Hey

both are two completely different tools,Solman(solution manager) is used for project designing,it provides some inbuild Road-maps for project development as well as has functionality to develop your own,you can have naming conventions,various development standards,planning and management done in Solman.

CTS is used for transporting.

In one of my earlier client we used Solman for all project development standards,creating technical specifications and functional specifications but used File system for transport(you will use CTS here)

Thanx

Hi,

search on SDN u will get more helpful answers.

Solution manager is a tool which is used for maintaing a project related documents.

refer the below link:

CTS is the change and transport system used to transport Xi objects.

refer the bleow link for more detail:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80bbbd55-5004-2a10-f181-8bb09692...

The XI use case for CTS+ introduces a new transport handling mechanism that offers tighter integration for the transport of ABAP, Java, and Integration Builder objects (Integration Repository and Integration Directory) using the Change and Transport System (BC-CTS) functionality.

As your XI system requires both the ABAP and the Java stack of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server, the following transport tools are available after installation:

The ABAP transport environment (BC-CTS)

The file export and import mechanisms or CMS integration to transport Repository or Directory objects in your transport landscape

In addition, you might also have to transport Java development objects by using the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure itself.

The enhancements to CTS in combination with the SAP Solution Manager Change Request Management (ChaRM) address the following issues:

Synchronized transports for mixed systems (ABAP & Java)

A unified application for mixed system landscapes

Tracking of non-ABAP transports including Change Request Management

For your XI landscapes there will be one central transport environment with CTS+ where you can manage all XI-relevant transport objects from a single entry point.

Thank you very much for your answer, but in term of transport management, which should I use to ease the management of the transports between systems ?

Hi,

like Chirag has written:

> Solution manager is a tool which is used for maintaing a project related documents.

> CTS is the change and transport system used to transport Xi objects.

This should answer your question:

> which should I use to ease the management of the transports between systems ?

Go for CTS to transport XI objects...

Or what do you want to transport?
