What is a Test Transport Request?
During a test, transports are generated in
the Development (SF2) or Staging (SF3) environments containing multiple
corrections, support packages, and customization usually grouped
by project or tasks destined for Production (PS1). These are imported
to Test (SF5) and complied for updating Production (PS1).
What is the Test Transport Policy?
During a test, normal production transport
processing is suspended. This suspension occurs prior to a test
until Production is updated and validation occurs. Only critical
transports are imported into Production until the suspension is
lifted.

When are transports suspended to the Test
(SF5) environment?
In order to stabilize the Test (SF5) environment,
the normal transport process between Development and Test is suspended
starting with the Test environment refresh until Production is updated.
What transports can be processed
during tests?
On test days, transports related to the projects,
changed functionality, or recorded test issues are allowed. The
necessity of those transports is determined and approved by the
Project Leader(s), Group Leaders and/or Quality Assurance.

Who should receive the transport requests
during tests?
Developers submit the requests to the FSS-QA
mail list by 3:00 p.m. for that evening's import schedule. These
are reviewed for import, and a transport request email including
all requests and special instructions for the day is sent to R3-Chmgt.
The pending production transport list is updated with these special
transport requests.
What is the pending production transport
list and when is it processed?
It is a compilation of transports imported
into Test (SF5) used for major updates or releases to Production
(PS1).
