Welcome to SAP Extractor for Kiuwan (SAPEX)

 

Info

To analyze ABAP code in Kiuwan, source code and information from SAP system need to be exported previously to be analyzed by Kiuwan.

SAP Extractor (SAPEX) for Kiuwan performs these tasks.

 

NOTE: SAPEX is expected to run in any SAP NetWeaver 7.2+ platform.

Contact Kiuwan Technical Support Kiuwan Support for previous platform versions.


Introduction

In order to execute any Kiuwan analysis, you must first indicate where the source code is located.

...

Info

Therefore,  the approach to integrate SAP and Kiuwan consists on

  • To decide where should be run the Kiuwan analyses:
    • local (within the SAP server)
    • remote (within any other server of yur installation)
  • Proceed to SAPEX installation accroding to the possible scenarios (local or remote)
  • Run the ABAP code extraction mechanisms
  • Execute the Kiuwan analyses 
    • Baselines for packages
    • Deliveries for transport orders

 

 

How it works

 

When SAPEX components (programs, function modules, support classes, OS commands) are installed on the target SAP system, the user may perform the following operations:

 
  • Extract source code 
    • Either by running a program within SAP server (ZKW_SAPEX_CODE) , or remotely (using the sapexCode.xml script), extracted code can be analyzed with Kiuwan Local Analyzer. 
    • The code elements to extract could be based on transport requests / tasks, packages, and the type and name of the element (programs, function modules, classes, web dynpro components, etc.)
 
  • Extract system information ("metadata")
    • Metadata are used by Kiuwan rules to search for defects and vulnerabilities
    • For example, to ensure that authorization is performed properly, information about authorization objects and authorization groups (extracted from TOBJ and TDDAT tables) is used by many security checks in Kiuwan. 
    • Metadata extraction could be performed either by running a program within SAP Server (ZKW_SAPEX_METADATA) , or remotely (using the sapexMetadata.xml script).
 

  • Perform analysis on extracted source code

    • Within a SAP system with Kiuwan Local Analyzer deployed, by running the ZKW_ANALYSIS program. It offers the possibility for extracting source code before analysis.

 

  • Add automated audits before releasing changes

    • SAP's Change and Transport System (CTS) may register an implementation for the CTS_REQUEST_CHECK 'classic' BAdI. 

    • Source code extraction, analysis and evaluation of audit checkpoints may be performed before accepting (or rejecting) the release of a change request / task, according to organizational quality and security standards.
