Release Status check	Checks whether the given transport is released or not.
Downgrade Protection check	Identifies other transport requests with identical objects which have been released in the last 90 days, but have not yet been imported to the target system.
Cross Reference Check (Dependencies)	For all objects in the selected transport request, the referenced objects are identified by a where-used- analysis. If the referenced objects are not included in the transport requests, you compare their versions between the source and target system.
Cross Release Check (package level checks)	If the current system and the target system are on different support package levels, this check identifies critical objects in the selected transport request, which belong to inconsistent software components and should not be imported into the target system
Critical Object Check	It will check if the objects in this transport are a part of the critical object list. If it is, then a warning pops up.
