Function documentationRisks

 

The Risks column in the changes overview shows the risks associated with transports in your change. This enables the quality manager to take action and react to critical situations appropriately.

Prerequisites

You have created a scenario with the data required for quality gate management.

Features

Before each phase or phase completion, the quality manager can assess whether all transports have been imported correctly into the next system, or whether measures must be undertaken to ensure that they do so.

To view the risks, proceed as follows:

  1. Open the scenario for which you want to review the risks by clicking the link in the Scenario column.

  2. Choose the link in the Risks column, or choose Start of the navigation path Scenario Transport Next navigation step Open Transport Risks End of the navigation path from the header area.

  3. The upper table shows the systems for which there is a risk. It contains the following information:

    Column

    Meaning

    System

    The logical system and client involved

    Risk Type

    The transport risk type (see below)

    Number of Risks

    The number of transport risks in this system

    Date/Time

    The date and time when the data was last read from the remote system.

  4. Choose a system.

    In the lower table, the transport requests for a risk type in this system are displayed.

    The following transport risk types may be displayed:

    Transport Risk Type

    Meaning

    Transport error (return code ≥ 8)

    If an error occurs when importing a transport request, the transport error is reported as a transport risk for this target system.

    Open transports

    If a transport request is not released, it is reported as an open transport for the source system.

    Missing transports

    This applies only to released transport requests. A released transport request is reported as a missing transport for a target system if it is supposed to be imported into this system (that is, it is already in the system queue) but has not been imported so far. Missing transports are calculated for the respective system track but are not reported for the source system.

    Synchronization errors

    Refers to transports that did not run synchronously (for example, synchronization errors in scenarios with more than one export system)
