SAP Term: Customizing Transfer Assistant

  • Component: BC-CUS-TOL-NAV

  • Component Name: Business Navigator

  • Description: A tool for checking the consistency of client-specific customizing changes. In a standard SAP system infrastructure, changes made in the development system are transported to the quality assurance system and then to the production system. To check the consistency of changes in the quality assurance system before transporting them to the production system, you first transfer them to an intermediate import client. You then start the Customizing Transfer Assistant in the quality testing client, and log on to the import client using Remote Function Call. Typically, you use the Customizing Transfer Assistant with other cross-system tools, such as the Customizing Cross-System Viewer.


Smart SAP Assistant

  • Key Concepts: 
    Customizing Transfer Assistant (CTA) is a tool within the Business Navigator component of SAP that allows users to transfer customizing settings from one system to another. It is used to transfer settings from a development system to a production system, or from one production system to another. CTA also allows users to compare customizing settings between two systems and identify any discrepancies. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use CTA, users must first create a transport request in the source system. This transport request contains all of the customizing settings that need to be transferred. Once the transport request is created, users can then use CTA to transfer the settings from the source system to the target system. CTA will then compare the settings in both systems and identify any discrepancies. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When using CTA, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary customizing settings are included in the transport request. If any settings are missing, they will not be transferred and could cause issues in the target system. Additionally, it is important to ensure that both systems are running the same version of SAP before attempting to transfer customizing settings.
