For instance - you can have 20 datasources in ECC but use only 5 of them but then when you replicate the datasources for the source - you still see all the 20 even though you never transported the other 15.
Arun - I agree with your view - but that doesn't explain the corresponding data providers,transformations, DTP being available in Q and P without transporting
Kenneth - Viewing all your messages I believe somebody made changes to the TRANSPORTED objects (there can be n number of reasons - Prd support vs. monthly release vs. quarterly release landscapes etc.) directly in Q and P to sync it up
