ABAP Code Inspector

Is there a way to confine the checks performed by Code Inspector to my
program only?
My program invokes much SAP-supplied code in the form of includes. And
the code inspector covers this code as well. I am interested in seeing the
results for my code only.

Hello Gregory,
Using the INCLUDE statement makes any coding part of the program for the compiler and most checks within the Code Inspector.
Best Pratice is not to use/offer INCLUDES for reuse. If fury old code makes the inclusion mandatory then wrapping it in a resuse component. e.g. a function group is the next best solution.

Execute ABAP Code Inspector from Outside of SAP

Hi all...
For reporting purpose, I would like to use ABAP Code Inspector (transaction SCI) for generating output as a file, it should call from outside of SAP through RFC function module and generate the list (output) as flat file (or XML), does anyone have been done with similar work like this? I wonder if you could share your experience with me...
thanks in advance,
yayan irianto.

I managed to set up the variant, however found a problem.
I used "Search ABAP Statement Patterns" under "Search Functs" and set the pattern like followings.
SELECT + INTO *
SELECT SINGLE + INTO *
However following statements were detected.
SELECT * INTO TABLE IT_DRAW FROM DRAW.
SELECT MANDT INTO TABLE IT_DRAW FROM DRAW.
SELECT SINGLE * INTO TABLE IT_DRAW FROM DRAW.
SELECT SINGLE MANDT INTO TABLE IT_DRAW FROM DRAW.
It's because + means one ABAP token in the code inspector.
Is there anyway to find only "SELECT SINGLE *" and "SELECT *" ?

Abap code inspector (tx : SCI) to detect certain patterns

Hello Experts,
I want to use SAP Code Inspector to detect common problematic ABAP codes for all developed programs.
But, I don't know how to make the check variant for detecting follwoing three patterns.
SELECT * FROM
SELECT * INTO
SELECT SINGLE * INTO
I guess I can use "Search for ABAP tokens" or "Search for ABAP statements paterns". But, It did'nt work because ' * ' represents any sequence of characters in the code inspector.
Anyone can help me?

ABAP Code Inspector & Security

All:
I am currently looking into the Code Inspector that is built into SAP that allows developers to run test/checks on their code related to performance, syntax, and as noted "security". I am trying to track down what exactly the "security" is being checked. I am running tests on my internal SAP systems to see how it acts, but I wanted to get any feedback from the security community on a few things
1) What "security" checks does the Code Inspector actual check for?
2) Is there an location with updated documentation from SAP (not dated 2002) which speaks to the security componet, not just mentioned it?
3) Any useful use-cases within the security community that your organization/clients are using?
Thanks,
Matt Urban

Hi,
if you display a check variant in SCI there is info linked to each node (icon with I). For example calling C-routine is a security risk. Also dynamic statements are good example of security risk. You need to validate input properly before executing dynamic statement. Not sure about documentation but documentation available in SCI seems OK to me.
On one project we used SCI to check any custom development (not only security). It helped us to increase quality of custom development. Especially, with less skilled developers.
Cheers

Effcient use of Code inspector

Hello there,
I am currently struggling about how to use effectively ABAP code inspector(SCI).
What I want to do is to convert the output result to excel like table format.
Defaut output is based on tree view and very much difficult to use it locally.
Any information is more than appreciated.
Regards,
Kazuya

Hi,
have you checked button Result list (CtrlShiftF11)? It converts tree view to list view. or you are looking for something more specific?
Cheers

Let me know about the code inspector ?

Hi
Let me know about the code inspector ?
thanks in advance

hi
The transaction for the code inspector is SCI / SCID. Code inspector generally used to check for Syntax Checks, Security checks and Performance checks.

Code Inspector & ABAP UNIT Testclasses

Hallo all,
I am currently trying to implement automated checks using the code inspector. I especially want to see if all our developers use our naming conventions. Also, we use ABAP Unit tests. Unfortunately, the generated test classes are not compliant with our name conventions (And also these Test classes are not interesting to be checked).
Now, I receive many warnings, mostly from the Unit test implementations.
Now: Is there a way to exclude these local test classes from my object set?
Thanks for you help!
Best regards,
Martin Imme

Other language NUnit test frameworks similar to ABAP Unit (AUnit) commonly have project extensions for storing test results. These are useful for the unit level regression (did a new change break any existing functions). History of test results, help narrow down the nature of a current failure by answering the question of 'When did this break?' or when did it last pass? In systems dependent upon outside components the history can provide a pattern for occasional failures due to factors outside the system under test.
I see that ABAP unit test results can be added into the Code Inspector under the Check Variant.
1. Is it common or recomended to use the Code Inspector (SCI) to store AUnit test results?
2. Is it common or recomended to use Code Inspector Object variants to collect individual AUnit tests for a regresssion style 'TestSuite'?
3. What reporting or tools exists for Code Inspector history?
4. Is Application Logging the better spot for AUnit results history?

Performance problem in ABAP code

hai guys,
I created report using tables like bsis,t001 etc,( tax report).
I have performance problem in this report.
COuld you pls tell me how to analyse the report and find out the place where process is taking more memory etc.
i did abap trace and runtime analysis..but could not find out exact point.
how to do this..
i want to analysis each subroutine,internal table and query process.
could you pls give me some ideas.

There is an excellent tool available in SAP - Code Inspector.

Transaction is SCII
Try the following link and I am sure you will find a bunch of useful documents.
<a href="http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=site%3Asdn.sap.comfiletype%3ApdfCode+Inspector&btnG=Search&meta=">ABAP Performance</a>
I use the Code Inspector to search for
a) All the select statements which are present within the loop
b) Nested Loops
c) Select query without providing criteria for primary keys, depending upon situation
d) Can the search be narrowed with extra conditions
e) Using READ .. BINARY SEARCH if internal table has lots of records.
The list is actually endless, but this is something to start with.
You can actually have a checklist, and depending upon it, go through your code. The more you adhere to checklist, you will find that, the performance would dramatically improve.
Also use ST05 transaction, for SQL Trace and find out which select query is taking the maximum time for response.

Differences between SLIN and Code Inspector

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the differences between SLIN and Code Inspector(SCI)..?
and in which cases we use SLIN and SCI..?
and as an ABAPer, which one should we prefer..?
Thanks,
Pradeep.

Hi
Extended syntax check or SLIN is used to check the program in all aspects for the different syntaxes like
When you use select single whether you have passed all the key fields or not>
whether you have maintained the text elements texts or not,
Have you used UNIT...CURRENCY along with the QTY and AMOUNT fields when displayed using the WRITE statement
and check for all the varities of statements used in the code, and if there is some problem with that statement/command, it will display as error or warning.
Check following links -
slin
can any one tell me abt SLIN T-CODE
Reward points if useful

How to remove Unicode errors from extended check and code inspector

Hi
We are working on making all our ABAP program to make unicode compliant. We are activating unicode flag in attribute and correcting syntax errors. After this when we do the extended checks or SLIN or code inspector, usually giving error for many statements such as whenever there is message.
Code is :message a208 with text-004.
Error description is :
The message 208 for id zz has no long text.
You can hide this message using "#EC *
208 is - & does not exist in & &. And text 004 is - Cannot open the output file
By using #EC * we can remove errors. But Is this the correct way and what does this indicate? Please explain.

Hi Yogesh,
Can you check whether the message number 208 in message id ZZ has the Self Explanatory checkbox as checked or not? I think it is not checked and u have also not maintained any long text. Hence the error.
By using #EC - you do not remove the error, however u hide it from SLIN.
It is used if there is some known error you cannot avoid which is returned by SLIN and you dont want it to be reported. Also, a way to "cheat" the reviewer who might be checking for errors.
Not good !!

Aditya

Checking naming convention of internal tables in code inspector

Can anyone please explain how in the code inspector can I check names of internal tables (like it_) that I use in a report program ? I know that I can specify it_ in Programming Convention -> Naming Convention->Program Global -> Data but this entry is not specific to internal tables as it also applies to variables and work areas. Apart from this is there any entry I can maintain in the Extended Naming Conventions for Programs(introduced in ECC 6.0)? Kindly reply at the earliest.

Hi,
Check these links for implementing the custom conventions in the code inspector

What exactly is the function of code inspector

Hi,
Pelase let me know the function of code inspector and related transaction with it.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Irfan Hussain

Hi Irfan,
The Code Inspector (transaction code SCI) is a tool for checking Repository objects regarding performance, security, syntax, and adherence to name conventions. You can also determine statistical information or search for certain ABAP words (tokens). In the Code Inspector, you can define inspections that, with the help of check variants, examine certain sets of objects. As the result of an inspection, you receive information messages, warning messages, or error messages on different properties of the examined objects.
You can check the following link for details.

Code Inspector Error Code MESSAGEG_H

Hello Guys,
I'm running code inspector and in Syntax check/Generation and subdivision suspect conversions, am getting an error called "Truncation in the Conversion from ABAP type 'C'(length 64 ->20).
While I understand what the error is about...i don't want to modify the code. Is there any workaround like putiing some "EC Check" at the end of the line so as to hide that error.
Thanks a lot.
Karthikeyan

If the error can be hidden, the pseudo comment would be provided in the Code Inspector screen only.
Click the documentation button (the blue "i" button) & see if there are any pseudo comments to hide the error.

Code Review of User Exits with Code Inspector

Hi,
We are using Code Inspector(Tcode - SCI) for checking the quality of ABAP Codes. It is working fine for all custom programs. But when we are checking the code of User Exits i: e MV50AFZ1 or ZXM06U22 then it checks the std SAP program (SAPMV50A) or (SAPLXM06) for these exits in place of checking that particular Exit only . How the customer/User Exits can be checked using Code Inspector. Pls advice.

Hi there!
Today, I stumbled over the same problem: Defining an Include for user exits leads to a check of the surrounding function group from SAP which I don't want to correct at all.
Is there a nice an elegant way of filtering out the SAP modules from checking? If not, the only way to get around this seems to be building an own implementation of the Code Inspector integration into CTS.
Thanks, Markus

Code inspector webdynpro java

Hi, does anyone know of a code inspector like SAP has for webdynpro abap but than for the java version?

Hi
After retriving the FM from model
u can follow these steps
1)If ur Zfi name Zhr_Address
then u can write the following code.
Zhr_Address_Input input=new Zhr_Address_Input();
wdcontext.nodeZhr_Address_input().bind(input);
//setting params
//for example parameters r p1,p2
input.setP1("value");
input.setP2("value");
//executing the Function Module
wdcontext.nodeZhr_Address_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
wdcontext.nodeOutput().invalidate();
