CHANGING PACKAGE NAME

In the initial ABAP learning periods, I had faced the difficulty of transporting the Table
data from one system to another. I had to MANUAL copy, Master data from one
system to another! as "as una"are of this feature in #AP, that allo" us to transport the
data$table contents automatically from one system to another.
Transport %e&uest "ith Table 'ontents Attached
Let(s chec) out the steps for the same.
'ontent of a table can be transported from *e+elopment to ,uality and to Production
using Transport #ystem. -irst you need to attach the table entry to a transport and then
same procedure applies as in case of transporting abap changes.
#tep ./ 0pen the content of table "hich you "ant to transport using transaction #1...
#elect 2Transport 1ntry( from menu.
#elect Transport 1ntries
#tep 3 / If you already ha+e a transport then enter in %e&uest input other"ise clic) on
2ne"( button to create transport and follo" normal procedure of creating ne" %e&uest
and attach data to this ne" %e&uest.
'reate a Transport %e&uest
No" if you see the transport in #145 you "ill find that table content "ere attached to
transport. -ollo" the regular transport procedure to transport these table contect further in
your #AP landscape
ABAP prgrammer sometimes do "or)out on things locally 6Technically, ma)ing the
ob7ect Local in nature8. After all the changes done to the ob7ect, the ob7ect is ready to
transport to the ne9t landscape for further testing.
-ollo"ing steps defines ho" an ABAPer can reassign the Transport Pac)age to the
0b7ect to be transported.
In this case, lets say, "e "ant to reassign the pac)age to an ABAP program. -ollo"ing
steps defines ho" to reassign the Pac)age from Local to Transportable.

3. Use the menu option <goto => ob7ect directory entry?.
:. 'lic) on <'hange?, and you can enter the ne" pac)age. ou(ll be prompted for a
"or)bench re&uest number also. The same techni&ue can be used to change pac)ages in
other ob7ects.
ou can also use transaction #14: 6or the tools option from #145$#1.48, but access is
sometimes restricted.
