This document details the basic settings we would need to do for the ABAP Test Cockpit configuration.

Go to transaction ATC -> ATC Administration -> Setup -> Configure ATC

By default, the screen would be in display mode. Click on Change button.

First, enable ATC Exemptions in the system as shown below:
Next change the results to For any results.

The ATC Behavior on transport release can be as per the requirement. If we set to Block on any
error, no transports would be released if there is any ATC error. If it is set to Inform on errors, then
it is like an information message. The user can ignore the same and proceed with the transport
release.
Save your settings. As soon as you save the entries, the screen goes to display mode immediately.
Next important setting in the ATC is Maintain Approvers for Exemptions. These are the list of
approvers who are authorized to approve the ATC Exemptions.

Click on Exemptions -> Maintain Approvers as shown below:

When you execute this step, you would get the message The list of approvers can be maintained in
the master system only. We need to maintain the Master System in the first setting Configure ATC.
<To show this specific message, we didnt this setting earlier>

Now go back to the setting Configure ATC and maintain the Master System. For our demo purpose,
we have considered the local system (EH7 is the login system id).
Now go back to Maintain Approvers. This time you would be able to maintain the Approvers.
Enter the Approver(s) as needed.

These are the minimum settings that need to have ATC to be executed. All the other settings like
Monitoring, Emailing and others can be configured as needed.
