Change and Transport System

Transfer of R/3 System components from one system to another.

The components to be transported are specified in the object list of a transport request.

Each transport consists of an export process and an import process:

• The export process reads objects from the source system and stores them in a data file at operating system level.
• The import process reads objects from the data file and writes them to the database of the target system.

The system maintains a transport log of all actions during export and import.
