Overview of transport requests across multiple systems
If you ever have been looking for a handy tool that helps you not getting lost in the flood of transport requests? This program shows
- which requests were transported to which systems
- which requests are missing on certain systems
- whether they contain (generic) keys or method execution (XPRA)
- whether they are client dependent
- which objects they contain -> in an object list spanning multiple requests
Results are presented in an ALV grid, or as a classic list. Exporting data to spreadsheets is a breeze; sorting, filtering etc. are supported as well. Long live ALV! The program works regardless of whether import tracking has been properly configured in CTS.
Practical extras: Cross-system version comparison for all objects contained by one request. Single import of requests is supported using TMS services, eliminating the need to change to transaction STMS.
Cross-system version comparison
Maybe you have some larger portion of development (especially coding) in one specific transport request. There is a little known utility report RSVCAD11 (at least it is in ECC 6.0) in the Correction and Transport System that does a version comparison over an RFC destination for all versioned objects contained in the object list of the respective request. This is very handy, if you need to do a quick check to be sure that you do not mess up versions in your target system. Note: Not all objects are versioned, so the comparison tool just prints out a warning for these.

Quickly check object lists spanning multiple requests
…you might even enhance the program by a table-controlled / configurable check of object lists for “dangerous” objects, and earn undying fame 
Cross system version comparison on a transport request basis
…specify destination to check versions against…
…specify transport request (pre-filled)…
…find out what you will be going to mess up by importing this transport request! (Red lines indicate: "Object not found in target system", yellow lines "non-versioned / not comparable object").
