    Could you please updates the links to the code inspector user guide?

    Also, another question: how can you configure the code inspector to perform check on a remote system? Use case: The local system has a higher version of CI, and I want to check issues on another system on a lower release level.

    Thanks,

    Michael

    Hi Michael,

    Here you find some information on performing checks in a remote System: https://blogs.sap.com/2016/12/12/remote-code-analysis-in-atc-one-central-check-system-for-multiple-systems-on-various-releases/.
    As user guide, currently there is only the SAP Help documentation.

    Best Regards, Randolf

    Hello,

    If I need to check de ABAP custom code for a Business suite migration to Hana with a Netweaver 7.00 SP 30, what checks do I need to select? I don't have the FUNCTIONAL_DB variant  or ATC functionality.

    Regards

    1. Randolf Eilenberger

      Hi Sergio,

      Checks and check variant for SAP HANA migration are not available in NW 7.00. You will have to use the remote check capabilities of Code Inspector, see my response to Michael above.

    Hi Randolf,

    Using the Code Inspector functionality to automatically check objects when a transport request is released (SE03), I would like to know if it register anywhere the result of the inspection made to these released transport request, allowing:

    - future inspection results review ?

    - to confer the released transport request with Code Inspector errors in a certain time interval, for instance in the last week / month ?

    Thank you in advance

    1. Randolf Eilenberger

      Hi Nuno,

      Inspections of transport requests started from SE03 are not persisted. You can persist the result if you create an inspection with transaction SCI and select 'Request/Task' in the 'Object Selection' of the inspection. But for monitoring the quality of released transports, this is a little bit cumbersome.

      Best regards, Randolf

    Dear Randolf,

    Thanks for your explanation of SCI functions.

    I have a question: Is there a way to store name conventions for Badi's in the Code Inspector (transaction SCI)? 

    Thanks!

    Best Regards, Julia Song

    1. Randolf Eilenberger

      Hi Julia,

      Currently, there is no check in SAP Code Inspector to check naming conventions for BAdIs. You will have to build it yourself!
      See also the very, very old document: Documentation: How to create a new Code Inspector check

    Hi Randolf,

    Thanks a lot for this wonderful guide. I have found it searching for solutions to my following request: My customer has a list of custom programs which they need to identify whether or not they perform database updates (either to standard or custom tables).

    I have used successfully code inspector tools to search for UDPATE, DELETE, INSERT and MODIFY instructions. Also I can identify if a program has internal calls like SUBMIT, CALL FUNCTION or CALL TRANSACTION. However, I wonder if there is any way to tell the code inspector to extend inspection to deeper calls, since the original number of programs is incresingly growing due to internal calls to other programs, transactions or functions.

    As of now, every time I find a function module call, transaction call or program submit, I have to repeat the code inspection for every single of these deep calls.

    Furthermore, Code Inspector does not allow me to check Standard objects (programs, function modules) so I have to do the check manually for these items.

    Could you please suggest any ideas to try for this request?

    Thanks in advance and Best Regards,

    Sinuhe Serrano

      Hi Sinuhe,

      There are some newer Code Inspector checks that are capable of following the static call stack (for example "Search problematic statements for result of SELECT/OPEN CURSOR without ORDER BY"), but they are a little bit more tricky than the simple searches. One problem that you get is that if you follow the call stack over several levels, you will have to analyze most of the code in a system.

      Do you mean SAP objects if you want to check Standard objects? As you may know, Code Inspector does not allow to check SAP objects in a customer system, with the exception of code recently modified by an SAP note.

      Maybe you could use the object collector "Called/Calling Procedures" which should be able to find called programs and build an objectset based on the static call stack. But I think it is only available in the newest NW releases.

      Best Regards, Randolf

        Hi Randolf.

        Thanks for taking your time to reply. I'm exploring options to meet my customer requirement. It's a set of about 500 programs for which I have to determine if they perform any database updates for each one of them.

        This task can take me ages to complete, that's why I was searching for standard options.

        Again, thank you very much for your help.

        Best regards.

    Hi Randolf,

    I'm currently working on a HANA migration project for a major SAP user in Norway. The customer has quite a lot of custom code programs (~ 20.000 objects!). Unfortunately, there  has also been done quite a lot of modifications to standard code. Some with, some without modification assistant. 

    Code inspector is only working on self-developed objects, not SAP standard objects, so we are not able to check the modified objects for HANA compliance issues.

    Are there any workarounds to check the modified SAP objects?

    Regards

    Ole Kristian

      Do you mean SE03? You can check Modification Browser for modified objects and Display Repaired Objects.

      1. Former Member

        Hi, I mean I want to run SCI on the modified code in an SAP standard object without having to do it manually for each modified ojbject.

      Hi Ole Kristian,

      SAP once decided that "Code Inspector does not allow to check SAP objects in a customer system, with the exception of code recently modified by an SAP note."
      So I cannot support you here, I am sorry.

      Best Regards, Randolf
