Transport Basics

Question

Hi All,
I have few questions on Transport Request in ABAP.
1) How to do we handle requests numbers when deleting an object from data dictionary and creating those with the same names?
2) could both delete and create entry be put into single request?
3) what does happen in the target system when a request contains deleted objects is released?

HI,
To Delete a Request, you have to delete the sub-objects first from it, then Object, then Child Request and then Parent Request.
Secondly, Need not to delete the request, but you can use the same for new object creation.
In Case of customization, many times object is first crested, then deleted and then re-created.
So all of these changes can be stored under same objects.
It does not make any wrong impact on system as per the sequence of object creation.
But as per the zero risk factor, it is suggested to create a fresh request for the final object.
If Same Request including deleted object goes to target system, it could create problem during transport, like object not found and during use of the object in target system, wrong results could occur.
