SAP Transport Management

1. Transport Lifecycle

CREATE (SE01/SE09) → ADD OBJECTS (SE80/SETDT) → RELEASE TASK → RELEASE REQUEST → IMPORT (STMS)
                       ↑ Code Review Gate (sap-transport-gate)

2. Create & Release (ABAP)

" Create Workbench transport request
CALL FUNCTION 'TR_INSERT_REQUEST_WITH_TASKS'
  EXPORTING
    iv_type    = 'K'          " K=Workbench, W=Customizing
    iv_text    = 'Bugfix: material creation validation'
  IMPORTING
    ev_request = lv_trkorr
  EXCEPTIONS
    OTHERS     = 99.

" Release transport (auto-releases all open tasks)
CALL FUNCTION 'TR_RELEASE_REQUEST'
  EXPORTING
    iv_trkorr = lv_trkorr
  EXCEPTIONS
    OTHERS    = 99.

3. Query Transport Tables

" E070 — Transport Request Header
SELECT trkorr, trfunction, trstatus, as4user, as4date
  FROM e070 WHERE trkorr LIKE 'S4HK%'
  ORDER BY as4date DESCENDING.

" E071 — Transport Objects
SELECT trkorr, pgmid, object, obj_name
  FROM e071 WHERE trkorr = @lv_trkorr.

4. STMS Import (via CLI)

# Import request to target
tp import S4HK123456 QAS U1

# Check import queue
tp show queue QAS

# Monitor import status (SE03 → Transport Log)
# Or via table: SELECT trkorr, trstatus FROM e070

5. abapGit Transport (Offline)

# Serialize ABAP object for transport
python scripts/abap_serializer.py generate \
  --source templates/ZROUTER_DISPATCH.abap \
  --name ZCL_ZROUTER_DISPATCH --type CLAS \
  --format abapgit --output exports/

Pitfalls

• Objects modified without TR → Cause: forgot to record. Solution: all changes MUST be recorded in transport request; unreleased changes are local only.
• TR_RELEASE_REQUEST on task → Cause: releasing task instead of request. Solution: releasing the request auto-releases all open tasks.
• Import fails with "object not found" → Cause: dependent objects missing. Solution: check E071 for object type; include all dependent objects.
• STMS import queue blocked → Cause: previous transport still importing. Solution: use tp checkqueue QAS to view blocking request.
• abapGit package mismatch → Cause: repository dev class ≠ transport package. Solution: ensure dev class matches transport package in SE03.
• Transport not in correct layer → Cause: wrong development class layer. Solution: assign objects to correct package (developments in DEV layer, customizing in CUS layer).

Verification

# Check transport status via E070
python scripts/sap_router.py adt list --table E070 --fields "trkorr,trstatus,as4date" --where "trkorr='S4HK123456'"

# Or via SE03 (transport log)
# tp show queue QAS
# tp import S4HK123456 QAS U1

# Verify import: check object in target system
python scripts/sap_router.py adt read --object ZCL_ZROUTER_DISPATCH
