Selecting DTP Variants to be transported


After selecting the desired DTP Variants and clicking on the  'Transport DTP Variants' button, choose your transport request. You can select the request and confirm the transport for selected DTP Variants. 
It is important to note that DTP Variants only carry information about Validate related items and not the transformation structures themselves. They should be therefore imported only to system where Validate is installed and the same transformations with same structure exist.

The First screen with pre-selection filters of variants is displayed where you can restrict which variants should be marked for deletion.
