SAP Transport Management

  • Transport Backout/ Rollback

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
