operation.
operation.
Annotate
– Updates either the Description or Notes (for Jobs) field with the names of the source, the user, and the
date and time of the transport of data objects.
Note:
If you are transporting data objects, Transporter may not be able to annotate these objects. The Description
text fields of data objects are limited to 4000 characters and there may not be any room available in the Description
field to add annotations. Deleting text in the object’s Description field will provide room for annotations. If the
Transporter cannot annotate the data objects it is transporting, this is noted in the session log. This issue does not
apply to jobs that are transported when using the Annotate option.

cause severe disruptions in the production schedule. Do not modify the
Effective Date
option to resolve this issue.
Instead use one of two methods to transport a job group with a future effective date. Either disable the job group
