Regular System Exports and Workflow Packages can be managed using the CTS+ Integration. Development Toolkit bundles are not part of the integration.

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

Regular System Exports and Workflow Packages can be managed using the CTS+ Integration. Development Toolkit bundles are not part of the integration.

Flexible Import Configuration: You can import configurations (regular configuration exports and workflow packages) to any system using SAP CTS+. Imports can be configured to originate from all source systems or a selected 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 export step and the CTS+ transport are handled separately. The System Export is done independently meaning that you would trigger the exports via the regular System Export UI, then presented or by using mxsh/mzcli commands and then provide them to CTS+ using “loose coupling”for import.

  1. Verify that your export can be imported into other systems: the export system’s name must be added to the import system’s ‘System Property’, mz.sourcesystems. Please refer to (LINK TO SYS PARAM USER DOC). https://infozone.atlassian.net/wiki/x/8BVCD

  2. Create your System Export: Use the System Export UI or command line interface commands.

  3. Make the System Export available to CTS+: 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, see https://infozone.atlassian.net/wiki/x/7AozD. 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.

  2. Make sure there are valid (local) External References in the target system

  3. Trigger the import via the CTS+ API: See the steps outlined in the CTS+ documentation at https://help.sap.com/ for more information.

  4. Verify Configuration Source: To check the source of any configuration, view the Properties UI. In the History tab, the Comment column will display:

    • LOG: Imported from <export file>

    • CTS+ Transport ID: <CTS+ ID>

    • SOURCE SYSTEM: <mz.name / mzexport.mzname>

    • ORIGINAL COMMENT: <original comment>

  5. Clean Up Unused Configurations (Optional): Manually remove unused configurations from the target system.
