BW Transport Tracker

SAP’s Change Transport System (CTS) is the golden standard when it comes to migrating customization and configuration changes from one client/system to another. Often, multiple changes need to be migrated in a specific sequence, due to dependencies that are not always obvious. This requires tighter coordination between developers, systems administrators and IT managers all the time. Ensuring perfect coordination is a challenging task, especially when enterprises distribute development activities across geographies.

For these reasons, organizations require a comprehensive transport reporting tool that enables easy administration, tracking and real time monitoring of the entire change transport system.

Visual BI’s BW Transport Tracker is an end-to-end solution that fulfills the above needs and streamlines the transport management process.
