Changes in standard SAP programs

Posted on Jan 06, 2005 at 08:50 AM 43 Views

Hello all,

How could I track the changes made to standard SAP programs by a client? The system is 4.0B and some standard R/3 application's source code has been modified to provide some non-standard functionalities (that was, probably, the worst solution - in many of the cases they could have use user exits or enhancements for achieving the same purpose).

In the table TRDIR (or, if you will, D010SINF) I can find the programs that were created by a set of users such as 'SAP' or 'SAP*' or 'DDIC' and were subsequently modified by client users (developers).

Furthermore, finding the development class of those programs (function module 'RS_PROGRAM_GET_DEVCLASS') gives me a better idea about what applications were really modified by the client.

Still, many of these programs that appear to have been created by 'SAP' or 'SAP*' and modified by other (client) users were <b>generated</b> as a consequence of <i>configuration changes</i> made by those client users, and therefore are not changes made to SAP R/3 standard.

Is there a way to track only those standard programs that were indeed modified by the client, at source code level?

Thank you,

Bogdan

    Hi Bogdan,

    you can program your own tool-abap:

    1) select table <b>E070</b> ( TRFUNCTION = 'R' )

    2) -> for all entries select V_<b>E071EU</b>

    (TRKORR = e070-TRKORR)

    3)-> list all found objects:

    -V_E071EU-PGMID

    -V_E071EU-OBJECT

    -V_E071EU-OBJ_NAME

    and create an interactive list (e.g. for SE11 and SE38)

    hope this helps

    Andreas

    Hi,

    If they registered the modifications with OSS you can find those in either the OSS or in table ADIRACCESS.

    OK, so by now I have three different methods to find changes made in the system by the client.

    1. My method, as mentioned in my first post.

    2. The method suggested by Vilmos (ADIRACCESS).

    3. The method that Andreas suggested (E070, E07T, V_E071EU).

    They provide me with three different lists of objects modified by the client.

    So I guess my analysis should go deeper.

    (A minus is the fact that there is no documentation for this R/3 implemention, and that I don't know the history of this implementation.)
