Transport workflow userexits

[Michael Chong]

Hi Marty,
   You should look up SAP Note 503459. The idea is to copy the standard transport workflow to a custom workflow, insert a send mail task into the custom workflow before the approval task, and "activate" the custom workflow as mentioned in the note.
 
Regards,
Michael

>Thanks Jocelyn, I agree that's probably my best bet.  There is very little documentation on this, all I've found is a little on one of the badi's that says "the method is only called for requests that are exported when they are released (by the transport program tp).  It is not called for local requests or tasks."  I guess I don't understand the underlying structure of the transport environment well enough, but I figured tp would be called in all cases when you release a transport and import it.  I'm guessing it means that by releasing the request manually I'm not going to trigger the method...but how else would I release a request??

>Hi everyone, we are on 4.6C and have implemented the standard transport workflow to our landscape.  Our transport administrator requested that they be automatically emailed in their Outlook inbox whenever a transport was released to be approved.  I found a BADI definition(CTS_EXPORT_FEEDBACK) that looks like it should work, so within it, I coded a send email message routine.  I activated the BADI but I have not been able to get it to invoke. The routine works when I test the badi on it's own.   I thought that as soon as the Transport proposal as created and sent to the administrator, the BADI would be invoked and an email would be sent as well, but I sent a breakpoint at the BADI and it doesn't even get to it.  Has anyone used these BADI's before, if so do you have any insights on what I might be missing?  Does this BADI even work for this scenario??
