Function documentationEnhanced Change and Transport System (CTS+)

 

Enhanced Change and Transport System (CTS+) is a tool to execute and monitor the transports from the SAP MII system to different systems. CTS+ is an extension of the existing Change and Transport System (CTS). You use this tool to organize, monitor and transport changes between SAP systems in your system landscape. You must create objects on the development system and attach them to a transport request that is distributed across your landscape using CTS+.

This document gives you basic information on setting up the CTS+ system on an SAP MII system and on choosing transport strategy. You need to select the configuration files from the Configurations screen and export these from the SAP MII system to any CTS+ system.

Integration

CTS ABAP system must be configured and available at the customer landscape.

Prerequisites

You have registered CTS+ as an RFC destination in SAP NetWeaver server. For more information, see Registering Enhanced Change and Transport System (CTS+).

Features

The CTS+ is used to manage the transports between development, test and productive systems. A representation must be created for each system of the application landscape. Transport routes are used to connect these systems in CTS+.

The following figure shows how CTS+ works with Java export and import systems:

The Java export system gets the transport request from the CTS+ and attaches the objects to be exported. It then releases the transport request which is routed from the export system queue to the import system queue.

To import the transport request, you must release the request from the CTS+. This triggers the import and deployment of the transport request to the import system. No action is required from the SAP MII system for import.

Note Note

You cannot change recording for ABAP objects using the CTS+ tool.

End of the note.
