SAP ABAP Central: SAP-BW Transformation Routine References Finder Tool

Introduction:

While checking the ‘Where-used List’ of any Info-Objects in SAP-BW, the result shows the relevant Infocubes, DSOs, Queries, Transformations, etc. where the Info-Object is used. However, it doesn’t show the Transformation routines/codes (Start Routine/End Routine/Field Routine/Expert Routine) where the Info-Object tables are referred to. For example, the 0MATERIAL master data table /BI0/PMATERIAL might be called in a Start Routine code (Example Code: SELECT * FROM /BI0/PMATERIAL) under a Transformation. While clicking on the ‘where used list’ of 0MATERIAL, it doesn’t show the Code Line where this table has been referred in a Transformation. This table might be used in many routine codes under multiple Transformations. In order to find the Transformation routines in which the tables/Infoproviders are referred to, I have developed the tool called as ‘SAP-BW Transformation Routine References Tool’.

Transformation Routine References Tool Usage:

This tool can be used to find the usage/reference of any Master Data tables, Info-provider, Fiscal Year Variants, etc in transformation routines. SAP-BW Consultants encounter situations to identify the list of Transformations where the references to Master Data Tables (Example – /BI0/PMATERIAL, /BI0/PRT_LOCATIO), DSO Active Data tables (Example – /BI0/AFIAP_O0300), Fiscal Year Variants (Example – ZA, ZB, ZM), etc. are used. The Where-used list in any Info-provider renders the Object references but never yields the Code references used within any transformation. Therefore, this tool serves the purpose to identify the transformations wherever the table (or any other pattern) references are used. It takes the input of any technical name in SAP-BW as a ‘Pattern’ and renders the list of all transformations wherever the reference table/pattern is used. It shows the following details which will help to easily locate the line within the routines in all the relevant transformations.

The Output of this report contains the following fields:

◉ Transformation ID

◉ Object Version (A/M/T)

◉ Transformation Name/Description

◉ Code ID (Routine Code ID)

◉ Routine Type (Start Routine/End Routine/Field Routine/Global code/Global Code 2)

◉ Field Name (Wherever Field Routines are implemented)

◉ Line No.

◉ Line (Actual Code)

Benefits:

◉ The program utilizes standard tables to find the results, therefore the program can be used in any SAP-BW system (Global/Universal tool).

◉ This program does not impact the performance of the system.

◉ Since the input is pattern based, any name can be given as an input (such as ‘itab’, ‘lt_vendor’, ‘ZMATERIAL’, ‘/BIC/AZPC0100’, etc).

For example, if we would like to find the transformations wherever the Master data table ‘/BI0/PPLANT’ is used, this table name can be provided as an input and the resulting screen displays all the relevant information.

Conclusion:

The Transformation Routine Reference Finder tool can be used in any SAP-BW system to find the transformation routines where-ever the table or other pattern references are used. This will help SAP-BW consultants to make better decisions, in case of deleting master data or the object itself. For example, if you want to delete a DSO but you are not aware which transformation uses the relevant DSO Active data table /BIC/AXXXX00 in routines, then this tool can be used to locate the relevant transformation.
