Maintain the integrity of your SAP changes with features, including:

Minimize Impact to Existing Jira Projects
The Jira Connector for SAP Transport Management can be configured for:
Manual transport management, using action buttons, or
Automatic transport management, based on the status of the change request
Not all change requests in Jira require a change in SAP. The Connector adds a new SAP Change Indicator to your Jira change request screen. When the indicator is activated, a new tab appears in Jira to view and manage SAP transports.:
New SAP Change Indicator in Jira triggers bi-directional sync with SAP
SAP Change Indicator can be set automatically based on the assignment group for the change request
Security and Segregation of Duties
The Jira Connector for SAP Transport Management extends the robust role-based security model in Jira:
SAP transports management functions can be restricted by SAP security settings
Transport controls in ServiceNow can be hidden based on user role and status
Enhanced Compliance and Controls
The Connecter enhances the compliance of the change process in Jira.
