There are several approaches to integrate SAP and Kiuwan

Integration of SAP and Kiuwan basically depends on:

  • the scope of the analysis
    • Baselines for packages
    • Deliveries for transport orders

 

Depending on your needs, Kiuwan provides several tools and mechanisms (as below table shows)

 BaselineDeliveries
ResolvedIn Progress
Remote

From an external machine:

  • Extract source code (sapexCode.xml, sapexMetadata.xml)
  • Execute the analysis (using Kiuwan Local Analyzer)

Visit Remote use - Analysis outside the SAP Server

N/AN/A
Local

Within SAP System:

  • Extract source code (ZKW_SAPEX_CODE, ZKW_SAPEX_METADATA)
  • Execute the analysis (ZKW_ANALYSIS)

Visit Local use - Baselines

Automatic process:

  • Executed previously to Release a Transport Request or Task

Visit Local use - Resolved Deliveries

Within SAP System:

  • Execute the analysis (ZKW_ANALYSIS_TO)

Visit Local use - In-Progress Deliveries

 

Please, visit SAPEX installation (SAPEX Installation from Transport Request) according to the possible scenarios (local or remote)

How Kiuwan and SAP can be integrated

 

Extraction of ABAP source code and metadata

 

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

This first step seems trivial when you are working with a file system or with any source code repository, but it’s not so when you are working with SAP.

ABAP code is located within SAP Server, so you should first extract ABAP code and let Kiuwan know the location of the extracted info.

After extracting the ABAP code, Kiuwan will be ready to analyze it.

 

Local or Remote Execution of Kiuwan analyses

 

You should also decide the location where the ABAP code will be analyzed

Kiuwan lets you implement two different approaches.

You can execute the Kiuwan analyses at two different locations:

Additionally, you can analyze either manually, or automatically

This way, Kiuwan will scan the code and deliver to you the analysis results.

 

Analysis of Packages (baselines) and Transport Orders (deliveries)

 

Depending on your development life cyle you may have different needs.

Sometimes you will need to analyze a complete package, while other times you will only need to analyze a transport order.


Kiuwan allows you to fully integrate the analyses within your custom development life cycle by providing different types of analyses:

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:
