ABAP Transport Management in Practice

A practical guide to the Transport Management System in ABAP-based SAP S/4HANA landscapes: domains, controllers, transport layers and routes, workbench and customizing requests, import queues and sequencing, transports of copies, and the return codes and failures that quietly invalidate testing. Built around Contoso Motor Co.'s three-system landscape and its release manager's weekly routine.
