Charm and transport sequence

[Former Member]

Hi,

If I have corrections A, B, C and D containing changes to the same object. A was released as a transport first, B second, C third and D fourth. They go through testing and the workflow in Charm, with final approval sequence of D, C, A. D was quickest to get tested, perhaps simplest change. C was second and A was last, perhaps the one to test longest. B on the other hand looks like it will need more time. I want to import A, C and D into production. I want to do mass imports into my production system. Using Charm, how can I ensure that (1) correction transport sequence in the import queue is A, C and D (transport release sequence is obeyed) and (2) B is not in the production system queue (release of transport in dev system does not add it automatically into the import queue in production)?

Don't worry about low level detail description, I am after guidance/ideas on how to achieve this.

Thank you,

Mike

Hi Michal,

Did you get a solution for this ? If yes, could you please let us know the details.

Thanks,

Hi Prashant,

if you use normale correction SDMJ with project import, the import sequence A, C, D is secured, since the transports are imported in the sequence they were released in the development system.

If you want to prevent to import B you can use transport of copies.

Christoph

Hi Michal,

Question 1:

If you're using SDHF, which uses transport of copies, the original transports are released only after the change request is sucessfully tested. So in your example the transports would be released in the order D, C, A.
