Transporting Objects using CTS 

Use

With the Change and Transport System (CTS) you can transport the following objects with the CTS transport request.

·        ES Repository design objects

·        Integration Directory configuration objects

·        ABAP Mappings

ABAP proxies for ES Repository message interfaces are usually created in another SAP system that belongs to the ES Repository. A transport in which message interfaces from the ES Repository and corresponding ABAP proxies are to be transported in a transport request is therefore not possible with the procedure described here.

Prerequisites

There are multiple variants for SAP NetWeaver PI transports using CTS with the following system prerequisites:

·        For systems based on SAP NetWeaver 7.1 (after SPS5), transports can only be executed using CTS without having to manually copy the transport files. This case is described in this documentation.

·        For systems based on SAP NetWeaver PI 7.0 (after SPS13), transports can only be executed using CTS without having to manually copy the transport files.

·        For systems based on SAP NetWeaver 2004 (after SPS14), you can implement CTS on a separate system based on SAP NetWeaver 7.9 SPS12 as Transport Server and execute transports in this way. In this case, however, the export files must be copied manually into a transport server directory. Also, up to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS11, you must define two transport routes.

¡        One for ABAP objects of SAP NetWeaver PI system (SAP system in TMS: virtual system)

¡        One for non-ABAP objects of SAP NetWeaver PI system (SAP system in TMS: non-ABAP system)

More information see the SAP Developer Network under https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/xi  → How-to Guides → End-to-End Process Integration → Enabling Platform Interoperability → How to Transport Repository and Directory Content Using CTS+ (SDN user required).

In addition the CTS transport must be activated for each SAP NetWeaver PI system that is to be connected with the CTS transport landscape.

Procedure

...

       1.      Consider in advance which systems are to be involved in your transport landscape for the transport of objects. A basic configuration is necessary for all these systems to be able to operate CTS.

More information: Configuring CTS and Relevant systems for CTS transports

       2.      You must configure source and target systems to automate the transfer of objects from the required system to CTS in source system export and to be able to control the import of objects into target systems using CTS.

More information: Configuring Source and Target Systems

       3.      To execute transports, use the tools in the source system for exporting objects in a transport request for CTS and CTS tools for performing transports.
