In
large SAP installations serving multinational companies where many SAP clients
are heavily customized within one SAP system there can be a huge IT department where
even hundreds of SAP developers are working. While developing either a new of
changed functionality the developers are using transport numbers to carry the
changes across the systems in a landscape. On top of that, also SAP functional consultants
are moving their changes via customizing transport requests. In such an environment
after few years, the SAP installation can face an issue that number range that
is providing numbers for the transport requests is running out of the numbers.
Normally
the number range for the transport requests generates the numbers within the
range ( <SID>K900000 - <SID>K999999 ). Theoretically, there can be
up to 100k transport requests with the range. If the number get closer to the
999.999 it means that, the system is reaching to the limits of that particular
number range.
Starting
with SAP ERP Release
4.6A (back then around year 2000 called R/3 system)
a new interval will be automatically used by the SAP NetWeaver based
system. It is the range ( <SID>K9A0000 - <SID>K9ZZZZZ ). This will guarantee
that another more than 40 million free transport requests numbers are available
for future.
