Transporting ESR Content using the Change
Management Server
Use
Change Management Service (CMS) is part of the usage type Development Infrastructure of SAP NetWeaver. This service enables you to configure your transport landscape and manage the transport of objects between different systems.
The use of the CMS for ESR content transports is optional and not necessarily required. It presents an alternative for transports between different ES Repositories, which you can also execute using the file system.
Prerequisites
Installation and Technical Configuration
You must first install and configure CMS before you can use it for ESR content transports.

Procedure
1. Configuring an XI Track in the CMS Landscape Configurator
To transport ESR
content using CMS, you must configure an
XI track
(repository type: XI). For more information, see
Creating an XI
Track and
XI
Tracks
You launch the
CMS tools from your Web browser. See:
Launching the CMS Web User
Interface.
The track determines the transport route for ESR content for each software component version. You can only assign software component versions from the System Landscape Directory (objects from local software component versions cannot be transported using CMS).
You enter the server addresses for a maximum of three different ES Repositories: one for development (DEV, mandatory), one for consolidation (CONS, mandatory), and one for the productive environment (PROD, optional). Enter a URL with the following structure: http://<server>:<port>/rep/.
