RAG statuses

Numerous RAG (Red, Amber, Green) status icons are seen throughout the ActiveControl Web Platform – to help identify issues and potential problems within individual SAP changes and transports.

Red or Amber typically indicates something that requires your attention.

Where the icon is indicating something informational that is not necessarily an issue that requires intervention, it is shown in Blue, Purple or Green for easier differentiation.

RAG Icon	Icon	Description	Configuration Details	Feature Deactivation possible?	Seen at TF or BT level?
Risk		Indicates if a Transport contains SAP objects defined as risky/critical within the Customer organisation.	Please refer to this online Knowledge Article for details on configuring the 0001 Risk Guard analyser which is used for the RAG status calculation.	Yes	Both
Conflict		Indicates if a Transport contains objects that are also being changed in parallel track, via the 0005 Conflict Analysis ShiftLeft analyser.	Please refer to this online Knowledge Article for details on configuring Merge and the 0005 Conflict Analysis analyser which is used for the RAG status calculation.	Yes	Both
DevEnforcer		Indicates if a Transport has coding, security or performance issues, as defined in the checks against the corresponding DevEnforcer analysers (0004, 0006, 0016)	Please refer to these online Knowledge Articles for details on setting up 0004, 0006, and 0016 analysers which are used as part of the RAG status calculation.	Yes	Both
Aged Transport		Indicates if a Transport Form is older than a certain (configurable) number of days.	Please refer to this online Knowledge Article for details of the configuration.	Yes	Both
Dormant Transport		Indicates if a Transport Form has been sitting in a particular control point location for more than a certain (configurable) number of days.	Please refer to this online Knowledge Article for details of the configuration.	Yes	Both
Manual Step		Indicates if a Transport has an incomplete Manual Step against it. Red means the Manual Step is incomplete and is holding up an import. Amber means the Manual Step is incomplete but is not holding up an Import. Green means that the Manual Step is complete (for the current system).	No configuration required. Please refer to this online Knowledge Article for further information on this RAG icon.	No	Both
Testing		Indicates if a Business Task has had test results other than “Successfully Tested” logged, and the Business Task left in the Test Queue using “Save and Close”. “Testing – Problem” – should be RED ”Testing – Information” should be BLUE ”Testing – Waiting” – should be PURPLE ”Testing – Bypass” – should be GREEN	No configuration required.	No	Business Task only.
UModes		Indicates if a Transport Form default umodes have been changed on the “Advanced Options” subscreen of the Transport Form.	No configuration required.	No	Transport Form only
Automated Approval		Indicates if a Transport Form is awaiting automated-approval (or if it failed).	No configuration required for the RAG status. Please refer to this online Knowledge Article for further information on configuring automated approvals.	No	Transport Form only
RC8		Indicates if latest import of a Transport ended in RC8. Note this is only seen in Import Queue when the import into the previous Target was an RC8. Ie you will not see the icon if you re-add the transport to the Import Queue of the sytem where it previously had an RC8 import error.	No configuration required.	No	Transport Form only

*Some of the RAG status are calculated at Transport / Transport Form level – but also roll up to Business Task level. If there are two Transport Forms against a Business Task, and one of the Transport Forms has a red icon and the other Transport Form has a corresponding amber icon, then the Business Task would be represented as red.

*Many of the RAG status icons will only show if they are Amber or Red – but they will not show if they are Green. This has by Basis Technologies design, to avoid the situation in the legacy ActiveControl UIs whereby non-issues tended to dominate the screen. In addition, it should be noted that some of the individual RAG status icons can be completely switched off by the ActiveControl Administrator via Feature Deactivation.
