Logging Changes Made Using the Change & Transport System
It is important to keep track of all changes made to your productive system. In addition to application logging, change documents, and table recording, all changes that you make to your productive system using the Change & Transport System are documented in the CTS and TMS logs.
The table below shows the logs created by the Change & Transport System.
Change & Transport System Logs
| Log (File or Table) | Description |
|---|---|
|
<transport_directory>/data |
Data files containing the contents of the transport |
|
<transport_directory>/cofiles |
Status files containing a list of the transport steps |
|
<transport_directory>/log |
Logs containing the keys of the transported objects |

Table E070 in the AS ABAP system |

Tables E071 and E071K in the AS ABAP system |

Because the transport directory is a central location that contains most of the transport information, we recommend you regularly archive its contents and keep the archives for auditing purposes.
In addition, the AS ABAP version management records a history of changes made to repository objects (programs and Data Dictionary objects). Changes to table data can be logged using the table recording mentioned in Logging Changes to Table Data.
