Pros and cons for transport management in XI

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

Among the several tools proposed by SAP to manage transports (File Export, import tool, CMS and CMS tracks, CTS+), do you know have any pros and cons from SAP as to what is the preferred approach, the industry learnings...? What is better to use and in which case ?

Thanks a lot in advance, any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Jamal

HI

Change Transport system (CTS)

The CTS is the central tool for managing changes to Customizing and Repository data that you make in the ABAP
