Business Process Change Analyzer

Changes to the system, for example, Support Packages, customer developments or add-on installations can affect business processes. Business Process (BP) Change Analyzer compares the objects in a transport to the objects in the TBOMs of the target system. The Business Process Change Analyzer can get an object list for business functions, as well as objects in transports, and compare this object list with the objects in TBOMs. Since every TBOM is assigned to an executable entity in a scenario, business process or process step, you can determine which parts of a solution documentation are affected by the change.

You can use the test cases in the solution documentation to create test plans tailored to the changes.

Integration

You check the effects of changes on business processes after you have created a solution documentation.

Prerequisites

You have configured the business processes, and created a TBOM for every relevant executable entity.
