ABAP Development Objects

Hi experts,
is it possible to hide abap workbench objects so that they are not visible through SE80 or other transactions?
I know the possibility to hide ABAP source code but what I mean is to hide whole TADIR objects?
Example given, a Function Group is hidden so that it cannot be found through se80 or other objects like BW transformations etc.?
Best regards,

Hello colleagues,
This is a valid question and deserves serious answer.
It can have two possible answers: Yes its posible or no its not.
I personally don´t want to hide any repository object. If its possible to hide abap source code, it might be possible to hide Repository objects too?Intention might be to hide programs that could lead to data leaks etc.
Best regards,

Reg: History of ABAP development objects

Dear Experts
Is there any function module or table available to get the information of created, change and Version information of both z and standard abap objects?

Hi Hatsan,
Thank You for the reply,
I tried that table but when i give an abap report name or function module name it is showing 'No Table entries found'.
I also found out that by using the table TRDIR we can get the history of reports and TFDIR to get the history of function module.
it will be good to find the correct source in which these entries are maintained ie with tables information.

Software Configuration Management for ABAP Development ?

Hi,
we are a software company selling a Data Capture Solution.
For this, we are currently in the process to develop an interface for transferring the extracted data into a customer's SAP R/3 system.
Since we want to develop this interface following certain software engineering principles, we are looking for a way to solve certain simple common Software Configuration Management issues, such as:
- Object Versioning (Similar to file versioning in classic software development): That means being able to:
-- Keep track WHO changed WHAT WHEN and WHY?
-- Revert to a former version of an object (e.g. when the fix of a former defect must be revoked for some reason)
-- Keep track which changes have been made for a certain Change Request (NOT meaning SAP Change Requests, but Change Request for our interface development)
- Label a certain version state as 'released' or 'tested' or whatever
- Perform a kind of 'Branching' (Classical Software Configuration Management task), e.g. when we release a version of our interface and start the development of a new version, we must open a 'Maintenance Branch' of our released version parallel to the ongoing development of the future release.
When I say 'Objects', I mean everything being concerned when developing something within R/3; that can be ABAP programs, forms, tables (structure and content(!)), etc.
We are using an SAP System version ECC 5.0 for development; as for now, we have come to the conclusion to use the versioning that comes with the Transforms, although they do not really cover the above requirements as we would like to.
Is there anybody out there who had the same idea and solved it somehow?
My impression is that in the SAP world, classical Software Configuration Management is not a part of the way of thinking; and that development for SAP R/3 has little in common with classical software development.
But maybe there is an add-on or some hidden features of NetWeaver or anything that can solve these issues.
Hope is the last to die...
Thank you very much for any feedback,
Regards,
Jörg

Thank you very much for your answers!
@Pushkar:
No this is not exactly what I meant;
What we want to do is a kind of classical configuration management or at least version control of
development objects like ABAP programs, table definitions, table data etc. that are contained within our SAP development system.
It's not about version management of external documents imported into SAP.
I know that there is a kind of version control via Transports, but this does not cover all classical version control mechanisms; what we are missing there is
- the possibility of reverting to an older version of an 'object'
- Branching / Merging mechanisms
- the possibility to choose which changes I want to release with which transform and which objects
- view differences between arbitrary versions of an object
I was hoping there is maybe a kind of 'add-on' or maybe even a built-in tool that provides classical version control mechanisms or something similar.
Thank you for further help,
Regards,
Jörg

ABAP Development and "End User License"

Hi all,
I'm happy to join to SDN!!!
I newbe in the forum, and therefore I don't know if I post in the right section.
I'm a Netweaver Architect and ABAP Developer.
In the past I worked as java developer, and with other programming languages.
I have a doubt: is it possible (or forbidden by SAP AG??) to develop an ABAP package (which, obiousvly, contains Z / Y Abap objects) and apply an "End User License" on it, i.e. on the ABAP code written? (I mean that the copryrights are mine, and I give an "End User License" to my customers (that buy the license), in order to get and run my abap code). I would avoid to sell my Abap package, but, if possibile, I would only give it according a "Use License".
May I do this thing without any problems, or have I to consider other aspects, like ask to SAP to reserve a namespace, or obtain SAP Netweaver certification for my ABAP solution, or other things?
(Infact the "End User License" that I mean is different from "SAP End User License")
Please, let me know your opinion and how or who could solve my matter.
Many thanks to all.
Best Regards,
Albert

Abap development workbench

hi,
can anybody tell me about ABAP development workbench.. like what is it.. why is it called so..?

ABAP Workbench
The ABAP Workbench is the integrated development tool for SAP applications
SAP's integrated graphical programming environment which offers all the necessary tools for creating and maintaining business applications in the R/3 System.
The ABAP Workbench supports the development and modification of R/3 client/server applications written in ABAP.
You can use the tools of the ABAP Workbench to write ABAP code, design screens, and create user interfaces.
Furthermore, you can debug and test applications for efficiency using predefined functions, as well as access development objects and database information

ABAP Development Estimate

Hello,
I have user request to develop a custom ABAP program that would combine the following:
1. Credit Master Data, Limits and Exposure data from FD33.
2. VA05 Order Backlog data
3. KE30 PA Report showing sales by customer and sales area.
4. A/R data from F.21
all in a new custom program. I have quoted an estimate on the number of days it
would take to design, code and test this development but I would like some external feedback from the ABAP community on how long this development would take.
Can you provide just some rough estimates on how long it would take an ABAP developer to write a program to combine all this information in a ALV report.
The user would want to select and filter all this data by customer number and sales org,distribution channel and division.
Thanks
chris

Hi Chris,
The estimate depends upon the complexcity of the issue or the design. Some companies have ABAP effort estimation tool which gives a rough figure of the total number of days required to develop a object based on the complexcity of the object.
Try to analyze and see how many database select is required, how many screens to be developed, how complex is the list output and how many test scenarios have to considered in unit testing. All these factor will contribute to determine how long it would take to develop an object. It also depends on the skill set your team has. If a person who is good in SAP SCRIPT would take less number of days to develop the script if its assigned to him. So it all depends on what kind of object you have to develop and its complexcity.

Two ABAP Development Clients with Transport enabled in Development System

Hello All,
I have a unique situation in my development systems. We currently have two abap development clients with client settings which allows repository transports to be created. The reason for this setup is because there are two different abap development teams who want to work independently.
Has anyone see two development clients in development system? Do you see any risk with having two abap development clients with transport enbaled? Should I force them to work in ONLY ONE ABAP development client?
I would like to know your thoughts?
Thx...Rocky

Hello,
It may not a good idea to have two development clients. You have to manage with the following issues:
(1) Customizing transports need to be moved to two clients
(2) You may have to peridically sync. them between each other with all the development objects
(3) Data needs to refreshed in two clients for development/unit test purposes
(4) Same object may be edited in two clients independently at the same time which is likely to go to Production at different times resulting in version sequencing issues
(5) Vension of data of object will be lost if you want to retrieve old version.
Thanks,
Venu

Transporting ABAP proxy objects from one environment to another

Hi
I have ABAP client proxy objects ( classes in ECC 5.0 and the corresponding XI message interfaces on the XI server ) - in my development environment.
I need to move the ABAP proxy objects to the Qa environment. Two ways of doing this come to my mind.
1) Move the proxy classes within the ECC 5.0 Dev --> QA using normal transport organizer in ABAP workbench. Parallely , move the XI SCVs - from dev to QA ( export/import ). After both are done, go to QA environment, setup basic ECC5.0 <-> XI connection and check whether my ABAP proxies work.
2) As an alternate approach to no.1, move only the XI based SCVs from Dev -->QA , go to ECC 5.0 QA environment
and regenerate the ABAP proxies there using SPROXY - perhaps this will not be allowed in the QA environment - since the client will not be setup for any object changes/creation.
Any thoughts/links/weblogs on the above is appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi Kartik,
We recently moved our outbound proxies from dev to QA and we followed the first approach and we did not face any issues with the approach.
Also SAP suugests the same approach...
"You create proxy objects in the development system by using the proxy generation functions. They are transported and shipped by using the tools in the development system. There are separate tools in the Integration Repository (see also: Software Logistics for XI Objects)."

ECC 6.0 Webdynpro for ABAP development environment

Hello,
We are currently running ECC 5.0 and ABAP stack is only available as of ECC 6.0. Is is possible to download and install just ECC 6.0 development environment?
Thanks,
Alex

The ABAP development environement and runtime are integrated into the Business Suite release. Therefore ECC 5.0 runs on top of NetWeaver 2004 (6.40) and ECC 6.0 runs on top of NetWeaver 7.0. There is no way to directly mix ECC/NetWeaver releases nor can you directly transport NetWeaver 7.0 objects (like Web Dynpro ABAP) to a 6.40 based system since the runtime wouldn't be present.
You can however install a standalone NetWeaver Systems. Then you would have a separate instance with the ABAP 7.0 developement and runtime environement. You can use RFCs and Web Service Calls from this standalone system to read and write data to/from your ECC 5.0 system. You give up some of the benefits (like the integrated DDic value-help).

A few questions to the abap development team...

Dear Developers,
I am submitting these questions to the ABAP development team at SAP regarding the language capabilities.
Coming from the Java/C world I am wondering if you plan the following possible "evolutions" of the ABAP language :
   - a real boolean implementation in ABAP like in Java or C; possibly a OO class implementation with full operators;
   -> the possibilty to write conditionnal expressions or assignements like the followings :
   x = ( a and not b).
   if (x or f(x)=false) then ...
   - possibility in ABAP to nest function calls on objects like in most every OO language (java, c++, ruby...etc ) : x = a.b().c()
- Concerning the ABAP editor :
     - fixing the problem with the drag n drop problem from the class browser to the source editor of long method+class/interface names
     - real code completion on objects (no heuristic approach) by providing access to method or attribute names like in most OO IDEs
Any info could be interesting
Best Regards,
Olivier MATT

now that could be really interesting if you'd just tell us the questions!

BAdI called on changes of development objects?

Hi!
I’m looking for a way to get notified when a development object (some code, DD-Item etc.) is changed. For example when it is saved, activated or added to a transport request. I would then like to run some ABAP Code to filter, do some logging and possibly sending an email.
I’ve already examined the BAdI CTS_REQUEST_CHECK but its method CHECK_BEFORE_ADD_OBJECTS is not yet implemented by SAP.
Can anyone point me to another BAdI or Enhancement Spot or some other solution to get aware of and handle changes?
BTW we are one NW 7.01
Thanks a lot,
Bernhard

Check Name length of Development Objects

Hallo I`d would like to develop a programm that checks if the name of a Development Object does fit to the Length restriction of ABAP. Are there any useful Functions / Methods ??
e.g.
the function: DD_CHECK_NAME does this implicit .... (using function: DD_TABL_CHK_SAANORM)
but this works only for DDIC-Objects not for Classes / Reports etc ...
furthermore these Functions are not enabled for external usage ...
any hint ??
Edited by: Peter Burgard on Sep 12, 2011 11:04 AM

Hi ,
I`d would like to develop a programm that checks if the name of a Development Object does fit to the Length restriction of ABAP
SAP will not allow only to give name more than its restricted Limit for each Development Object .
so there no question of check from urside " SAP does that in Standard .
ONly in Case there is less than the limit and You want to know the length then you can do it using
simple logic of DESCRIBE SYNTAX .

Deepak

Development Objects with " / " names

Hi ABAP experts,
Have you ever come across ABAP custom objects with "/" names, such as /BPPwhatever
I'm wondering if developers can use such names for custom objects instead og "usual" Z_ or Y_
Thanks,

This is a namespace.
Developer organisations (SAP, customers, Partners, ISVs, etc.) can register their own namespace with SAP.
Then they can create their own objects inside this namespace without worrying about nameing conflict with others.
E.g IBM might register the namespace "IBM". Then they can create objects such as /IBM/PROGRAM1, /IBM/DBTAB1, etc.
If they created objects in the "customer namespace" (i.e. starting with "Z" or "Y") someone else could create an object of the same name in another development system and when the two development streams were consolidated there would be a conflict. Namespaces prevent this from happening.
Cheers
