- 12. “When our development environments get out of sync, it takes hours to find and fix all the discrepancies. There must be a better way!” “I have a transport with 1,000 lines of code. I need a quick way to see the difference between Production Support and Project Dev. “ “When retrofitting a bug fix to my development environment, I overwrote weeks worth of work and now my release is late.” 8/26/2019 SmartChange Suite – Synchronization Management Main pain points with manual synchronizations!
- 13. Workbench and Customizing changes Compares in real time Tracks the status of all objects and versions View differences in a split screen Automatically retrofit changes Record retrofit activity for audit and reporting Synchronization Management Module 8/26/2019 SmartChange Suite – Synchronization Management
- 14. Why Synchronization Management? • 5 box model Synchronization needed between DEV N and DEV N+1, because • Re-applying bug fixes ensures that bugs will not become alive again after release roll out • Re-applying all other object changes allows developers on DEV N+1 to operate on the most recent objects and thus becoming aware of e.g. interface changes as soon as possible Development Quality Assurance Production DEV N+1 QAS DEV N QAS PRD Bugfixing & Optimization Bugfixing & Optimization Sync November 20, 2013 8/26/2019

- 16. Details Export Analysis Categorization Recommendation 1 2 3 4 Every transport request that is exported from N (or imported into) DEV N, will be recognied automatically and queued for further processing … The objects of the queued transport requests will be analyzed with regard to wether they were also changed on DEV N+1 or not … Based on the analysis result, each object will be catgorized into critical / not critical … The final result is a recommendation for how to synchronize an object – via transport request from DEV N or manually … If all objects of a DEV N request can be synchronized via transport, this DEV N request can be applied to DEV N+1 with just 3 clicks. If only some of the objects of a DEV N request can be synchronized via transport, Synchronization Management allows to create a new transport request on DEV N, that only contains the „non-critical“ objects. Direct navigation for all objects into delta view & split screen illustration is also provided. 8/26/2019
- 17. What objects are covered? Workbench Objects •Full functionality for all versionable object types (A list of all versionable objects can be generated through report RSVCDI00) •For non versionable objects, we can check if the object only exist on one of the 2 DEV Systems. Currently, we cannot provide information about equalness… Customizing •Tables, Views, View Clusters and logical Objects are compared by adapting SAP‘s cross customizing viewer technology. This allows high performance comparision of mass data. •Comparision is done on table record level. 8/26/2019

Editor's Notes
- #16: 1) Export Keine Prozessänderung für die Entwickler von der Objektänderung bis zum Export 2) Automatische Analyse aller Workbench- und Customizing-Änderungen Die zuletzt exportierte Version auf DEV wird mit der aktiven Version auf DEV‘ verglichen. 3) Automatische Kategorisierung Jedes Objekt erhält einen Status, z.B. Objekt existiert nich auf DEV‘, Objekt wurde nur auf DEV geändert, Objekt wurde auf beiden Systemen geändert. 4) Empfehlung der optimalen Synchronisationsmethode Das Ergebnis der Kategorisierung ist eine Empfehlung, ob ein Objekt per Transport abgeglichen werden darf oder manuell abgeglichen werden sollte.
