It is possible to define Approvers for Inboxes and Outboxes via the Approvers subscreen of an individual Target configuration.
Please note that this is considered legacy functionality. It is recommended for most ActiveControl customers to instead configure Approvers using the Rules Engine, as this affords a lot more power and flexibility in the ActiveControl workflow.
Inbox Approvers
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Inbox Approvers | Here you specify those people who can approve changes into the target, from the target’s inbox, or approve the transporting of changes from the target’s pending queue. Approvers can be authorised to approve any transport request or only those assigned to particular groups. To add an approver, select either a specific group or All Groups and then click the Add button to choose an approver from the list of users in the domain controller SAP system. |
| Minimum number of approvals required | The number of approvers that must approve a change before the change moves to the next location on the transport path, such as from the target’s inbox to its import queue. |
Outbox Approvers
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Outbox Approvers | Here you specify those people who can approve changes out of the target, from the target’s outbox. For example, a test manager may wish to prevent the flow of changes into the production system until satisfied that appropriate levels of testing have been performed. Approvers can be authorised to approve any transport request or only those assigned to particular groups. To add an approver, select either a specific group or All Groups and then click the Add button to choose an approver from the list of users in the domain controller SAP system. |
| Minimum number of approvals required | The number of approvers that must approve a change before the change moves from the target’s outbox to the next targets, as per the transport path configuration. |
