So that you can analyze the relevance of Simplification Items, the custom code has to be
scanned for references to SAP objects in the SAP Business Suite system using the Custom Code
Analyzer.
Prerequisites
Ensure that the following data is available before you run the Custom Code Analyzer:
Context
The Custom Code Analyzer extracts the following metadata:
- Usage of SAP objects in your custom code
- Extensions (such as enhancements, database table appends, and so on) made to SAP
objects
- Modifications made to SAP objects
Recommendation
SAP recommends that you run the Custom Code Analyzer in the development or test system in
order to prevent the creation of the where-used index in the productive
system.
Procedure
- In the SAP Business Suite system, implement SAP Note 2185390 .
Note
This SAP Note:
guides you on how to set up the Custom Code Analyzer in your current SAP system.
requires that you create the SYCM_MAIN and SYCM_ANALYSIS
packages. To do this, follow the manual correction instructions
of this SAP note.
- Schedule the SYCM_DOWNLOAD_REPOSITORY_INFO program as a background job. On
the SYCM Custom Repository Download selection screen,
enter the Customer Namespace and / or the
Package of the objects you want to analyze.
Note The /0CUST/ namespace represents customer development
objects starting with Z* or Y*.
- To execute, press F8.
Depending on the number of customer objects to be analyzed, the process might take several
hours.
The Custom Code Analyzer detects all references to SAP objects in your custom
code. The metadata of these references is stored in a ZIP file.
- As soon as the background job processing has finished, continue with Downloading the Analysis Result as a ZIP File.
Results
The Custom Code Analyzer stores the analysis result as a ZIP file in the SAP Business Suite
system.
