Transportable Configuration (User Roles and Custom Fields)

Over the years, many customers have requested that more of the ActiveControl configuration be transportable – to enable them to make changes to ActiveControl more consistent with how they make changes in standard SAP – and to help them avoid the need to manually redo configuration via the ActiveControl Windows GUI in Production Domain Controller after having tested the configuration in the Development Domain Controller.

As part of ActiveControl 9.10 – it is now possible to optionally configure (and transport) the following configuration via SM30 instead of configuring via the Windows GUI:

• User Roles
• User Role Assignments
• Custom Fields

The following configuration was already transportable from previous releases of ActiveControl:

• Types
• Groups
• Document Categories
• Rules Engine

Configuration Steps.

Details can be found in online change notes for Custom Fields and for User Roles.

It is possible to configure via either Windows GUI or the SAPGUI – it is not possible to configure the same entities of ActiveControl within both. The default is Windows GUI. To switch to SAPGUI, the flag must be set via flag in table /BTI/TE_TBL_FLAG in the Domain Controller (using SM30).

*Further configuration areas will likely be offered as transportable configuration in future releases of ActiveControl. Please let Basis Technologies know if there is a particular area of ActiveControl configuration that you believe should be prioritised in a future release.
