Enhancing User Experience & Efficiency in SAP Change Management with Rev-Trac Platinum 8.3.6
The Rev-Trac Platinum 8.3.6 Release delivers high-impact usability enhancements, helping SAP teams streamline change management, reduce risks, and improve productivity.
The release is focused on extending our BTP change management capabilities while improving the user experience with some of the most requested enhancements from our customers, consultants, and partners.
These updates reflect Rev-Trac’s ongoing commitment to providing an efficient and consistent SAP change management experience. Read about these new features below, or watch the release video to see them in action:
As BTP adoption increases and change management preferences evolve, Rev-Trac is committed staying ahead of customer demand. As a result, Rev-Trac now seamlessly integrates with CTMS landscapes using virtual nodes.
With the latest release, organisations can now develop in SAP BTP using tools like Eclipse or SAP BTP Build Work Zone—without relying on traditional SAP development systems. Instead, they can use a ‘virtual development node’ to maintain transport routes while ensuring smooth development and deployment processes. With this release, Rev-Trac extends its monitoring and change management capabilities to these virtual landscapes, giving you complete visibility and control.
We’ve also made configuring CTMS integration is now more flexible than ever. Instead of relying on fixed, hardcoded instance names, you can now define optional names for CTMS instances—giving you greater control and adaptability.
To ensure seamless orchestration of SAP change management processes, Rev-Trac now notifies relevant users when an integration event fails to execute successfully.
Many of the world’s largest SAP customers rely on Rev-Trac’s enforcement engine as the central point of orchestration for their ALM toolset. This new error alert feature keeps users informed, accelerates issue diagnosis, and prevents delays in change delivery and release schedules.
Rev-Trac now offers the ability to run Peripheral Object Dependency System (PODS) and Code Impact Scoring System (CISS) checks as a background task, improving efficiency in complex SAP environments.
The PODS and CISS pre-release checks provide valuable insight into potential migration or deployment errors before they occur. For large SAP environments with millions of objects to cross reference, these checks can be time-consuming. By allowing background execution, users can continue other tasks while the checks run, minimising downtime.
Users can now execute PODS and CISS checks directly from the SAP GUI, eliminating the need to switch interfaces.
Previously, these checks were only available in Rev-Trac WebCore. With this update, developers can perform dependent object checks and impact assessments directly within the SAP GUI, improving workflow efficiency.
Rev-Trac’s critical object validation has been shifted earlier in the process, improving risk management and efficiency.
Critical object checks now run at the Rev-Trac Request enforcement screen, notifying users immediately if a transport contains critical objects. This “shift-left” approach ensures transports are assigned to the correct, authorised workflow at the earliest stage, reducing errors and rework.
Rev-Trac now supports seamless integration with all major user management and access solutions.
Large enterprises often use automated user provisioning systems like SAP GRC to manage access centrally. With this release, Rev-Trac can synchronise SAP security roles with Rev-Trac user profiles and organisational structures. Tools such as Saviynt and SailPoint can also automatically generate Rev-Trac users, update access, or remove inactive users, ensuring accurate and compliant access control.
A small but highly requested enhancement—Rev-Trac WebCore now displays a numbered indicator on the Reference and Attachment tabs when an attachment is present.
This update ensures important information is not overlooked, improving visibility and accessibility of attached documentation.
