• Key Concepts: 
  Change Control Management (CCM) is a feature of the SAP Solution Manager (SV-SMG) that helps organizations manage and track changes to their SAP systems. It provides a central repository for all changes, allowing users to easily view and analyze the impact of changes on their systems. It also helps ensure that changes are properly tested and approved before they are implemented. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use CCM, users must first create a change request in the SAP Solution Manager. This request should include details about the change, such as the type of change, the affected system, and the expected impact. Once the request is approved, users can then create a change package in CCM. This package contains all of the necessary information for implementing the change, such as scripts, documentation, and test plans. Finally, users can execute the change package in CCM to implement the change.
