Can anyone summirize what is the close coupling in CTS+?

I read a lot about CTS+.
I think if the the Transport Organizer Web UI is a standalone system, it is a loose
coupling scenario.  Otherwise, it would be a close coupling scenario.
Can some body help compare them?
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
Loose Coupling and Close Coupling (or tight integration) describe the relation between the TMS system and the application on the export side.
Close coupling means that you can find mechanisms within an application (e.g. SAP NetWeaver Portal or SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure to attach a transportable object (e.g. epa, sda,...) to a transport request on the CTS system.
Loose coupling means that the application does not provide a direct integration mechanism. You would start an export within the application, download the export result and attach it manually to a transport request via the Transport organizer Web UI by uploading it again.
In most cases, the import is done automatically. This means that when importing a queue TMS calls the deployment tool of an application and hands over the files. The import is done automatically; no administrator's interaction is required. In some cases, the exported file is delivered to a designated destination and the import itself needs to be done manually. This is the case for a KM Documents' import by today. SAP Master Data Management plans to offer a CTS+ integration with MDM 7.1 as well - this integration also requires a manual import.
