SAP Exam C_TADM_23 Topic 1 Question 14 Discussion

An ABAP task list is a sequence of ABAP tasks that can be executed automatically or manually in an SAP system. An ABAP task can be a function module, a method, or a report that performs a specific action. To create an ABAP task list in a development system and transport it to the production system, you need to do the following:

Assign the task list to a package. A package is a container for development objects that belong to the same application or software component. By assigning the task list to a package, you enable the transport of the task list along with its dependent objects to other systems.

Activate the task list. Activation is the process of generating the executable code and metadata of the task list and storing them in the database. Only activated task lists can be executed or transported to other systems. You do not need to assign the task list to a customizing or a workbench transport request, as these are different types of transport requests that are used for different purposes. A customizing transport request is used to transport configuration changes that are made in the Customizing IMG. A workbench transport request is used to transport development objects that are created or changed in the ABAP Workbench. A task list is neither a configuration change nor a development object, but a sequence of ABAP tasks that can be executed in any system.Reference: [TADM12], Unit 5: Software Logistics, Lesson: ABAP Task Manager for Lifecycle Management Automation, Slide 5-7; [ADM100], Unit 5: Background Processing, Lesson: ABAP Task Manager for Lifecycle Management Automation, Slide 5-7.
