Compare WAPA Classes

This workflow compares the classes in the views defined the specified BSP Application (WAPA) objects, and generates a Hierarchy report from the comparison results.

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 Compare WAPA Classes 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 System1 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 System2 parameter to the RFC Destination for the second system to compare.

To specify the BSP Applications whose classes are to be compared:

  1. Select the Name of the BSP Applications parameter and choose ‘Edit Select List’ from its context menu to display the Select List Editor dialog.

  2. Edit the table in the lower part of the dialog to specify one or more BSP Applications. Complete the table fields as follows, and click ‘Insert Rows’ if required to add additional rows.

Column Description
Field This field should be set to APPLNAME.
Operator The comparison operator to use: One of EQ, GT, GE, LT, LE, BT or CP. See the Select List Parameters help topic for details.
Low Value The name of a BSP Application to compare.
High Value If the BT (Between) operator is used, this column refers to the ‘high’ comparison value.
I/E Select ‘I’ these objects in the retrieval results, or ‘E’ to exclude them. If the ‘E’ option is used, you must create an ‘I’ specification.

To specify the comparison statuses to include in the report and compared hierarchy results:

  1. Select the Object Status to Keep parameter and choose ‘Edit String List’ from its context menu to display the String List Editor dialog.

  2. Enter the comparison statuses to include. By default, the workflow reports on objects with comparison statuses Different, In1, In2, or CantCompare. Each comparison status should be added as a separate string entry.

Save the workflow using the ‘Save’ toolbar button.

Running the Workflow

To run the Compare WAPA Classes 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 Report URL dataset and choose ‘View Details’ from the context menu to access the generated report.
