  1. Hello… I am transporting ONLY a substitution rule with many steps and some of them have also USER EXITS not only constants…
    Why then only select generate substitutions…
    How about generate rules usage, substitution usage and generate rules itself ?? Should not these be selected as well ? Thanks

    1. Hi Fernando

      You need to select what you have changed and want to transport indeed.
