Change the Transport Number Range

When upgrading an SAP Environment, it is most commonly done over an extended period of time. During the process of dual maintenance it can be difficult to keep up with transport numbers for both the original system and the upgraded system. To help take the edge off a little, there is a way to tell the upgraded system to start from a higher number so that the upgrade transports are more easily identified.
You need to update the entry for TRKORR in table E070L to the next number that you want a new transport to have.
If your old DEV environment is assigning numbers in the DEVK930000 range, perhaps change the new environment to start at DEVK940000. This way you know that all transports in the DEVK940000 range are for the upgraded system.
