Transport management in Solution Manager without integration to Charm

[balazs_rajnai]

Dear All,

We would like to use Solution Manager to be a Transport Management tool, where users can release, approve, create transports etc. In the first wave we would not like to integrate it to CRs or Incidents via Charm. Is there a possibility to activate and use Solman for this? Based on my research i found that maybe Quality Gate Management can be a solution to this. Can you please advise whether it is a good approach or is there another recommended way to implement transport management without implementing Incident Management and Change Request management?

Best regards,

Balázs

It is also possible to use Change Documents (document type SMMJ) in Solution Manager, to do all of the following:

- To be able to approve transports through certain approval matrix through the entire landscape(Dev-->Qas-->Prod), so managers/leads can approve the transports prior releasing it

- Perform conflict checks/downgrade checks

- Perform retrofit

- Attach test results from Dev/Qas systems or at least a link that directs to the test results

This can be done without implementing Incident Management and Change Request management.

However, since I'm unsure what's making you shy of ChaRM, I can't tell you whether or not you'd have similar issues with using Change Documents.
