Loading ABAP programs by using CTS

The ABAP stage supports the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) to load the program. The program is loaded by using a CTS request. When a program is loaded by using the CTS request, it allows secure redeployment of the packaged ABAP program, for example between the development, Quality Assuarance and production SAP systems. If you have existing programs that were uploaded by using CTS, they can be modified by using a new CTS request number.
