  4. Choose the ABAP communication system that you want to use for the release of the SCA file(s) from the dropdown list.
  5. Specify the name of the Non-ABAP system on the previously selected communication system where you want your SCA file(s) to be released. Choose Next .

    Connection to the back-end system is established and the filled in data is checked. A CTS transport request is obtained.
