The administration cockpit provides a central entry point to all administrative activities for Change Control Management. The following tab pages are available:
Task Lists
(Change Request Management only)
On this tab page, you can execute operational and background activities for distributing software in your system landscape, for example, handling change cycles, task lists, and import scheduling.
Landscape Overview
You can display information about the managed systems contained in the logical component groups that are connected to Change Request Management, and/or Quality Gate Management (QGM), via the solution landscape (transaction SLAN
) or the change control landscape assignment. Each managed system in the logical component groups is listed along with the communication systems.
Critical Objects
You can define and edit critical transport objects.
Cross-System Object Locks
On this tab page, you can manage cross-system object lock entries. You can display lock entries according to defined criteria, remove them or register lock entries for transport requests that are managed by Change Request Management or Quality Gate Management.
Transport Analysis
(Change Request Management only)
You can analyze the transport requests in your landscape in different views.
Search
You can search for various objects based on your search criteria. You can also do a full-text search.
Depending on your authorizations, the system displays search results, for example, change transactions. You can navigate from the search directly to the transactions in the WebClient UI.
