Object Filters 

Use

In the Classification Toolset, you use object filters to filter out certain object types according to preset criteria.

Features

Similarly to subtypes, which belong to a fixed set of main object types, filter types belong to the set of objects types that they can filter.

One example is the MAINTENANCE_VIEW filter. It belongs to the types TABL and VIEW and filters only those tables and views which are associated with a maintenance tool (SM30, SM54).

At present the following filters exist in the Classification Toolset:

Filter for	Filtered Types	Technical Name
Maintenance Views	TABL, VIEW, TOBJ	TABL_WITH_MAINT_VIEW MAINTENANCE_VIEW
Screens (except selection screens)	DYNP	DYNP_NO_SELSCREENS
Selection screens	DYNP	SELECTION_SCREEN
Function modules that are not RFC-enabled	FUNC	FUNC_NO_RFC
Function modules that are RFC-enabled	FUNC	FUNC_RFC
Function modules that cannot be used in an update task	FUNC	FUNC_NO_UPDATE_TASK
Update Modules	FUNC	FUNC_UPDATE_TASK
ABAP Unit Test Classes	PL, CLAS	AUNIT_TESTCLASS
ABAP Unit Test Method	OLD, OO	AUNIT_TESTMETHOD
Programs (except includes)	PROG	PROG_NO_INCLUDES
Executable reports	PROG	REPORTS
Proxy objects	COBO, CLAS, INTF, TTYP, TABL, DTEL	PROXY_OBJECT

If an object type filter contains the type FUNC, the names of function groups, which are part of function modules and adhere to the requirements for object names, are added to the object name filter. For example, the query

●        Object Type: FUNC

●        Object Name: FUNCTION_EXISTS

returns the classification of the function FUNCTION_EXISTS.
