Happy New Year and welcome to our first issue of SAP Change Control
e-News for 2011.
I do trust you are looking forward to an exciting and productive year, I know here at Revelation Software Concepts (RSC) we certainly are.
Unfortunately, for many others in Australia the year hasn’t started well with unprecedented flooding in much of the north east including Brisbane, Australia’s third largest city with flood waters impacting an area the size of France and Germany combined. To assist in the recovery, individuals and business have contributed to the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal to the tune of over $145 million so far.
RSC will also donate $50 to the Queensland Disaster Relief Appeal for every Salt installation registered by February 14th, both Free and Paid versions. For more information, click here.

Rev-Trac Service Pack 3 is Now Released
The Rev-Trac Support Team at RSC are excited to announce the release of Service Pack 3 for Rev-Trac 6.0.
The new service pack focuses on enhancing change process visibility and control, via enhanced early error detection enabling IT teams to identify and correct potential problems before moving transports forward in the change process and via enhanced change request management methods.
Two key service pack improvements are:
- OOPS can now test change transports for overtakes, overwrites and collisions before they are migrated
-
A Master Rev-Trac request can now have “child” requests attached enabling the grouping of like requests for easier sign off and promotion
More information can be found in the Press Release or via the Support area of the RSC website.
