SAP Server Requirements

 

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 7.4+ platform.

Please read

Contact Kiuwan Technical Support Kiuwan Support for previous platform versions.

 

How to know the SAP NetWeaver version

What are the permissions needed to run SAPEX in SAP

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:

Distribution of SAPEX as a Transport Request

SAP Extractor for Kiuwan (SAPEX) is distributed as a Transport Request.

This way, you can easily install all the required SAPEX source programs importing the transport request into your target SAP system.

SAPEX binay files (data-file and co-file) are contained into sapex_transport.zip (located at $(AGENT_HOME)/resources/abap directory of your Kiuwan Local Analyzer installation).

 

Note: If you cannot use this installation mechanism you can also install SAPEX by manually installing source code ( please visit Manual Installation of SAP Extractor)

 

How to import SAPEX Transport Request

In this section we will import the Transport Request for SAPEX that is included in your Kiuwan Local Analyzer distribution.

 

1. Get the Transport Request files

You can find the Transport Request as a zip file (sapex_transport.zip) in $(AGENT_HOME)/resources/abap directory of your Kiuwan Local Analyzer installation.


First, just unzip into your local system. This will extract two files :

Please note that last 3 digits of the transport numbers might be different in most recent versions.

 

2. Copy the Transport Request files to your SAP System

Next, you need to copy the extracted co-file and data-file to your SAP System. 

  • K900039.NPL to your /usr/sap/trans/cofiles directory
  • R900039.NPL to your /usr/sap/trans/data directory

Please note that destination directories are for a unix sap system. In case of a SAP Windows system, typically is <drive>:\usr\sap\trans

 

If you have direct access to your SAP system, you can directly copy them.

Otherwise, execute SE37 and execute 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), check the Uppercase/Lowercase 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 DIR_TRANS row.

 

For cofiles, you should see something like tha below image. Similarly for data directory.

 

3. Import the Transport Request files

Next, SAPEX Transport Request must be imported into your SAP system

 

Execute STMS and click on Import Overview
