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Use it when where-used information is missing, outdated and you do not want to run full system index.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.

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

Summary

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