•
Imports are done at once – activation is done as one
last step for all imports
The option to use AS JAVA and deploy via EJB is still
available
•

CTS+ - when to use AS JAVA, when not
Use CTS+ without AS JAVA:
•
If an AS ABAP with SAP NetWeaver 7.40 at least is available and can be used for CTS
!
SAP Solution Manager is not yet available on SAP NetWeaver 7.40
•
If CTS_PLUG SP14 can be installed on this system (from SL Toolset SP12)
•
Note: Plug-in distribution from SAP Solution Manager to managed systems is not possible if server
plug-in is plug-installed on managed system
Use CTS+ with AS JAVA
•
For all other applications
•
If SAP Solution Manager is the CTS+ System
Transport
Export File Formats
Export File Formats
ensures compatibility for the file used for transport (or export / import)
when objects go from an SAP HANA system of a particular reversion number to an SAP HANA
system of a different revision number
•
The
Export File Formats
are taken into consideration:
•
When exporting a Delivery Unit in
PRODUCTS
Delivery Units
you can choose the file format
•
When configuring CTS+, you can choose the export file format for the respective SAP HANA
system – this setting will then be used for every export
•
If you transport natively via HALM, the format that the target system needs is automatically
used (remember: with HALM you always start the transport request from the target system)
•
When you assemble via the command line tool (hdbalm) you can add the format as a
parameter
