Enhanced CTS & Java Transports

From which SAP NetWeaver release and support-package level did the Change and Transport System gain the ability to transport non-ABAP objects such as Java applications?

A transport mechanism has an export part and an import part. In a CTS landscape, which of the two is the system administrator's job, and which belongs to the developer?

Before the enhanced CTS, admins already had working ABAP and Java transport tools. What key control problem remained that CTS+ was built to solve?

After enabling CTS+, which role in the organization becomes responsible for managing the transports of Java, Portal, PI and SLD content?

During a CTS+ import that contains both ABAP and Java objects, what actually deploys the Java part, and how does the ABAP side reach it?

A CM Services setup distinguishes three system roles. What are they, and why is the CTS system not the same box as the NWDI system?

When developing your own software components in the SAP component model, why can't you skip having an SLD, and where does it come from?

When wiring CTS to NWDI, the RFC destination CTSCONFIG (CTS system to NWDI system) is not an ordinary RFC connection. What connection type is it, and why two logical ports?

In the activity-based SDA transport scenario, two tp parameters look almost identical: WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY and WBO_REL_REQ_STRATEGY. What does each control and what are their allowed values?

Reading a transport route diagram in STMS on the CTS system, how do you tell a consolidation route from a delivery route, and which one carries the transport layer?

With the SCA transport type via CM Services, which systems in the transport route need a development configuration?

Activity transport and activity-based SDA transport both start from activities in NWDS. What is attached to the request in each, and how does import behavior differ?

How many systems can a classic CMS track hold, and what stages do they represent?

If you keep the older CMS but still want central control, at what point in the CMS process does CTS+ take over, and who signs off?

For a CM Services landscape, which system does SAP recommend as the central CTS system, and where should CM Services themselves run?

During a CTS+ import, what is the chain of jobs that gets a Java deployable from tp onto the AS Java, and what must stay open the whole time?

During import, what extra processing happens on a system that has a development configuration that does not happen on one without?

In a CTS transport log file named like PODT901234.POQ, the fourth character (here T) encodes the action. What action does T stand for?

The activity transport type (as of EhP1 for NW 7.0) transports single activities as DIP files for fast delta transports. What is its major operational cost across the landscape?

Can CMS and CM Services coexist in the same NWDI installation, and if so, what is the boundary you cannot cross?

Deployment to the runtime uses SDM on older AS Java and the Deploy Controller on newer ones. For each, where is the deployment password defined?

When using CM Services, why must the development system be configured as both a source and a target, when intuitively a DEV system is where changes originate?

You need to change tp's behavior for a CTS+ scenario by setting tp parameters. In which transaction and on which system are they maintained?

With CM Services replacing CMS, how are the two former CMS jobs split between CTS+ and CM Services, and what does that remove from the Java side?

Both CTSDEPLOY and CTSDEPLOY_DI call a CTS Deploy Web Service. What is the difference between which service each one reaches?
