What is the difference between a Transport Domain and a Transport group?

Hi,
one of my friend ask me this question and here i am sharing my views on this question:

Transport domain and transport group does not having relationship.transport group is concern with transport directory not with transport domain.

The SAP system containing the same transport directory are
called to be in same transport group.That means in your
three system landscape is having individual directory
concept then there are three transport group in your system
landscape. and if you are having concept of common transport
directory in your system landscape then there is one
transport group in your system landscape.

Whereas a Domain Controller is the one box or SID which
would control the transports going in from DEV to TEST and
to PROD. Also the TP command is run from the domain
controller.

Sometimes, you may need to change the Title of the SAP Transaction code to a more meaningful one.

The steps are as follows:

Goto tcode SE63 ,On the top left Menu of the screen - Click Translation ---> Short texts - --> Transactions

For example, assuming you want to change the title of the t-code su10 from user maintenance: Mass changes Initial Screen to Mass User changes . On the first screen, fill in the following information:

Transaction code - SU10

Source Language - English

Difference Between SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW

Hi Friends,

Most of the times you might have question in your mind that why you give sap_all and sap_new everytime we create admin user (Altough some people used to give sap_all to every one ).So here i am sharing my knowledge about differnce between these 2 :

SAP_NEW:-
SAP_NEW is a SAP standard Profile which is usually assigned to system users temporarily during an upgrade to ensure that the activities and operations of SAP users is not hindered, during the Upgrade. It contains all the necessary objects and transactions for the users to continue their work during the upgrade. It should be withdrawn once all upgrade activities is completed, and replaced with the now modified Roles as it has extensive authorizations than required.


SAP_ALL:-
SAP_ALL is a SAP standard profile, which is used on need basis, to resolve particular issues which may arise during the usage of SAP. It is used by Administrators/Developers only and is applied on a need to use basis, then withdrawn. It contains all SAP system objects and Transactions. SAP_ALL is very critical and only SAP* contains SAP_ALL attached to it in the production system. No other dialog users have SAP_ALL attached to them.

SAP_NEW is used in the Production environment during a version upgrade whereas SAP_ALL shouldn't be or not allowed be used in Production except where necessary, in a controlled manner with all proper approvals from the customer.
