Change and Transport
System
The CTS is the central tool for managing
changes to customizing and repository data that we make in the IMG or ABAP
workbench.A Tansport request can be either customizing request or ABAP workbench request.
ABAP workbench request.
An ABAP workbench request can be created
by ABAP workbench tool. Any changes or objects we develop through ABAP
workbench are stored in Repository tables of SAP database.
As an ABAP developer will be working with ABAP workbench and
thus you create work bench requests.
Customizing request
A customizing request can be created by the customizing tool
IMG.
A functional consultant works with configuration tool IMG (SAP
Implementation Guide) T-code SPRO, thus creating customizing requests.
Transport organizer: Transation Code SE10
Transport organizer is the tool provided by SAP which
records and documents all changes to objects in the repository and customizing.
The transaction code for transport organizer is SE10 or SE09.
Transport organizer is fully integrated with ABAP workbench
and customizing tool IMG. That means you can navigate in both directions from
transport organizer to ABAP workbench and reverse also.
Development class:
Development classes are used to group similar work objects
that are being developed in a project.
While creating development class we must assign it to the
transport layer.
All the objects assigned to that development class can be
transported according to the routes defined in the transport layer.
Defining transport layer and routes is SAP BASIS administrator
job. The transport layer defines transport
route between the systems included in system landscape.
The development classes are themselves objects in the ABAP
workbench.
