LO-VC: ALE Data distribution of Variant Configuration

84 Views

Hi SAP Gurus,

We plan on implementing the following solution for ensuring Variant Configuration data consistency between our lower clients and our production environment.

1) update/create variant configuration in development.

2) ALE distribution to QA client with testing

3) ALE distribution to Production with landing tests

Our concern is with regards to version control. We are looking to be able to control access to Characteristics and Classes that have been changed in development environment until ALE release to Production. Does anyone know if there is a current standard SAP solution for this or do we need to create a custom solution to ensure that if a Characteristic or Class is changed, it will generate a new version (similar to ABAP version control) so that we can ensure that only the changes required for the original distribution are transmitted at the time it is ready to be released to production.

This would be similar in scope to how SAP currently manages transports. We are currently looking at creating copies of BD91 and BD92 that we can administer using change pointers, but if there is a simpler solution we would definitely be interested.

Thanks,

Kevin Webb
