Abstract

A method for setting change options of software systems of a software system landscape, wherein the systems are interconnected by logical transport paths for the transport of software services therebetween, the software services defining changes to at least one of the code and the data of at least one system, each system having change options that define changeability restrictions pertinent to the system, is described. The method includes providing an interface in each system, the interface allowing read and write access to the change options of the respective system from the outside of the system; providing a central control software system; providing an interface in the central system for communication with the interfaces of the systems; selecting a group of systems based on software service parameter data; and accessing the group of selected systems from the central system via the interfaces and centrally managing a change option in each system of the group.
