Announcing ReleaseOwl Winter’23

SAP Transport Management

• Transport Backout/ Rollback
  You can now back out/roll back transports deployed to any environment (including production) effortlessly.

  You can assign transports (either created in ReleaseOwl or in your SAP system) to user stories from Jira / Azure DevOps / ServiceNow
• ABAP Visual Comparator
  Graphically compare ABAP versions of an Object across the SAP landscape

Lifecycle Management

• Promote a Jira/Azure DevOps user story / Transport independently across the SAP landscape.

Release Pipelines

• You can add a “Validation Task” to your Release Pipeline.
  (Transport Dependencies, ATC checks, SonarQube, ABAPUnit, CPILint etc.,)
• The “Wait for Promotion” task holds a release pipeline in the current stage.
  (Let’s say QA is signed off completely, but the pipeline needs to wait before kicking off the tasks defined for production deployment)
• Stop on failure
  You can stop and reset the pipeline to the beginning of a particular stage in case a validation task results in errors.

SAP CPI

• With the CPI Unit Testing Generation framework – you can now generate unit tests for SAP CPI (Integration Suite) applications with few inputs.
• You can configure CPI Governance Rules with the Rule Editor
• You can register SAP CPI environments with Oauth
