Function documentationChange Control Landscapes

 

A change control landscape is the part of your complete system landscape that can be controlled by change request management. This is helpful when there is no need to control the complete solution but only parts of it. The change control landscape consists of a combination of logical component groups that you can define and maintain on the Change Control Landscapes tab for your selected solution in the Solution Administration.

Activities

Create a Change Control Landscape

On the Change Control Landscapes tab, call the context menu on any place in the empty change control landscape table and select New. The systems opens the dialog Create Change Control Landscape in which you can enter the name and the technical name of your new change control landscape. The technical name is a unique name for solutions and change control landscapes. Confirm your entries with Ok. Your new change control landscape appears in the table on the left hand side and can be selected. A table with the assigned logical component groups of the solution appears on the right hand side.

Edit a Change Control Landscape

Call the context menu on the change control landscape you want to change and choose the entry Change. The system opens the Change Control Landscapes tab on which you can change the name and the technical name. However, be careful when you change the technical name of a change control landscape that is already used in authorization objects. Doing so could impact existing authorizations for users.

Delete a Change Control Landscape

Call the context menu on the change control landscape you want to delete and choose the entry Delete and confirm the warning popup.

Scoping of Logical Component Groups

The table on the right hand side (displayed as soon as a change control landscape is selected) shows all logical component groups which belongs to the solution to which the change control landscape belongs to.

You can add logical component groups to the scope of a change control landscape by checking the Scope checkbox. Note that this checkbox is only visible if the table filter All is selected.

You can remove logical component groups from the scope of a change control landscape by unchecking the Scope checkbox or by selecting the context menu entry Remove from Scope. Note that this context menu entry is only available if the table filter In Scope is selected.
