Key Features of ActiveControl
Automated Deployment
Automate manual release processes in SAP ECC, S/4HANA, and BTP to help your team spend time on other valuable tasks.
- Automatically import SAP transports after approval instead of relying on the manual intervention of the Basis team.
- Orchestrate deployments so cross-system dependencies and activities are all automatically managed by ActiveControl.
- Get analysis of the best time to deploy your changes to keep your systems and operations safe.
Automated Sequencing
Significantly reduce the risk of change failure by removing human error from transport sequencing workflows.
- Always get transports in the right order by automatically managing overtakes, overwrites, and dependencies.
- SAP transports are automatically sequenced based on release date and time.
- Guarantee that the order your transports are imported into production is identical to the development and test import sequence.
Multi-track Development
Empower your SAP teams to work on business as usual and transformation projects in parallel.
- ActiveControl dynamically manages change contention and removes overwrites, overtakes and regression scenarios across parallel landscapes (including N+1 or N+N environments).
- Supports major transformations including on-prem to private cloud (or hybrid), HANA DB and S/4HANA and ensures that the relevant changes are distributed and kept in sync throughout.
75+ Analyzers
Leverage over 75 automated analyzers to detect and prevent errors, ensuring compliance and governance.
- Includes checks on approvals, object failure, conflict management, import order, and much more.
- The analyzers catch any potential issues that could easily be missed if done manually, ensuring that you can deliver changes with confidence that all due dilligence has been covered.
Approvals & Audits
Set up approval and audit workflows that work with your unique organization.
- Our approvals engine lets you configure mandatory approvers for each step in the change process and delegate approvals to the right person at the right time.
- Automate approvals at key points in your process so changes are automatically progressed if no issues are found.
- Every movement of your changes is tracked, including approvals, so you can instantly generate audit-ready reports.
Backout
Backout provides the ultimate insurance policy to downtime — the ability to roll-back changes from production in minutes.
- Backout lets you restore production systems to their pre-import state, reversing your changes immediately without having to re-develop, test and approve fixes.
- It is possible to roll-back changes to preproduction systems — such as test or training environments.
- You can also roll-back all changes within an import or a subset of problematic changes.
