In CTS mode, you perform transports using the ES Builder and the CTS Transport Organizer. The following tools are required:

Tools for Transports in CTS Mode

Transport Management System

Determine the systems involved in transports and transport routes.

ES Builder

Determining the object set for transport

Status display

Resolving conflicts in imports

Finding Transports

Transport Organizer

Importing change requests to the target system
(Development, Consolidation, Assembly)

Transport Units

You normally transport objects from a development system (DEV) to a consolidation system (CONS) and then from the consolidation system (CONS) to a productive system (PROD). You can include objects from both SAP NetWeaver PI as well as objects from other sources (such as ABAP development objects) in a transport request. The following table concentrates on ES Repository and Integration Directory objects:

Transport Units Dependent upon Source and Transport Scenario

Source

Supported Transport Units
(Depending on Transport Scenario)

From DEV to CONS

From CONS to PROD

ES Repository

Change and transport lists

Usually:
Software component versions

Change and transport lists (emergency corrections in the Integration Builder)

Integration Directory

Transport lists
(objects of a party, service, or configuration scenario)

Usually:
Change lists
(after their import and manual release in the Integration Builder or further changes in the consolidation system)

You can also create new transport lists.

As shown in the table, the usual transport units and the necessary steps depend on the source (ES Repository or Integration Directory) and the transport scenario.

In the development system ES Builder you normally export transport requests which can be transported to the consolidation system using CTS. In this way you use CTS to control the further transport of the objects and the import into the target system.
Exceptions:

      In the consolidation Integration Directory, change lists are usually generated when changes are imported. You must check and release these change lists in the ES Builder before you can transport them further with CTS.

      If you have to make emergency corrections in the ES Repository of the consolidation system, you export change or transport lists, which appear in CTS (as in the Directory case). In this case you must carry out the correction in the original system in the same and way and again later in the consolidation system.
