SAP Change Control: Why Automation is the Only Way to Go
Key learning points include:
- Why SAP change control is becoming increasingly challenging and what the surrounding key issues to consider are;
- How the understanding and implementation of best practice change control is indeed a money saver and risk reducer and very possibly a 'bacon' saver; and
- What the use of third-party SAP change control solutions to automate change control can bring to the table and why automation is really the only way to go in today's complex SAP environments.

Rev-Trac Features and Functions
Overtake and Overwrite Protection System (OOPS)
What are overtaking and overwriting?
Overwriting occurs when you import a transport that obliterates all or part of the
contents of another, more recently released transport that is already present in the system.
The over-written object or data is left in an unintended state.
Overtaking occurs when you import a transport before another transport that contains a previous version of the same object or data.
Overtaking may not immediately damage an object or data, but creates a potentially dangerous situation.
If the overtaken transport is subsequently imported, it will overwrite the changes introduced by the chronologically later transport, thus potentially damaging objects or data they have in common.
