Destination to Source object transport comparison

This workflow is used in the scenario where transport objects are migrated from a Source (Development) system to a Destination (Production) system. The workflow generates an Excel report which identifies the following for each object that matches the specified selection criteria:

  • The latest transport that contains the object on the Destination system.

  • Each transport that contains the object on the Source system.

Creating RFC Destinations

Before you begin, you will need to create RFC Destinations for the Source and Destination SAP systems.

Preparing the Workflow

To prepare the Destination to Source object transport comparison workflow, drag its workflow template from the Templates folder into your own workspace, and modify the workflow as follows:

To specify the Destination and Source systems:

  1. Select the Destination System parameter and choose ‘Edit RFC Destination’ from its context menu to display the RFC Destination dialog.

  2. Select the RFC Destination for the Destination system, then click ‘Save’.

Repeat the above steps to link the Source System parameter to the RFC Destination for the Source system.

The criteria for the objects to analyze are specified in the General Object Selection Select List parameter. To specify which objects to analyze, create selection criteria for the following table fields:

Field Description
OBJ_NAME Object name specifications. If no OBJ_NAME criteria are included, all FUNC objects will be analyzed.
OBJECT Object type specifications. If no OBJ_TYPE criteria are included, only FUNC object types will be analyzed.

Save the workflow using the ‘Save’ toolbar button.

Running the Workflow

To run the Destination to Source object transport comparison workflow, click the 'Run' toolbar button, choose ‘Run Now’ from the diagram’s context menu, or press F5. The currently running workflow action is marked with an animated display. When the workflow execution has completed, select the Report URL dataset and choose ‘View Details’ from the context menu to access the generated report.
