The export date, the export description, database revision and the name of the export file in the source database transport history are recorded when a transport package is created with the Database Transporter.
When you import a transport package with the Database Transporter, the import date and description, the database version, and the transport package name are recorded in the transport history of the target database.
To display transport history
You create transport packages to exchange customer-specific changes between the development, test, and productive system databases.
