CTS IN ABAP

1. What is CTS and what do you know about it?

The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and

in Customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in your system landscape.

This documentation provides you with an overview of how to manage changes with the CTS and essential information on setting

up your system and client landscape and deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow this documentation when planning

your development project.

For practical information on working with the Change and Transport System, see Change and Transport Organizer and

Transport Management System.

The enhanced Change and Transport System (CTS+) enables you to transport Java objects and SAP-related non-ABAP applications in your system landscape, alongside ABAP objects. You can also administer non-ABAP systems in a CTS transport domain in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP.

Transportable Objects

You can use CTS+ to transport the following additional objects:

● Java-based and J2EE-based objects:

○ Software Component Archives (SCAs)

○ Enterprise Application Archives (EARs)

○ Software Deployment Archives (SDAs)

● Objects from the SAP NetWeaver usage type SAP NetWeaver Portal (EP)

○ Enterprise Portal Archives (EPAs)

○ Enterprise Portal Applications (PARs)

○ Knowledge Management objects (KM Content and KM Configurations)

● Non-ABAP objects from the SAP NetWeaver usage type PI (Process Integration):

○ Integration Builder objects (TPZs)

● System Landscape Directory content objects (products, software components, technical systems, and business systems)

You can transport these objects together with ABAP objects in a single transport request. When you run imports in Transport Management System (TMS), the system performs the appropriate deployment step automatically.

Any exceptions or constraints to this information are documented in SAP Note 1003674.

Implementation Notes

The enhanced CTS functions are available when you import Support Package Stack (SPS) 15 of SAP NetWeaver 7.0. You also require an SAP Application Server Java with the same Support Package level.

We recommend that you configure a dual-stack system.
