Introduction

Welcome to the ActiveControl 7.1 Quick Setup Guide.

ActiveControl is comprised of the following four modules:

• Transport Expresso – Core transport and change management module where transports, tasks, workflows, approvals, testing, imports and notifications occur
• ShiftLeft – Automated analysis checks that look at sequencing, completeness, risks, issues, dependencies, impacts and quality
• DevAnalytics – A set of KPIs and metrics to delivers deep insight into the performance of the SAP development and change process. Key metrics report on Velocity, Cycle Times, Rework & Waste, Work in progress and Approval times
• DevMax – Management of multi-track development processes enabling dynamic conflict detection and automated merge & retrotfit (included with ActiveControl Plus only)

These four modules will be referred to throughout the documentation as the relevant product features can be associated to one or more of these modules.

The Quick Setup Guide is intended as a simple step-by-step guide to setting up ActiveControl. This Guide is split into five sections to reflect the key phases of a ActiveControl implementation:

1. Preparation
2. Installation
3. Configuration
4. Final Preparation
5. Go Live & Support

Whilst setting up ActiveControl on your SAP estate, this Quick Setup Guide should be used in conjunction with the other available ActiveControl documentation and templates outlined in this section.

Typically, most implementations of ActiveControl are done with the support of an onsite Basis Technologies Solution Specialist. Remote support is also available from Basis Technologies if required via the contact details outlined at the back of this Quick Setup Guide.
