Abstract

A method for mitigating errors in the transportation of configuration data may include identifying, at a development system, dependent configuration data associated with a first transport request. The dependent configuration data may implement a customization to a software application hosted at a production system. A reference table identifying the dependent configuration data may be sent to the production system. A missing object list identifying dependent configuration data absent from the production system may be generated at the production system based on the reference table. The missing object list may be sent to the development system where a corrective action may be performed such that the dependent configuration data identified by the missing object list as being absent from the production system is sent to the production system in the first transport request and/or a second transport request. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.
