ABAP Test Cockpit Administration

ABAP Test Cockpit provides a set of administrative functions that administrators can manage using the administrative Transaction ATC.

 

Administrators with the appropriate authorization can set up the periodic jobs to run daily, weekly, or for a specific date to scan the code, the exemption process, and so on. In contrast, a quality manager with the proper roles can manage and set up check variants, approve/reject exemptions, and govern the quality process for the evaluating system.

 

Creating a Schedule Run Series

To periodically review your ABAP custom code, administrators or quality managers can schedule the run series to evaluate your application code against a set of predefined checks via global check variants. To create a scheduled run series, quality managers or administrators can follow these steps:

  1. In Transaction ATC, click on Schedule Runs to set up a periodic check run, as shown in this figure.
