How do you find potential errors?

Call report /SDF/CMO_TR_CHECK via SE38 or via transaction /SDF/TRCHECK. As this report is part of the ST-PI component, you can call this report from every AS ABAP system. However, the easiest way is normally to call it from SAP Solution Manager. That is because the required RFC connections normally already exist from Solution Manager as the central SAP system in your system landscape.

In the selection screen you must fill a source and a target system. Imagine you want to import a transport from one system to another. The source system is the system where your transport currently is located. The target system is the system in which you want to import your transport request. So, if you transport from development system (DEV) to quality assurance system (QAS), DEV is source and QAS is your target. If you want to transport from quality (QAS) to production (PRD), QAS is your source and PRD is your target. Select the flag for the Cross Reference and run the report.

SAP recommends using the existing READ- and TMW-RFC connections. However, in case you have TRUSTED RFC connections and the right authorisations in the connected systems, this is even more convenient. Then you can directly jump from the result screen to the connected system.

Conclusion:

The cross-reference check is a real help in transport management to avoid import errors and other transport-related errors. It should be used alongside with downgrade or overtaker checks. Whereas downgrade protection cares about two transports containing the same object, the cross reference is about two transports containing two different objects that are linked to each other.

You can easily start to figure out how it works by calling it in your system with report /SDF/CMO_TR_CHECK. In case you are using ChaRM, you can integrate it automatically into your change process. However, in some cases like cross system transports where ChaRM is not used, or to check a huge list of transports before a big Go-Live, you must call the report directly.
