Where-Used-List update by package

Purpose

This tool updates the where-used-list for ABAP repository objects in a package.

It can process:

  • single package
  • package including all subpackages recursively

Use it when where-used information is missing, outdated and you do not want to run full system index. Handy for sandbox systems, local Docker ABAP Trial instances.

Supported Object Types, ABAP Code:

  • CLAS
  • INTF
  • FUGR
  • PROG

Option 1 – Report

Use when

  • background processing is required, due volume
  • you want to enter the package at runtime
  • you want a simple executable tool
  • you prefer a classic SAP GUI style entry point

Execute report ZSAPDEV_WULU_RUN.

Input Fields

  • Package: technical package name to process
  • Recursive: checkbox to include subpackages recursively

Execution Modes

  • Recursive not selected Only the entered package is processed.
  • Recursive selected The entered package and all subpackages are processed recursively.

Result

  • Success message is shown.

Notes

  • Recursive processing may take longer, depending on package size. Schedule a background job using the report.

Option 2 – ADT Class Runner Usage

Use when

  • you work mainly in Eclipse / ADT
  • you want quick online developer execution
  • hard-coded input values are acceptable

Run class ZCL_SAPDEV_WULU_RUN in Eclipse / ADT as ABAP Console Application. (Windows Keyboard Shortcut: F9)

The runner uses constants inside the class:

  • package name
  • recursive mode flag

Before running, maintain these values in the source code.

Example

CONSTANTS package_name         TYPE devclass  VALUE 'SALV_DYNPRO'.
CONSTANTS recursive_processing TYPE abap_bool VALUE abap_false.

This processes one package only.

If you set:

  • recursive_processing = abap_true

the runner processes the package hierarchy going down recursively.

Result

  • A success message is written

Installation

abapGit: https://github.com/attilaberencsi/abapwulu.git

Summary

This utility provides a simple way to refresh where-used information for ABAP package content.
