Introduction
SAP CTS+ (Change and Transport System Plus) is an advanced tool for managing the transport of software configurations and changes across different environments within an IT landscape.
Key Features of the CTS+ Integration in MediationZone
Flexible Import Configuration: You can import configurations (regular configuration exports and workflow packages) to any system using SAP CTS+. The imports Imports can be set configured to originate from any all source systems or a selection of specific source systemsselected few. Allowed source systems are specified in the System Parameter mz.sourcesystems.
...
‘Loose Coupling’ for Exports: Exports from source systems are not triggered using CTS+. They are produced using the regular System Export UI, then presented to CTS+ using “loose coupling”. Please refer to CTS+ User Documentation for more information.

Preparing a System Export for CTS+
The export procedure is done handled in CTS+ using the “loose coupling” mechanism in CTS+. Meaning, you do approach. This means you first perform the export as usual in the source system, then manually make it available to CTS+ manually.
Verify that your export will be possible to use/import in can be imported into other systems.; : the source/ export system’s name must be present in added to the target/ import system’s System Property ‘System Property’,
mz.sourcesystems. Please refer to (LINK TO SYS PARAM USER DOC).Create your System Export using : Use the System Export UI or command line interface commands.
Make the System Export available to CTS+. Please refer to CTS+ User Documentation for more information. This System Export can then be used for imports to target systems using : See the steps outlined in the CTS+ documentation at the https://help.sap.com/ for more information. Once the export is made available to CTS+, it can be used for importing into target systems via the CTS+ API.
Note!
When
...
setting up your configurations and system exports,
...
remember that the
...
entire content of an export will be imported
...
into the target system.
...
Therefore we recommend to:
Use External References (LINK TO EXT REF USER DOC) when configuring variables that are local for a system. This way, configurations will be valid for both source and target systems, and only the External References will be system-specific.
Restrict the exports to contain only the use cases you want to import
...
into other systems.
System Imports triggered via CTS+
The full contents When triggering a system import using CTS+, keep in mind that the entire content of an export will always be imported to a into the target system.
Verify that the export will be possible to import to can be imported into the target systems.; the source/: The export system’s name must be present in added to the target/ import system’s System Property ‘System Property’,
mz.sourcesystems. Please refer to (LINK TO SYS PARAM USER DOC).Make sure you have there are valid (local) External References present in /for the target system.
Trigger the import via the CTS+ API. Please refer to CTS+ User Documentation : See the steps outlined in the CTS+ documentation at https://help.sap.com/ for more information.
