F IGURE 11-2 Change request and task
tp (Transport Control Program)
SAP provides a transport control utility called tp (transport control program or transports
and programs) for importing the released change requests to the target systems. tp is a kernel
executable and it helps in coordinating all activities associated with the export and import of
transport requests. When the truck icon is clicked at the application level, as shown in Fig-
ure 11-2 , tp is called at the operating system level and it exports the data. The following
code using the usr/sap/trans file system directory shows the subdirectories that are created at
the time of system installation under the common transport directory.
For every exported change request, tp writes one data file and one control file to the com-
mon transport directory data and cofiles subdirectories respectively.
