Now we are able to deliver Figaf DevOps Suite 2.11, enabling a new level of automation for SAP Integration. It contains 150 tasks or bugs and 55k new lines of code. So it is a massive improvement we have worked on. It contains two main areas.
- Transport and governance system
- Migration of SAP PI/PO, if you still need to migrate to 7.5
Transport and governance process
When we talked with clients of the Figaf tool about our integration with CTS+, it seemed like only 50% of the customers were using it. I could configure it on our system without much knowledge in 4 hours. So it should be possible for all SAP users to use it.
My thesis on why CTS+ has not been implemented as much is that it is not adding much value, and is just complicating the process. You cannot really see what is in the transports and once you have imported the directory you anyway needed to perform manual steps to configure it.
That is the reason I’m stoked we have created our own transport approach. It is really simple to configure and make it possible to improve the delivery of SAP Integration. This is the way transports are supposed to be handled in the modern world.
The process is as follows, in most cases:
- Create a Ticket that links to the business requirement or failure created
- Add the objects that you have changed
- Figaf will then know what objects need to be tested and can test the flows
- You can create transport with all the objects.
- You then configure what channels will be like on other systems in the landscape
- A user can then approve the transport and allow you to transport in the landscape
- You can import the transport in the landscape, and it will then configure the communication channel
- You can create an Excel report of the change and upload it to Jira, Service now
You can see how this enables DevOps for SAP PI/PO in this video.

Migration of SAP PI/PO
The new release also enables users to help optimize the migration process. A lot of users still need to perform migration projects. It is quite a labor-intensive process that you need to perform. That is why it would make sense to automate the process. If you are planning a migration project, I recommend checking out the migration option. I have created a video of the process:

What came next
CTS+ integration was added in Figaf 2.14, so CTS+ can still run your transports while Figaf handles testing, configuration and documentation.
