Transport Frequency to SAP ERP Productive System

0 Kudos

In the world of DevOps or Agile methodology, everyone wants to do the things faster.

The developer wants to finish his development as soon as possible and hand it over to the tester.

The customer wants his changes to be productive ASAP; so on and so forth. There are many examples of this.

My question is how often (Monthly, Weekly, Daily?) should the transports (changes/new developments) be moved to SAP Productive environment?

My previous clients were mainly MNCs where transport was possible only once in a month.

At my current company (Mid Size, family-owned German Company) we are currently moving the changes once a week. We would like to increase this frequency at least twice a week or more.

What could be the possible reason(s) for MNCs not to move the changes frequently to the production environment?

What we should consider before we increase this frequency at least twice a week or more?

Is it a good idea to allow each developer and consultant to transport their changes to the productive system on their own? (rather than asking SAP Basis to do it?)

What could be the possible pitfall(s) of changing the stand of the productive environment on a regular basis?

How its done at your company or client for whom you work?

As always waiting for insightful views from the sharpest mind of the SAP world. 😊

We used to do monthly releases, and now we are weekly

We use Solution Manager; as of now the functional team on Solution Manager moves the transports to production, not Basis

Hi Tammy, thanks for your response.

We are also using SolMan for transport management.

Could you share some more insights, what lead you/your team to move from monthly to weekly release?

I think our developers were initially concerned, as they felt they needed to check the system health.

But we've done this now for 2+ years and so far I think it has worked for us. So many system changes don't fit the monthly cycle
