Central Landscape and Transport Management 

Purpose

Change Management Service (CMS) is part of SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI). You can use it to configure existing development landscapes and transport software changes that were created before SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 2. Note that you should use Transport Management System (TMS) of Application Server ABAP (AS ABAP) instead of CMS.

Integration

To aid the central management of software developments, CMS communicates with the components Design Time Repository (DTR) and Component Build Service (CBS). A connection to System Landscape Directory (SLD) ensures that data such as software component definitions is stored centrally.

Features

You use the CMS to perform the following tasks:

●      Configuration of a development landscape
Configuration and administration of tracks for the development and distribution of software component versions in a development landscape.

●      Transport of software changes between systems of one track and between tracks.
