Solution areas
Operations
Explain operational failures with evidence instead of trial and error.
The problem
Operational issues — a 403 in a Fiori app, a stuck workflow, a posting to the wrong account, a refreshed system still pointing to production — cost hours of manual investigation across roles, configuration and logs.

Examples of what is checked
- Missing service or start authorizations behind Fiori 403 errors
- Work items without agents or waiting for events that never arrive
- Account determination entries missing for new combinations
- RFC destinations and logical systems not adjusted after a refresh
- Objects that are still referenced before they are decommissioned

Frequently asked questions
- Which engines does the Operations preflight run?
- Operations runs 7 deterministic engines: Fiori 403 Root-Cause Doctor, Workflow Stuck Explainer, Account Determination Preflight, System Refresh Delta Guard, Error Log Root Cause, Safe Decommission Preflight, and IAM Cost Optimizer. Each engine documents its rules and input contract in the engine catalog.
- Which files do I need for Operations?
- The engines in this area accept these file formats: CSV, JSON, and TEXT. You create the exports in SAP and upload them; no direct connection to your SAP system is needed. The outbound-only local agent is optional.
- Are the findings produced by AI?
- No. Findings come from deterministic rules: identical exports produce identical findings. Where AI helps with explanations, the confidence of that content is capped at INFERRED and marked as such.
- How is each finding backed?
- Findings reference evidence in the uploaded file: its path, the line and column where the format has them, a redacted snippet and the SHA-256 hash of the file. Each finding carries a confidence class (VERIFIED, RULE_DERIVED, INFERRED or UNKNOWN); findings without verifiable evidence are demoted to UNKNOWN.
