Hi,

You could transport your objects from development server to Quality and Production by two ways as you had said

1. CMS transport

2. file system.

Please go through below explanation

1. CMS transport

Change Management Service (CMS) is the java counter part of R/3’ transport mechanism. CMS architecture is comparable to the classical R/3 transport in many ways. SAP maintains the same terminologies like Domain, Track, etc in CMS also. The architecture is also similar and is maintained by a dedicated CMS controller system.

CMS/Transport is important in an enterprise landscape because of the fact that the environment will be multi-layered, like for example, Development (DEV), Quality Assurance (QA) and Production (PROD). The most common pattern for the system landscape will be DEV-QA-PROD, though in some cases systems like Integration environment, Staging, etc will be present. Whichever the chosen pattern is, no rational enterprise will allow development activities and production code in the same system. So a defined mechanism for transferring the objects is required. In SAP R/3, transport facilitates this process.

2. file System

During the export, a packaged binary file is created in a directory defined on the repository server (or directory server). To import this file to another Integration Repository (or Integration Directory), you must manually copy it to an import directory (see below). You require the appropriate authorizations to be able to access directories on the SAP Web Application Server.
