Revelation Software Concepts (RSC), a pioneer and market leader in simplifying change control for SAP® solutions, today announced a new integration between its Salt change intelligence software and the Overtake and Overwrite Protection System (OOPS) within the company’s flagship change control automation software Rev-Trac.
OOPS detects and blocks conflicting transport collisions before they occur. The integration with Salt’s Match Box application now provides a side-by-side process comparison in the form of an OOPS Object 'Diff' analysis of any workbench objects. The ‘Diff’ report highlights specific differences between conflicting objects, allowing the IT change team to make exception decisions and highlight any subsequent corrective action that may be required to eliminate conflicts.
“Our vision of enabling true Salt change intelligence to play a key part in the change control process in SAP software is now being realized,” said David Drake, CEO and Founder of RSC. “This is a true integration within the broader change control decision-making process and represents the first in a series of planned integrations between Salt change intelligence and the larger change control process, in RSC’s product roadmap.”
The Match Box-OOPS integration launches a Salt Match Box-originated ‘Diff’ report upon request whenever an OOPS alert is triggered by the Rev-Trac migration process. This allows any out-of-sequence migration, downgrade or conflict retrofit to be compared side-by-side, which greatly facilitates conflict resolution. Some examples in the wide range of potential use cases include:
- Retrofit facilitation
- Prevents production downgrades by emergency changes
- Go-live with parallel tracks
All of Revelation Software Concepts change-related solutions have achieved SAP-certified integration with SAP NetWeaver® running on SAP HANA®.
