Custom Code Lifecycle Management 
This application is the central point of access for all functions that you use to manage the lifecycle of custom developments from creation to deletion. The custom developments that you manage with this application are programs, transactions, and other objects.
The application provides an overview of all the custom developments in your systems. You can identify changes and manage your developments more effectively. You can manage activities more efficiently, such as change events or implementation of new software, by identifying the custom objects that are currently in use.
Implementation Considerations
In SAP Solution Manager Configuration, the Custom Code Management scenario is configured.
There is at least one solution with logical components and systems.
For usage information to be sent to SAP, the EarlyWatch Alert for the systems is activated.
For usage information for custom code objects, Usage and Procedure Logging (UPL) is activated.
