Jay, In the example above, at Step 5, Arun is saving it under $tmp. In a live envt, you will create the transport request with a basis assigned package name and it will be a transportable object and not local object in example of Arun. You can see the list of it in txn se01 and modify if needed. Was this comment helpful? :
