Transport: Transports are used to transfer new or updated data from a test environment to a production system.
The advantages are as follows:
Using transports ensures a strict separation between testing and production.
The data from the test environment is transferred as a whole and no longer needs to be re-entered manually.
A transport reduces the workload of administrators and accelerates a go-live process.
Using transports avoids errors and ensures data integrity, transparency, and accuracy.
Note: It is recommended to make all changes only on the staging or test system and then move them over via transports to the productive system. A configuration which was only changed on the productive system might later be overwritten by its old state from the staging or test system. This may cause data compatibility problems |
