B.03 Unique Programs

This workflow performs a comparison of the custom programs on two specified SAP systems, to find custom programs that exist in one of the compared systems only. The results are stored in the Unique Sys1 PROGs and Unique Sys2 PROGs Table datasets, which have the following columns:

Column Description
TYPE This column is set to ‘PROG’.
NAME Program name.
DEVCLASS The development class associated with the program.
DTEXT The description for the development class.
PTEXT The description for the program.
UDAT The program’s last modification date.
UNAM The user who last modified the program.

For completeness, the Common PROGs Table dataset stores a list of programs that are common to each of the compared systems. Naming patterns for custom programs are obtained from an External Data Source provided with the workflow.

Creating RFC Destinations

Before you begin, you will need to create RFC Destinations for each of the SAP systems you wish to compare.

Preparing the Workflow

To prepare the B.03 Unique Programs workflow, drag its workflow template from the Templates folder into your own workspace, and modify the workflow as follows:

To specify the systems to compare:

  1. Select the System 1 parameter and choose ‘Edit RFC Destination’ from its context menu to display the RFC Destination dialog.

  2. Select the RFC Destination for the first system to compare, then click ‘Save’.

Repeat the above steps to link the System 2 parameter to the RFC Destination for the second system to compare. Save the workflow using the ‘Save’ toolbar button.

Running the Workflow

To run the B.03 Unique Programs workflow, click the 'Run' toolbar button, choose ‘Run Now’ from the diagram’s context menu, or press F5. The currently running workflow action is marked with an animated display. When the workflow execution has completed, select the each of the Unique Sys1 PROGs and Unique Sys2 PROGs datasets and choose ‘View Details’ from the context menu to view the result tables.
