Onapsis On Change Control: Secure and Simplify Your SAP Change Management Process

Empower Your Team With Automated Scans Displaying Detailed Findings 

Custom code is a key element of digital transformation projects, such as new development for RISE with SAP or ABAP code “clean up” and migration for SAP S/4 HANA. Organizations must identify vulnerabilities within the development cycle before they reach production. However, a large number of system changes, the volume of code, and multiple systems make this challenging. The volume of change documents and number of approvers can be difficult to manage. 

Approval teams don’t always see the whole picture. Teams cannot easily vet changes at the code or transport finding level to identify potential vulnerabilities and their impact. Information is kept in email or shared drives by the development and testing team and not shared with everyone in the approval process. The pressure to meet project deadlines can lead to approvals without thorough scrutiny of code findings and cause production risk. 

Onapsis On Change Control solves this challenge by integrating a detailed security scanning and approval tool into SAP Change Request Management (ChaRM). Detailed findings about ABAP code and transport changes can be viewed and significant issues can prevent the change document from advancing to the next stage in the process. Approval groups can be created and assigned to review finding level transport and code changes. Automatic notifications can be configured to ensure specific approvers have been informed and sign off on impact. Detailed communication is captured and stored at the finding level detail about each change. If production errors occur, a change document can be searched within CHaRM and the entire process and justification for that specific change can be reviewed.

Approve Code Changes With Confidence

  • Understand ABAP code and transport detailed-level findings before executing changes and prevent production risk 
  • Ensure appropriate, thorough approvals are obtained from relevant roles prior to production release 

Accelerate Your Change Management Process 

  • Enable better collaboration between release managers, security teams, and developers with embedded access to ABAP code and transport change documentation 
  • Reduce time spent waiting for approvers and reviewers with automatic notifications 

Integrate Seamlessly With Your SAP Environment 

  • Leverage your existing tools for change management using integration with SAP ChaRM and SAP Solution Manager
  • Empower your team by enhancing their existing processes to run release approval of findings, from one single view, across the whole SAP ABAP landscape.
