here My question is : do I need to keep track of all the Transport Requests from creation of the program to final version. is all the transport request move sequence is required to move the same program into production server.
Essentially yes. The contents of transport requests are deltas from the previous version. So for programs, after the initial transport, you only get the actual components touched recorded in a transport.
There are various ways of managing this, which can be automated to an extent. For example:
1. Create a transport
2. Do your work
3. Make a Transport of Copies (ToC) from the transport at 1.
4. Transport the ToC to test. (Never to production).
5. Make fixes (your transport at 1 is still open, so everything can go against that).
6. Go through 3-4 until the testers are happy
7. Release the transport at 1, import into test, import into production.
