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.
