Manual Steps can be used to define any non-transportable activities that need to be done before or after a particular Transport is imported. Common use cases are on BW/BI/PI systems were Transport Owners often have to do something directly in the system before/after such transports are deployed to the system.
Manual Steps are created and maintained via the ‘Manual’ Steps tab on the Transport Form. It is possible to define whether the Manual Step should be done before/after the import of a transport (via the ‘Run Manual Step’ dropdown), and whether it should hold up the import of subsequent transports (via the ‘Allow Progress When Incomplete’ checkbox). It is possible to define in which systems in the landscape path the Manual Step needs to be performed in – and also who will perform the Manual Step – via the [Systems] subscreen. Attachments (eg instructions on the activities to be performed) can be uploaded or linked via the [Attachments] subscreen.
