Closing/Opening the Import Queue

Prerequisites

So that an SAP System being supplied with change requests always remains consistent, you must specify deadlines by which developers must release their change requests. You can close the import queue to prevent requests released after the deadline from being imported.

Change requests which are then released are placed after the current import in the queue, and marked for import next time around. During the next import, which can also take place at a later point in time, only the requests before the end mark are imported.

Make sure that all concerned are aware of when you want to close the import queue. This lets your developers decide when to release their work for import into other systems.
