Notes

Several object names retrieved by LiveCompare consist of two component parts:

  • Class Methods (METH) consist of a Class name and a Method name.
  • DataSources 7.0 (RSDS) consist of a data source and a source system.
  • DataSources/FileSources 3.5 (ISFS) consist of a data source and a source system.
  • GUI Statuses (GUIS) consist of a program name and a GUI status.
  • Indexes (INDX) consist of a table and an index name.
  • Report Variants (VARX) consist of a program name and a variant.
  • SAPScript Texts (TEXT) consist of a text object, a text name, a text ID and a language identifier.
  • Screens (DYNP) consist of a program name and a screen number.
  • Transfer Rules (ISMP) consist of a data source and a source system.

When specifying literal values for these components, the object name and component object should be separated by a single space.

When specifying literal values for SAPScript Texts, the four components of each text object should be stored in a comma-separated list.

LiveCompare retrieves global ABAP Query: Functional areas (AQSG) if any exist, otherwise local ABAP Query: Functional areas are retrieved.

CDS Views (DDLS) are supported for SAP kernel releases 750 and above.

Smart Forms (SSFO) are supported for SAP kernel releases 620 and above.

For Transport Table Keys (TPRD), the Compare Objects action compares the table contents associated with the table keys in the specified transport. Table keys found on the specified systems will be compared, regardless of which transports they are associated with.

The following components of BW Queries (ELEM) are not currently supported:

  • Conditions
  • Exceptions
  • Default Values
  • Variable Sequence and Properties

The ‘Number of Decimal Places’ and ‘Scaling factor’ fields (and their ‘Use Default Settings’ values) in the Display Attributes for selection items are also not supported.

The METH object type is only valid for classes in transports.
