- Product version to show the details of all the components installed on your system
- The component you need to look for is called “SAP_BASIS” and is usually at the top of the list.
- Release is used to identify the major release of NetWeaver, and SP-Level is used to identify the support pack installed.
- Look for SAP_BASIS
- Release = major release version of NetWeaver
- SP-Level = installed support pack

As SAPEX needs to read source code / system information from multiple SAP tables, a user with enough rights should be used.
It has been proved that the extractor works using a SAP user with the following permissions:
...
- SAP_ALL (All SAP System authorizations)
- S_A.SYSTEM (System administrator (Superuser))
...
- SCL (Upper and lower case in source code: 'X' = lower, ' ' =upper)
- WLC (Workflow: User-specific settings)
...
Depending on your use of SAPEX (Remote or Local) the permissions are different.
Remote usage of SAPEX means that the SAPEX functionality is executed within an external system. This means that you will use KLA to remotely connect to the SAP Server to extract the code and analyse it. In this remote scenario, the SAP Server acts as a pure server host. It provides the needed APB source files for KLA to analyze. Therefore, KLA will use an SAP user to connect to the SAP server to extract the code (i.e. to invoke the SAPEX RFCs).
In a Local usage of SAPEX, you will need to configure a SAP user with permissions to run the code extraction and execute the SAPEX programs.
Common permissions for both (Local and Remote) usage
Regardless of local vs remote usage, there are some common permissions the SAPEX user needs to be granted:
- Object : S_DATASET
- ACTVT = 06, 33, 34
- FILENAME = DIR_HOME/sape4k/*
- Note: if you configure the SAP instance to be balanced to a group of SAP servers, you will need to configure this permission in every SAP server (because DIR_HOME will be different for every SAP instance)
- Object : S_LOG_COM
- COMMAND = 'ZKW_MKDIR', 'ZKW_RMDIR'
- OPSYSTEM = Operating System type ( SY-OPSYS system variable) established for SM69 commands (for example, Linux, UNIX, ANYOS, Windows NT, etc… )
- HOST = SAP server where above commands will be executed ( "*" or SY-HOST system variable, recommended * )
- Object : S_RZL_ADM
- ACTVT = 03
- Needed to remove export temporary directories of SAP server
Permissions for Remote usage
For SAPEX remote usage, SAP user must be type B (system) .
A type B user with above privileges should also be granted the following authorizations:
- Object : S_RFC
ACTVT = 16
RFC_TYPE = ‘FUGR’
RFC_NAME = ‘ZKW_SAPEX_FG’, ‘SYST’,’ RFC1’,’ SDIFRUNTIME’
Permissions for Local usage
In a Local scenario, SAP user must be type A (dialog).
Besides the common authorizations (above explained), this SAP user must also have next ones:
- Object : S_TCODE
- To execute SAPEX transactions :
ZKW_COD,
ZKW_MET
- ZKW_ANA
- Object : S_PROGRAM
- To execute ABAP programs through SA38 :
ZKW_SAPEX_CODE
ZKW_SAPEX_METADATA
ZKW_ANALYSIS
ZKW_ANALYSIS_TO

copy them directly.
Otherwise, execute SE37 and execute the ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER function. Click on Test/Execute
Then select the files you want to import (in your local machine) and the target path (in the SAP server),
...
...
and Execute it.
In order to confirm the copy, you can use AL11 to check the transfer was done to the correct places.
Execute it and double click on the DIR_TRANS row.
For cofiles, you should see something like
...
...
to data directory.
3. Import the Transport Request files
...
Execute STMS and click on Import Overview
Then you will see your Import Queue(s).
Double-click on the queue and you will see the requests for that queue.
Now you should add the SAPEX Transport Request (Extras
...
...
> Add)
Click
...
Transp. Request to see available Transport Requests:
Select it
...
Click Yes.
Then you will see the SAPEX Transport Request, select it and click
...
Import Request.
...
Select the Options tab as below.
...
the import process is finished, you can check it using SE09.

4. Create OS Commands (ZKW_MKDIR and ZKW_RMDIR)
After importing SAPEX Transport Request, you must create OS commands (ZKW_MKDIR and ZKW_RMDIR)
