Value Lists

Value lists are transported as dependent components if they are referenced by other components. For example, when you transport a data definition, the value list that is associated with the data definition is also transported.

Considerations

Consider the following points when you transport value lists:

• Both the inactive and active values in a value list are transported.
• If a sublist is applicable for the value list, the sublist is also transported.
• When a value list is updated, values not present in the value list are appended.
• For system value lists, only the description for the values can be updated. For a sublist, the description and the status can both be updated.
• If a value list on the target system is transferred as a dependent component, along with the value used in the primary component, all the values in the value list are transported.
