The Solution Documentation Assistant offers a rule database with an overview of all available step checks, including those that are not assigned to any analysis project.

In the rule database you can

  • Search for check steps and display relevant details

  • Edit and copy check steps, and create new check steps

  • Download check steps as a file to reuse them in another implementation of the Solution Documentation Assistant (for example, for another customer).

Prerequisites

You have called the Rule Database view in the Solution Documentation Assistant.

Features

The rule database lets you search for check steps. The results table displays all check steps in the rule database that meet the search criteria.

You have the following options during the search for check steps:

  • You can search for the name of the check step.

  • You can search for check steps of the transaction or report type by entering the name of the affected transaction or report in the Object Name field.

  • You can search for check steps of the BAdI or SQL type by

    • Entering the name of the respective BAdI or table in the Object Name field

    • Also entering the name of the respective BAdI implementation or the name of, for example, a table in the Subobject Name field.

For each check step, the standard view of the table displays:

  • Name of the check step, by default this is made up of the name and description of the Referenced Object in a transaction, for example, SE16 – Data Browser.

  • Type of check step, for example, transaction

  • User who last changed the check step

  • Time of last change

For each check step, the following detailed information is provided on the following tabs:

  • Object Detail shows information about the object that the check step refers to:

    • Name of the object, for example, transaction name

    • Object type, for example, transaction or report

    • Object description, for example, Data Browser in the case of the object for transaction SE16.

  • Check Step Use displays which check items the check step is assigned to, and therefore to which structure nodes in which analysis projects. The following is displayed for each use or assignment:

    • Name of the check item to which the check step is assigned

    • Structure node type to which the check item is assigned, for example, a business process

    • Name of the structure node, for example, Processing Orders.

    • Name of the analysis project to the analysis structure of which the executed node belongs.

Activities

  • You can search for specific check steps with detailed criteria. Enter at least the type of the check steps that you want to search for.

    The search shows all check steps of the selected type in a table.

  • To remove a check step, select it, and choose Remove.

    Note Note

    You cannot remove check steps that are still in use. In this case, check the use of the check step. Once all assignments of the check step have been removed, you can remove it from the rule database.
