What is SAP R/3 Transport Management System (TMS)
In distributed SAP systems environments, the Change and Transport Organizers use the Transport Management System for managing, controlling, copying, or moving, in an orderly manner, the development objects or customization settings among different SAP systems. This process is usually performed between the systems used for development and testing and the productive systems, using predefined transport routes. The transport process consists in exporting objects out of the source R3 system and importing them into the R3 target system.
Transport tools at the operating system level.
The actual transport process is performed at the operating system level using the transport tools. These tools are part of the R3 kernel and include the program R3trans and the transport control program tp. The TMS is linked to those programs so that R3 allows transports (exports and imports) to be performed within the system using RFC calls.
