continuation file - Details


  • Key Concepts: A continuation file is a file created by the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) to store information about an object that is being transported. It is used to store the object's attributes, such as its name, type, and version. The continuation file is also used to store the object's dependencies, such as other objects that must be transported in order for the object to be successfully transported.
    How to use it: Continuation files are created automatically by the CTS when an object is being transported. The CTS will create a continuation file for each object that is being transported. The continuation file will contain all of the necessary information about the object, including its name, type, version, and dependencies. The CTS will then use this information to ensure that all of the necessary objects are transported in order for the object to be successfully transported.
    Tips & Tricks: It is important to note that the CTS will only create a continuation file if an object is being transported. If an object is not being transported, then no continuation file will be created. Additionally, it is important to note that the CTS will only create a continuation file if all of the necessary objects are present in the transport request. If any of the necessary objects are missing from the transport request, then
