For a list of possible actions and related letters, see the Appendix.Ĥ Introducing tp Export Import Quality Assurance Development R/3 for steps that are collectively executed, for example, step N (structure conversion) and step P (move nametabs). for each executed step, and log files named. (containing, for example, import steps to be performed) log with all log files, such as ULOGs, ALOGs, SLOGs, log files named 9. containing the exported objects, and files beginning with D9 if application defined objects (ADOs) are transported.

When a change request is released, the import buffer of target systems is updated. buffer with an import buffer for each R/3 System named after the SID. A file is created for each R/3 user who performs transport actions, and updated when the user releases a request. sapnames with files named after the user's logon name.

The transport directory contains, for example, the following subdirectories: actlog with files named Z recording each action on a request or task (for example, creation, release, or change of ownership). The six digits (including the 9) are a serial number.

Change requests are named K9, where K9 indicates a customer request. User SMITH creates change request DEVK900073 DEVK is released and exported to QAS Quality Assurance System (QAS) As the transport control program tp runs on many different operating systems, restrictive naming conventions are required.
