Enhanced ShiftLeft DevEnforcer (0004)(0006)(0016)

Recent changes to standard SAP Code Inspector resulted in a lot more results being presented by the ShiftLeft: DevEnforcer analysers. A lot of these results related to Informational and Warning messages, which could be a distraction from the real Errors that actually needed to be dealt with.

On the back of feedback from existing ActiveControl customers, the existing set of DevEnforcer analysers have therefore been enhanced so that it is possible to exclude such Informational and/or Warning messages from the analyser output.

In addition, it is also now possible to filter out historical issues – i.e. any code problems that do not relate to the actual transport(s) / being analysed. This may help customers in the scenario where a new SI partner has inherited code with historical issues that they did not deliver, so that they can initially focus on ensuring that they are not adding new coding issues during their change delivery.
