Method for tracking transport requests and computer system with trackable transport requests
First Claim
1. A method for retrieving a status in a logical system in a system landscape comprising a central control system and a plurality of the logical systems interconnected by logical paths, the method including:
- providing a software service for customization, adaptation, program or data update of a system;
providing a data supplier in the logical system for supplying, to the central system, data supplier information containing information about the status;
providing a data collector in the central system for obtaining the data supplier information and accordingly updating status data;
using a transport request consisting of structured data comprising an identifier, general information regarding the service, and service data for providing the software service for a system;
feeding the transport request into an import buffer of at least one of the logical systems;
providing data accessed by the data supplier from at least a part of the transport request;
using the accessed data as part of the status; and
providing a tracking service in the central system for tracking the transport request, the tracking service allowing to analyze the status data.

Abstract
A method for tracking transport requests in a system landscape comprising a central control system and a plurality of logical systems interconnected by logical transport paths, a transport request defining a software service for a system in the landscape, is described. The method includes feeding a transport request into a logical system of the plurality of logical systems; providing a data supplier in the logical system for supplying, to the central system, data supplier information containing information about the transport request; providing a data collector in the central system for obtaining the data supplier information and accordingly updating status data; and providing a tracking service in the central system, the tracking service allowing to analyze the status data.

9. A computer system comprising:
-
a central control system;
a plurality of logical systems;
logical transport paths that interconnect the logical systems to form a software system landscape, the logical transport paths allowing a transport request to be fed into a first system of the plurality of logical systems, a transport request defining a software service for a system in the landscape;
a data supplier in the system for supplying, to the central system, data supplier information containing information about the transport request;
a data collector in the central control system for obtaining the data supplier information and accordingly updating status data; and
a tracking service in the central system, the tracking service allowing analysis of the status data. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
