Transport of Features in HCM

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

I have a question around transport of features in HCM from development client to Quality. How is the data in features transported. Is there a table where I can see what data is going and what additions are done in the particular transport.

If e.g. I have 2 transports, where in I added the feature SCHKZ for a country wrt to employee groups, personnel area without activating it and transported it till quality from Dev. In second Transport I just activated the feature SCHKZ that was added in Transport 1 and transported again till quality. Now if I move only second Transport in Production without the first one. Will my change move to production as a whole with data from both the Transport I.e. Transport 1 and Transport 2?

When I display the TRs I don’t see any difference between the two Transports though. So my question is will my final transport include everything that is currently in the features irrespective of multiple transports available in the client ?

Hi,

see tables T549*

Cannot answer your question with 100% certainty but my experience of features is that when you include one in a transport you get the full/latest version as it is when you release the transport, not just the specific node you changed. So if you have multiple changes hanging around in different transports and you transport thru the last released transport then you will pull thru all the outstanding changes.

Thanks Brendan. I am assuming the same. I have to import the latest one only in Production in few days with other transports hanging around so let’s see what happens. My experience is the same that the latest one will have the complete schema included but wanted to be double sure on this.

Hello Deepak Jain,

Your initial query was about a Feature, but it is the same for a Schema (and for a PCR).

The whole object is transported "as it existed when it was last saved to the transport".

If 2 changes are made to a Schema (or Feature/PCR) and saved in 2 different transports, and that those transports only held the Schema, then the transport holding the first change could be deleted since the second one contains the Schema as it was after "saving" the second change (and therefore included the first change).
