The function module TR_TADIR_INTERFACE is the interface for the objectdirectory (TADIR) of the ABAP Workbench.
All modifications to the object directory are made using this interfaceonly. This is because the interface makes internal checks thatguarantee the consistency of the data.
TR_TADIR_INTERFACE requires the following key fields to be able toidentify the object:
  • TADIR-PGMID

  • TADIR-OBJECT

  • TADIR-OBJ_NAME

    • Other parameters also need to be sent, depending on the action.
    • Inserting an entry in the object directory:

      • PGMID OBJECT OBJ_NAME

      DEVCLASS mandatory
      AUTHOR filled from the system field,
      if not already sent

      • Deleting an entry in the object directory:

        • PGMID OBJECT OBJ_NAME

        • Reading an entry in the object directory:

          • PGMID OBJECT OBJ_NAME

          WI_READ_ONLY
          No changes are made to the object directory.
          The entry is returned in NEW_TADIR_ENTRY.

          • Flagging an object as generated:

            • PGMID OBJECT OBJ_NAME

            WI_SET_GENFLAG = "X", "T"
            Set the flag according to how you want the generated object
            to be handled in the upgrade (see the documentation on the data
            element GENFLAG).
            If WI_SET_GENFLAG = " ", the generation flag is not changed (in
            particular, it is not reset to " ").
            The package $TMP is set for generated objects (local
            private object), if WI_TADIR_DEVCLASS is not sent and the entry
            is created as new.

            • Removing the generation flag for an object:

              • PGMID OBJECT OBJ_NAME

              WI_REMOVE_GENFLAG = "X"
              Sets the TADIR-GENFLAG to " ".

              • Flagging an object that is in a repair:

                • PGMID OBJECT OBJ_NAME

                • Removing the repair flag:

                  • PGMID OBJECT OBJ_NAME

                  • Changing the package of an object:

                    • PGMID OBJECT OBJ_NAME
                    -----------------------------------------------------------------
                    Caution
                    Each time you change a package, you must transport the
                    change into all systems in your system group. This is not
                    currently done automatically. Transport the change by
                    inserting the entry LIMU ADIR R3TRPROGZREPORT in a
                    transportable change request, in this example for the report
                    program ZREPORT.
                    -----------------------------------------------------------------

                    • Setting the protection flag against editing in standard editors:

                      • PGMID OBJECT OBJ_NAME

                      IV_SET_EDTFLAG = 'X'
                      Sets TADIR-EDTFLAG to 'X', preventing the object from being edited
                      with standard object editors.
                      The parameter WI_TEST_MODUS is set to "X" as a default.
                      If you want to update the database, set this parameter to " ".
                      In test mode, all checks are made with the parameters that are sent,and the changed object directory entry is returned in NEW_TADIR_ENTRY.The database is not changed.
                      This function module does not have a dialog. All exceptions are sent tothe calling program with MESSAGE... RAISING ...
