Deleting Generated Code for Report Groups

Prerequisites

Extensive programming code is generated when a report group is generated. Since many report groups are usually created during system testing, extensive storage space is needlessly allocated. In this case, you may want to use the Delete programs function to delete all generated report group code.

Note Note

If you delete generated report group code, only the generated programming code is deleted and not the report definitions. When you execute a report group, any deleted code is automatically regenerated.

End of the note.

Procedure

  1. On any Report Group screen, choose Start of the navigation path Utilities Next navigation step Delete programs End of the navigation path .

    A dialog box appears, asking you if you want to delete the generated code.

  2. Choose Yes to delete the generated code.

    A dialog box appears, asking you if you want to delete the generated code online or in the background.

    Note Note

    Since this program can require extensive system processing time to execute, it is recommended that you execute the program in the background.

    End of the note.

  3. Select either Online or Background .

    If you select Online , the system begins deleting the generated code.

    If you select Background , the screen for defining a background job appears.

    For more information about defining and executing a background job, see the SAP Library Background Processing System: Overview documentation ( Start of the navigation path Working with the SAP System Next navigation step Getting Started with the SAP System Next navigation step Background Processing End of the navigation path ).
