Before importing a transport package, you can protect individual properties from being overwritten in the target database. For example, you might want to block processing:

• Configuration parameters and their values should not be overwritten when a test environment is transported to a productive system.
• Server configurations should neither be overwritten in the test environment nor the productive system during a transport.
• Passwords of administrative user accounts should neither be overwritten in the test environment nor the productive system during a transport.

To lock single properties for editing

1. Open the object you want to lock, in the Designer or Manager.
2. Click on the property name and select the context menu Prohibit modification.
   The input field is locked and grayed-out.
3. To unlock the property again, click the property's name and select Permit modification.
