This is part 4 of a blog on Solution Manager 7.1 SP5, this time covering Change Control based on an ASUG webcast given by John Krakowski, SAP.  The usual disclaimer applies that things are subject to change.

If you want to reassign changes from one project to another, this is planned in SP5

Also the option to decouple transports from change documents – you can add existing transports to change documents

Existing customers know that Change Request reporting occurs today via transaction /TMWFLOW/REPORTINGN. 

Reporting changes include predefined KPI’s based on BW and dashboards for change request management.

Figure 4 shows downgrade protection to receive warnings; this will help in ensuring you have the right sequence of transports before you import into your systems.

Figure 5 shows  that you can simulate transport before production import via a guided procedure.  This will help identify errors, transport sequences, etc.

Figure 6 shows that you will be able to process change requests from your mobile device for iOS only in initial roll-out.

It will be limited to the approval of the change document.

I am most excited about the transport simulation; something I had wanted for many years.  What are you looking forward to with the Solution Manager Change Request 7.1 SP5 features?
