Organizations can create and deploy hundreds, if not thousands, of SAP transports every month. As solutions and landscapes grow more complex to meet demands for higher volumes of SAP change, faster than ever before, it can be difficult to know what is going on in your SAP systems.
Without some level of real-time automated transport control and change intelligence, it can be a massive challenge for SAP IT teams to prevent costly shutdowns.
SAP IT teams know even small changes carry the risk of accidental disruption, and the more complex the system, the greater the likelihood of unplanned downtime.
With 1000s of versions of custom code objects spread across your SAP landscape, the differences between your SAP systems grow, and system integrity weakens. In short, this puts your production system at risk.
Here at Revelation Software Concepts (RSC), we know (and understand) that without total visibility into your SAP systems, managing SAP change can be a challenge.
SAP changes and transports imported in the wrong sequence can disrupt the business. Or, in-progress development work can get forgotten or abandoned.
The Change Intelligence Solution
Rev-Trac Insights is a solution for organizations still using manual change processes, or who have a change management system but are considering adding intelligence (and deep visibility) to that system.
The SAP change intelligence solution has been part of the Rev-Trac family of products for many years but has just been modernized to help manage transports better.
The capability to now offer visibility from the transport layer down into the object and version layer provides significant value and comfort to all organizations running Rev-Trac Insights.
The Rev-Trac Insight suite now incorporates a Migration Workbench; Propagation, Chronological, and Comparison apps, in addition to Landscape Management apps, Developer Utility apps, and Object Repository apps.
Rev-Trac Insights’ comprehensive change intelligence into SAP custom code, transports, and system information allows organizations to catch problems before they become issues in production.
With the platform, SAP IT teams observe the real-time state of SAP systems from one place. Users can analyze, decide, and act on important system information, reducing the risk of errors or unscheduled interruptions significantly.
We have modernized the software platform to help organizations manage transports better. New apps provide transport managers and Basis users total visibility into the transport layer.
As a result, they can pre-empt problems that could threaten production system stability and blow out costs.
