Key new features include no longer requiring an AS Java system for content transport using CTS+, improved user interfaces, changelists replacing changes, and the hdbalm tool replacing HLM for application installation.

Transport CTS+ without AS JAVA for SAP HANA
You can now use a CTS+ System without AS JAVA for transporting SAP HANA Content
•Transport is done via HTTP
•Imports are done at once – activation is done as one last step for all imports
The option to use AS JAVA and deploy via EJB is still available
•Transport is done via Deploy Web Service
•Files are imported one by one – activation is done after each import

Transport CTS+ - when to use AS JAVA, when not
Use CTS+ without AS JAVA:
•If an AS ABAP with SAP NetWeaver 7.40 at least is available and can be used for CTS
!SAP Solution Manager is not yet available on SAP NetWeaver 7.40
•If CTS_PLUG SP14 can be installed on this system (from SL Toolset SP12)
•Note: Plug-in distribution from SAP Solution Manager to managed systems is not possible if server plug- in is installed on managed system Use CTS+ with AS JAVA
•For all other applications
•If SAP Solution Manager is the CTS+ System
•This option is available for SAP HANA with SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SPS05 / SL Toolset 1.0 SP04

Transport Export File Formats
Export File Formats ensures compatibility for the file used for transport (or export / import) when objects go from an SAP HANA system of a particular reversion number to an SAP HANA system of a different revision number
•The Export File Formats are taken into consideration:
•When exporting a Delivery Unit in PRODUCTS  Delivery Units you can choose the file format
•When configuring CTS+, you can choose the export file format for the respective SAP HANA system – this setting will then be used for every export
•If you transport natively via HALM, the format that the target system needs is automatically used (remember: with HALM you always start the transport request from the target system)
•When you assemble via the command line tool (hdbalm) you can add the format as a parameter
•See SAP Note 1984354 for details
