Client export for ABAP programs, repository objects cross client objects

Hello,
Let me first explain the scenario here. Our Development system crashed we are rebuilding the development system from a client export of the production. Client does not want migration etc so the only way we want to do it is through client export.
Now the question is whether cross client objects can really be imported through client export KT, KO, KX requests?
I thought it was possible but after successfully importinng the client export (which was taken using profile SAP_EXPC) of the Production client all the customizing has been imported but non of the ABAP programs have been imported.
Can anyone explain how this is done and if it is possible?
Steps I performed:
1] Exported Production client with profile SAP_EXPC
2] Imported the 3 requests KT, KO, KX using command line
tp import <KT req> <SID> U2 client=<my client> pf=<profile path>
tp import <KX req> <SID> U2 client=<my client> pf=<profile path>
tp import <KO req> <SID> U2 client=<my client> pf=<profile path>
3] After successful import ran scc7 which finished successfully
Thank you

You can transport client independent customizing, read sap note [24853 - CC-INFO: Client copy, functionality|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/24853].
But you cannot transport abap repository objects (abap programs) with a client copy.
Can you explain what you mean by "Our Development system crashed". If you still can happily do client copies to that system, then i really wonder what you mean by crashed...

Import issue for ABAP program in Production Server ?

Hi Experts,
I have an ABAP program which gets executed properly in BW Development server but getting the following error when I am trying to execute it in the BW Production while I could activate the program successfully.
Kindly help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance !!!

Gokulkumar RD

Hi Golkul,
Can you debug the program while execute?
I think there is some hardcoding in the program for checkiing the client and then raised a custom message in the program.
Can you share the coding of the prorgam if possible?
Try to check for any messages raised in the program. Also click on the on the message pop up and see the details on the message and let us know.

Transport for ABAP Program

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how I can create a transport for and ABAP Program. It is currently in DEV but needs to go to test.
Thanks

I think you must have created this object as a Local Object. You need to do 2 things here :
Reassign the Development Class to a Z Dev Class.
Use trx code SE38. On the first screen, specify the program name & click on Goto-->Object Directory Entry.
You will get a popup here, change the Dev Class to whatever you have on your side, this will prompt you for a Workbench Transport request. Follow up with Basis to get it to Test.

Export Custom ABAP Programs

We have built a new system on our ECC system and we have about 400 custom Z* programs which we have created throughout our entire landscape. We have tried using several client copies to copy all the custom ABAP programs which we have created into this new system but nothing has worked. Is there a way to export all these custom programs out of our Development system and into the new system? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Connie Baldon ,
you problem can be solved by creating "SAP NUGGETS" in your new and old sap system , Download your packages and other stuffs from old system and import it into a new sap system. To wok with Nuggets , use the below link
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/SAPlinkUserDocumentation
and try this way also

How do i create a header template for ABAP programs?

Hi all.
Need a little bit of help here. When you create a new program you get a template with space for comments at the top of the program and basic stuff. If I want to change this template to add areas that we want to have comments on for every program we make at work. How do I do that?
Instead of :
I want to have in a way similar to this:
*     Author:                         *
*     Function:                    *
And so on
I want the words to be there when our developers creates the program.
How can I do that?

Authentication or Security Checks for ABAP programs

Dear experts,
     Please tell me where do we give the authentication or security checks to our ABAP programs and how do we do that. ( Do not allow all to execute our developed programs).
Regards,
Maanasa

If you know the authorization group u can use the following ways.
1. In the Attributes u can specify the authorization gourp name
2. AT SELECTION-SCREEN
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'Z_TABU_DIS'
            ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '03'
           ID 'CUSTTYPE' FIELD v_class
            ID 'TABLENAME' FIELD p_dbtble.

   WHEN 0.
    WHEN OTHERS.

PHYSICAL FILES FOR ABAP PROGRAM

hi friends
i would like to know are there any physical files on os level for the ABAP programs.for example, when we create a customized report for sales in ABAP does SAP also create a corresponding copy on os level. if yes then in which file system .?
we have ECC 5.0 on AIX & use oracle 9i.
thanks in advance.
regards.

The code you write in ABAP is not stored on OS-level (at least not in an ABAP-stack system) - it's contained in the database. As for the 'copies' your management wishes (for some ambigous reason) to have - there's no need. The code you write is versionised, so that every change made to the code is automatically documented when you press 'Save'.
That was answering a 'basic' question - but you have made me very curious now: would you mind to explain why you would want a 'copy' of your custom code on OS-level? Any special reason??

TCode for abap program performance testing

Hi
I have tuned a abap program which was consuming lot of time. I still have the old version with diff name. I would like to know the tcodes where in i could see the performance of the program.
regards
Balaji

Hi balaji,
This is kiran Kumar.G.I will give some steps.you better to follow those steps to get ur report performance.
If u r satisfy with my answer give me REWARD POINTS.
            HAVE A NICE DAY.
STEPS:
1.OPEN UR REPORT IN SE38 TRANSACTION.
2.SELECT THE MENU PATH
UTILITIES-->MORE UTILITIES-->RUNTIME ANALYSIS
3.SELECT THE PROGRAM RADIO BUTTON AND GIVE UR REPORT NAME THERE.AND CLICK <b>EXECUTE</b> BUTTON
4.IT WILL TAKE U TO ANOTHER SCREEN THERE U CAN EXECUTE UR REPORT AND COME BACK.
5.CLICK ON ANALYZE BUTTON.(PRESENT IN BELOW OF THE SCREEN).
THEN U WILL GET ONE GRAPH
NOTE:
1.IF IT IS RED UR PROGRAM IS HAVING VERY POOR PERFORMANCE
2.IF IT IS GREEN IT IS OK.
ABAP GRAPH : TELLS UR CODING IN THE REPORT.
DATABASE GRAPH : U R RETREIVE DATA FROM DATABASE IN UR REPORT..
SOME STEPS USED TO IMPROVE UR PERFORMANCE:
1.     Avoid using SELECT...ENDSELECT... construct and use SELECT ... INTO TABLE.
2.     Use WHERE clause in your SELECT statement to restrict the volume of data retrieved.
3.     Design your Query to Use as much index fields as possible from left to right in your WHERE statement
4.     Use FOR ALL ENTRIES in your SELECT statement to retrieve the matching records at one shot.
5.     Avoid using nested SELECT statement, SELECT within LOOPs.
6.     Avoid using INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE. Instead use INTO TABLE.
7.     Avoid using SELECT * and Select only the required fields from the table.
8.     Avoid nested loops when working with large internal tables.
9.     Use assign instead of into in LOOPs for table types with large work areas
10.     When in doubt call transaction SE30 and use the examples and check your code
11.     Whenever using READ TABLE use BINARY SEARCH addition to speed up the search. Be sure to sort the internal table before binary search. This is a general thumb rule but typically if you are sure that the data in internal table is less than 200 entries you need not do SORT and use BINARY SEARCH since this is an overhead in performance.
12.     Use "CHECK" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
13.     Use "CASE" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
14.     Use "MOVE" with individual variable/field moves instead of "MOVE-
CORRESPONDING", creates more coding but is more effcient.

Expression problem for ABAP program

Hi everyone,
Once i have saw a expression in ABAP program. as follows.
DATA:drag_object TYPE REF TO lcl_dragdrop_dataobject.
CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPRIONS move_cast_error = 1.
drag_object ?= dragdrop_object->object.
ENDCATCH.
IF sy-subrc = 1.
CALL METHOD dragdrop_object->abort.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
I don't know what is "?=" .
Please help me.
Thanks Advanced !

DATA: airplane TYPE REF TO lcl_airplane,
            cargo_airplane TYPE REF TO lcl_cargo_airplane,
            cargo_airplane2 TYPE REF TO lcl_cargo_airplane.
      CREATE OBJECT cargo_airplane.
      airplane = cargo_airplane.
      cargo_airplane2 ?= airplane.
             The type of case described above is known as a widening cast because it changes the
             view to one with more details. The instance assigned (a cargo plane in the above
             example) must correspond to the object reference (cargo_airplane in the above example),
             that is, the instance must have the details implied by the reference. This is also known as
             a u201Cdown castu201D. The widening cast in this case does not cause an error because the
             reference airplane actually points to an instance in the subclass lcl_cargo_airplane. The
             dynamic type is therefore u2018REF TO lcl_cargo_airplaneu2019.
The widening cast logically represents the opposite of the narrowing cast. The widening cast cannot be checked statically, only at runtime. The Cast Operator u201C?=u201D (or the equivalent u201CMOVE ... ?TO u2026u201D) must be used to make this visible.

Can I use logical databases in a WebDynpro for ABAP program?

can I use logical databases in a WebDynpro ABAP program?
I need to build a WDA screen that is similar to the SAPDBPNP selection screen (user can find the personnel number based on several criteria, such as last_name/first_name of the employee). So it seems that the exisinting logical databases have already many nice features already built (like the selection screens, the logic behind the screens etc). So I was wondering if/how I can use them in my WDA application.

Hi
Please let me also know the solution to this. I am a beginner to WebDynpro and want to know if I can make use of LDB's as we do in our normal HR programming do develop a WDA in HR.
Thanks and regards,

How to copy wd for abap program?

Hi SAP GEARS!
I'm developing a program (wd) in Minisap when i have not a net connection. How can i copy the wd program from this minisap to a real workplace?
A solution is caching data and cofile files but in standard minisap instalation the transport layers are not configured
so, there is someone with enough goodness to help me with this thread?
Tanks!

Hello,
If you want to download a Web Dynpro Component to your PC for moving between systems that aren't connected via transport, then I suggest that you look at SAPLink: http://saplink.org
SAPLink is an Open Source community project for downloading and uploading ABAP development objects in XML format via simple report instead of the transport system. There is a plug-in for SAPLink that supports Web Dynpro Components.
Hope this helps!

Template for ABAP programs

Hi all.
I've implemnted the following soultion for our SAP system.
Go to TCODE CMOD,
Create a new Project like ZSE38 as follows.
Check the 'Enhancements Assignments' Radio button, click create and add SEUED001 ( for Editor )
now SAVE, click on Components and select the User Exit that you want to use.
EXIT_SAPLS38E_001 <-- this is a function module.
inside this FM there is an INCLUDE program ZXSEUU08.
double click on it, when a warning message appears in the status bar below press ENTER
to create the program.
write the code you want inside this program. or add the following code.
code
DATA: it_code(256) TYPE c OCCURS 0.
DATA: wa_code like line of it_code.
DATA: it_new_code(256) TYPE c OCCURS 0.
DATA: lv_linecount TYPE i.
IF OPERATION = 'EDIT'.
read report program into it_code.
DESCRIBE TABLE it_code LINES lv_linecount.
IF lv_linecount LE 10.
read table it_code into wa_code index 5.
if wa_code(9) '*& Author'.
read table it_code into wa_code index 1.
append wa_code to it_new_code.
read table it_code into wa_code index 2.
append wa_code to it_new_code.
read table it_code into wa_code index 3.
append wa_code to it_new_code.
clear wa_code.
wa_code = '*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*'.
append wa_code to it_new_code.
clear wa_code.
wa_code = '*& Author :'.
append wa_code to it_new_code.
clear wa_code.
wa_code = '*& Date :' .
append wa_code to it_new_code.
clear wa_code.
wa_code = '*& Purpose :'.
append wa_code to it_new_code.
clear wa_code.
wa_code = '*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*'.
append wa_code to it_new_code.
clear wa_code.
wa_code = '*& Date Changed by Tag Description'.
append wa_code to it_new_code.
clear wa_code.
wa_code = '*&'.
append wa_code to it_new_code.
clear wa_code.
wa_code = '*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*'.
append wa_code to it_new_code.
data: lv_firstline type i.
loop at it_code into wa_code from 4 to 8.
if wa_code = ''.
lv_firstline = sy-tabix.
endif.
endloop.
loop at it_code into wa_code from lv_firstline.
append wa_code to it_new_code.
endloop.
insert report program from it_new_code.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
[/code]
After this, activate the include program.
then go back to CMOD transaction and activate the PROJECT that you've just created.
and you're ready to go........
Everything is working fine except that i do not want this template to be implemented when I do an include.
What changes do i need to do?
BR
Andreas

Hello Andreas
I the same include that you are creating your template(ZXSEUU08) check to see what type of program you are working with.
* Check to make sure program is type 1 before inserting template.
select single * from trdir where name = program.
check: sy-subrc = 0.
if trdir-subc = '1'
... some code here - only executed if program is type 1 (executeable)....
endif.
Of course you can excldue incldudes by checking for subc = 'I'.
