Hi Experts,

Is there a way to find which objects are client dependent and which are client independent? Recently, I changed a small GUI settings in testing client and the changes were happened in production also automatically without a transport request, how can it be possible?

How can I identify similar other objects changing whom it impacts other client w/o a transport request?

Kindly share your views on it.

Thanks a lot..

Regards

Saurabh

Hi,

Tables which are having MANDT field is called as client dependent tables. Tables which are not having MANDT field is called as client dependent tables.

Usually when we do any changes to client independent objects, we get a pop up warning as the table is cross client.

Just small correction to Rahul answer - tables with field defined as data element MANDT are client dependent.

Usualy that field will not be shown in SE16 and SE16N transactions but you will find it's definition in table definition in SE11 - ABAP Dictionary Maintenance transaction, content of this field is visible when clicking on icon

Hi MArio and Rahul,

Thanks for your responses. In terms of tables,yes, it is correct. If the objects are client independent then doest it mean that if I make any change in dev. client then the change would happen in production client automatically w/o a transport request?

The same happened when I changed GUI settings.

Kindly suggest.

Thanks & Regards

No since development, quality assurance and production landscapes are usually on different servers and change have to be applied by transfer requests.

When some object is cross client that means it will be automatically updated in other clients on same server/landscape - in your case development server.

Hope it clears...
