Transports generated during SIT will be imported into SH2 twice a day (shortly after 12 noon and then again after 5pm). Requests must be received by 11:30am and 4:30pm, respectively.
These transports must be associated with RT tickets recorded in the Request Tracker SAP::Test Issues queue under project name "SAP Support Packs 20182019".
