Track configuration for SCA deployment to QA

Question

Hello Community,
I have a 4 system landscape (EPD, EPQ, EPS, EPP) and a NWDI System (JDI).  At the moment there is a track configured as follows:
u2022     DEV = EPD
u2022     CON = EPQ
u2022     TEST = EPS
u2022     PROD = EPP
I would like to use CTS to deploy the assembled SCA file instead of CMS, and it is desirable for the request to originate from EPD then import into EPQ.  Does this require the use of the u201Cdevelopment system onlyu201D flag for direct deployment to QA rather than consolidating before assembly?
Kind Regards,
Zach

Hello Sheryas,
I've commented on your helpful comments.  Thank you!!

All systems in the domain controller (sid: CTS) are non-abap systems, and EPD is the source system.  D->Q->S->P is the configured route.
> 1) You need to configure the track only with the Development as the only Runtime system selected, that will contain the information of your EPD.
The track will only have a Development Runtime System configured.  However, this does not require checking the "Development System only."

Assuming the CTS system (domain controller, nwdi, and non-abap systems) are configured correctly, I can register EPD as the upload system.  This will place the released transport into EPQ's import queue.
