Change and Transport Tools

Developing or configuring software requires testing before you let your end users make use of it. So you
would need a place (can be a system, a tenant,..) where you develop or configure, another one for testing
and finally a production environment hosting a stable version. But how to make sure that exactly what you
did is tested and that everything reaches the final stage? This requires some kind of logic that collects the
(changed) content and makes sure that everything is transported from development to test and
production environments.

4/20/23, 11:41 PM Software Logistics Toolset

SAP offers different tools that support these tasks. The Change and Transport System (CTS) is used in a
classic ABAP environment. CTS+ makes use of many mechanisms known from ABAP for non-ABAP
applications. For SAP HANA and the SAP Business Technology Platform, additional tools are provided.

  Change and Transport System (CTS)

The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development
projects in ABAP Workbench and customizing, and then transport the changes between the
SAP systems in your system landscape. As well as ABAP objects, you can also transport non-
ABAP objects and non-SAP applications in your system landscape. 

More information is available on the CTS page.

  Enhanced Change and Transport System (CTS+)

The enhanced Change and Transport System enables you to transport non-ABAP objects, such
as Java objects and objects of 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 for ABAP.

The aim is to have one transport tool that supports all development workbenches and
applications. The tools for creating applications and content remain the same. The different
workbenches of the applications offer options to attach your objects to a CTS transport
request. The level of integration depends on the particular workbench and application.

In this way the enhanced Change and Transport System provides a unified transport tool and
makes the work of administrators easier when executing imports. You only need access to one
tool to execute imports for different backend systems. The deployment tools are called
automatically. CTS allows you to monitor imports and analyze errors. The import queues and
history in CTS give an overview of imports that have already been executed or which are
planned.

More information and links to detailed documentation for CTS+ and the applications that
support it is available on the page Enhanced Change and Transport System.

  SAP HANA / HALM

SAP HANA application lifecycle management (HALM) supports you in all phases of an SAP
HANA application lifecycle, from modeling your product structure, through application
development, transport, assemble, and install. 

With SAP HANA Transport for ABAP (HTA), you can synchronize objects and packages from
the SAP HANA repository to the SAP HANA Transport for ABAP repository (HTA repository) in
the ABAP system and add them to a transport request.

More information is available on the page SAP HANA / HALM in the area of CTS.

  SAP Business Technology Platform

In a cloud environment, you might want to transport changes from one account to another -
maybe also connected with on premise transports in hybrid landscapes.

More information is available on the page for SAP Business Technology Platform in the area of
CTS.
