compare the MTAR to the target system content and calculate the delta then. So during deployment you are only touching the objects that need adjustments.

Ok got it. Let's say there's a scenario where I have 2 calculation views created in my DEV space but I just want to move one of those to my PROD space. In such a scenario is the below approach that I am thinking of correct? -

1. Create a separate branch for PROD space(as you suggested in my earlier question)

2. Push only those changes(CV1) that I wish to be moved to PROD in this branch

3. Pull the project from this PROD branch in my dev workspace and export the .mtar file(from PROD branch)

4. Deploy in PROD space.

5. CV1 gets deployed in PROD and CV2 remains in DEV

Thanks
