ActiveControl Integrations

DevOps Technology That Integrates SAP Into Your IT Toolchain

ActiveControl supports two-way integration with many common enterprise solutions used for change management, documentation, DevOps and more.

ITSM & Change Management Solutions

Standardizing on a single ITSM solution for consolidating change, approvals and audit history benefits many enterprises. Adding ActiveControl for the management of SAP specific change doesn’t have to mean disruption – in fact, most ActiveControl customers integrate and use external ITSM tools.

When ActiveControl participates in the change request and management process, generally requirements and approvals are managed in the ITSM tool, and SAP specific actions including transport movement and analysis are managed by ActiveControl. It will reflect the full, real-time audit and action history of SAP specific tasks and status to the ITSM system, where centralized reporting for all changes, SAP and outside SAP, remain available to the enterprise.

Solutions in this space commonly integrated with ActiveControl:

SAP Change Management Tools

It’s not unusual to find that an organization wants to keep using SAP’s own tools for various SAP-related tasks – maintaining business process documentation, for example – while adopting a best-in-class solution like ActiveControl to manage SAP change. In some cases the optimal solution may even be to use a combination of SAP’s own-brand and third-party tooling for change control.

ActiveControl has you covered either way, integrating with SAP Solution Manager, SAP Change Request Management (ChaRM) and a variety of SAP-specific development tools such as ABAP Unit and Code Inspector (now part of ABAP Test Cockpit).

DevOps Tooling and Automation

Modern software development practice is highly automated, with tooling to provide automatic testing, integration, delivery and more for the developer and the business. There’s no reason SAP need be excluded from the transformation in software development practice, so bringing DevOps to SAP is at the heart of ActiveControl.

Solutions in the DevOps space encompass source code editing and version control tools, outside-SAP build and integration automation, provisioning and delivery solutions, and many other smaller utilities common in today’s DevOps practices. ActiveControl provides many of these same features and capabilities inside SAP and gives you the means to integrate SAP with the open-source and best-of-breed solutions adopted by your enterprise across the rest of the DevOps toolchain.

Solutions in this space commonly integrated with ActiveControl:

Web and Cloud Development

Web-based interfaces are becoming increasingly important in the SAP ecosystem, particularly for newer SaaS products. This, combined with the introduction of ‘SAP Cloud Platform, ABAP Environment’ – allowing teams to develop and run ABAP applications in the cloud – means that an appropriate development environment is required.

ActiveControl integrates with the Eclipse-powered SAP Web IDE to support these new ways of working:

Agile Backlog Management

Enterprises adopt agile methodologies to improve project focus, deliver iteratively, shorten release cycle times, and many other advantages. Part of adopting agile practices includes integrating backlog management – your user stories and requirements – with change control. Especially in sensitive environments, the integrated requirements, current status and audit history work together to document functional delivery to the enterprise.

Solutions in this space commonly integrated with ActiveControl:

S/4HANA Transition

The challenge of keeping concurrent ECC and S/4HANA systems in sync as your business transitions to S/4 is significant. ActiveControl’s sophisticated ‘dual maintenance’ features support selective, automated merge and deployment of transports across ECC and S/4 systems, allow bespoke approval workflows via a powerful Rules Engine and provide the means to identify code that must be updated to work successfully on S/4. However, the code remediation process must be managed manually or by other tools.

ActiveControl integrates with external code remediation tools to accelerate S/4HANA transition:

Document Management

Central solutions are often used to store and manage documents from across the enterprise, including those related to software development, but aligning SAP change processes with this approach has traditionally required yet more manual effort. ActiveControl provides the means to connect your SAP workflows with external document management tools so you can automatically store, update or delete all of your change-related documents in the same place.

ActiveControl integrates with external document management solutions to streamline change and release workflows, increase visibility and reduce compliance effort.

Integration Options

ActiveControl provides a wide range of integration options to support whatever approach you wish to take when connecting SAP development to your wider IT toolchain.

Open APIs

With ActiveControl’s open APIs you can develop integrations that suit your exact business needs, for example via enterprise-wide middleware platforms like TIBCO or Mulesoft. The most customizable way to connect.

Node-RED Framework

Node-RED, an open source flow-based programming tool, features a browser-based editor that makes it easier for users to create, configure and customize integrations between ActiveControl and compatible tools like Microsoft Azure DevOps or GitHub.
