Hi Santo,

I have seen my BASIS consultant use cofiles and datafiles for transport between development and production systems at application server level without using STMS.

How these files are generated??

They are being written to the file system upon release of a transport request (except if it's a local request).

Hello,

Co Files and data files are transported along with the Transport request from one server to another.

Co Files contains the controlling data and data files contain the database details.

Thanks.
