I have tried one more option. I created an adhoc query. Tied a tcode to the corresponding abap program like above. Now I am facing issue transporting the launchpad. I clicked on Adhoc query as well as Personal ID->Launchpad->Transport . The system prompted me for the cutomising TR however when I transport the changes are not getting on to the destination system. I know its a common issue but do you know exactly what needs to be done to get the standard instance MSS->REP transported. Thanks in advance.
