Custom Code Management

What is it?

src1 : SAP AG page 4

27.06.2015 Custom Code Management Tools Seite 5

Motivation

Custom code is the most expensive part of the software

src1 : SAP AG page 7

27.06.2015 Custom Code Management Tools Seite 6

Motivation

Low usage and quality of custom code drives costs

src1 : SAP AG page 7

27.06.2015 Custom Code Management Tools Seite 7

Motivation

Main benefits for reduced custom code objects

• Less maintenance and adjustment efforts for custom code

• Less security-, destabilization-, data consistency risk

• Less testing effort

• Less complexity Reduce

Getting started

How do I manage my custom code?

STEP 1 Analyse custom code in system(s) based on actual usage:

Most usage in the system? 
Usage, but not core business  UPL
Not used 

STEP 2 Identify the pain points in - fix them

Security
Performance
CCAPPS / ATC
Maintenance

should be decommissioned

If the budget allows it; clean up

Getting started

Where can I start Custom Code Management?

• Tools shipped with SAP Netweaver

• Custom Code Apps by SAP

• ABAP Test Cockpit / Code Inspector

• SQL Monitor & SQL Performance Tuning Worklist

• Coverage Analyser

• Custom Code Lifecycle Management by SAP Solution Manager

• 3rd party tools

Custom Code Apps

CCAPPS - Tools that help you

• Set of powerful programs

• Take your time

Usage & Procedure Logging

What code is executed in production systems?

• Monitors executed functions

• Integrated in CCLM of
Solution Manager

• Different aggregations

• Long term evaluation possible

• Kernel function
- No measurable performance impact
neither CPU nor runtime1

 Usage & Procedure Logging

Display UPL Data

• Find code that is used most

• Identification of code that is not used with manual work -
• Find used EXITS and Enhancements
• Use UPL List for ATC object sets
• Currently no user segmentation like provided by SCOV

Where do we have copy & paste coding?

• Copy of SAP code with modifications

• Z-Code that is cloned in same / other packages

• Persistency of results

• Clones across systems

• Remote compare

SAP Code Metric Tool

What is the most complex code in one section?

• Analyses the code for static metrics

• List all SAP modifications

• ( incl. Exit - coding )

• Limitations:

• No detection of complexity across modularisation units

27.06.2015 Custom Code Management Tools Seite 22

SAP Code Metric Tool

Identification

Lines of coe / number of statemts - what is the biggest codings?

Complexity ( conditions / decisions ) - where is the “spaghettiest” code?

Database interaction - who is reading / writing DB?

Autors / Version / Changes - which code was fixed most?

SAP Code Metric Tool

Identification

27.06.2015 Custom Code Management Tools Seite 25

SAP Code Metric Tool

Alternative : Code Inspector Metrics

Metrics: Max nesting, long coding block, comments, others

• Less Information available compared to Code Metric Tool

• Not so handy in use

• Can be used to create tends charts if executed regularly (Excel)

27.06.2015 Custom Code Management Tools Seite 26

ABAP Test Cockpit

Use ATC to analyse trends based on statistic

• Schedule ATC periodic runs to monitor trends in the coding

• Use stable check variant

• Combine Information with Code Inspector Metrics (Nos / Loc )

• ATC messages per number of statements; lower is better

27.06.2015 Custom Code Management Tools Seite 27

ABAP Test Cockpit

Use ATC to analyse trends based on statistic

09.06.2015 19.06.2015
2.597Prio1 / 116.359Nos = 2,23% 2.650Prio1 / 117.775Nos = 2,25%

27.06.2015 Custom Code Management Tools Seite 28

ABAP Test Cockpit - Evaluation

bonprix Z-Tool to analyse ATC result trends

• In which package are the most ATC findings / exemptions?

• Comparison between packages
• Trends
• Usage of Pragmas
27.06.2015 Custom Code Management Tools Seite 29
SQL Performance Tuning Worklist

Where do we waste performance?

1. Start SQL Monitor on productive system

2. Merge with Coverage Analyser data from test system

3. Merge with ATC findings from development system

4. Inspect results in development system SWLT

What Code is working on which tables hard

and has ATC Issues?
