U.15 - SPDD and SPAU Objects
This workflow examines the SMODILOG table on the specified system to identify a set of SAP objects that have been modified, and that are included in one or more imported support packs or transports. The modified objects may need to be adjusted using SAP transactions SPDD and SPAU. Transaction SPDD is used to adjust dictionary object types ENQU, SHLP, TYPE, INTF, TABL, VIEW, DOMA, DTEL and TTYP. Transaction SPAU is used to adjust all other object types; these are repository (ABAP) objects.
The U.15 - SPDD and SPAU Objects workflow finds objects from the SMODILOG table that match transport objects, and labels them as either SPDD or SPAU objects, depending on their object type. The results are stored in two Table datasets, which provide data for the Development Dashboard report and Excel spreadsheet.
The SPDD_Objects and SPAU_Objects Table datasets have the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| OBJ_TYPE | OBJ_TYPE The type of an object from a support pack or transport that also occurs in the SMODILOG table. |
| OBJ_NAME | The name of the object. |
| SUB_TYPE | The type of the object’s subobject. |
| SUB_NAME | The name of the subobject. |
| ADJUST_TYPE | This column is set to SPDD in the ‘SPDD Objects’ table, and to SPAU in the ‘SPAU Objects’ table. |
| TRKORR | The name of the support pack or transport that includes the object. |
| AS4TEXT | The description for the support pack or transport. |
| AS4USER | The name of the user who last modified the support pack or transport. |
| AS4DATE | The support pack or transport’s last modification date. |
| INT_TYPE | The INT_TYPE column from the SMODILOG table. |
| INT_NAME | The INT_NAME column from the SMODILOG table. |
| OPERATION | The OPERATION column from the SMODILOG table. |
| MAIN_PROG | The MAIN_PROG column from the SMODILOG table. |
| INCLUDE | The INCLUDE column from the SMODILOG table. |
| MOD_NAME | The MOD_NAME column from the SMODILOG table. |
| MOD_LANGU | The MOD_LANGU column from the SMODILOG table. |
| MOD_USER | The MOD_USER column from the SMODILOG table. |
| MOD_DATE | The MOD_DATE column from the SMODILOG table. |
| MOD_TIME | The MOD_TIME column from the SMODILOG table. |
| ACTIVE | The ACTIVE column from the SMODILOG table. |
| INACTIVE | The INACTIVE column from the SMODILOG table. |

| SPAU_CODE | The SPAU_CODE column from the SMODILOG table. |
Creating RFC Destinations
Before running the U.15 - SPDD and SPAU Objects workflow, you will need to create an RFC Destination for the SAP system to analyze.
Preparing the Workflow
To prepare the U.15 - SPDD and SPAU Objects workflow, drag its workflow template from the Templates folder into your own workspace, then modify the workflow as follows:
To specify the Current or As-Is system:
-
Select the System 1 parameter and choose ‘Edit RFC Destination’ from its context menu to display the RFC Destination dialog.
-
Select the RFC Destination for the system to analyze, then click ‘Save’.
Save the workflow using the 'Save' toolbar button.
Running the Workflow
To run the U.15 - SPDD and SPAU Objects 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 any of the following Table datasets and choose ‘View Details’ from their context menus to display the table contents.
-
SPDD Objects
-
SPAU Objects
-
SPAU Hyperlinks
These tables are returned to the Run Complete Analysis workflow, and provide data for the Development Dashboard report and Excel spreadsheet.
