SAP Program KW_FOLDER_REPORTS - Evaluation of History Tables


This report identifies the transport requests associated with the KWcontent deletion report (KW_CONTENT_DELETION or transaction KW_IO_DEL).
This list of transport requests is needed in case too many versions ofinfo objects in the selected folders get deleted by mistake when thecontent deletion report is run.

Prerequisites
Required Authorizations
Authorization for transaction KW_IO_DEL_TR or for transaction SE38 /SA38 is required to run report KW_FOLDER_REPORTS.
Parallel Execution
While the report to identify the transport requests is running, allother reports that process contents at folder level in the SAP KW systemmust be inactive (for example, reorganization (SI81 -> Goto ->Reorganization)). Neither must any other instance of the KW contentdeletion report (KW_CONTENT_DELETION), or the report to evaluate thehistory tables (KW_FOLDER_REPORTS) be active.
Entries in Transport Tables
The transport tables (E07*) must be filled so that the assignmentbetween the deleted info objects (or deleted versions of an info object)can be identified. This information is no longer available if the SAPsystem is renamed or reinstalled in transaction SE06.

Features
You have deleted SAP contents or customer contents from your SAP KWsystem when running report KW_CONTENT_DELETION in transaction KW-IO-DEL.
You would now like to evaluate information from the history tables(KWDEL_HEAD / KWDEL_RES_OBJ) in transaction KW_IO_DEL_TR (run reportKW_FOLDER_REPORTS). You can do the following tasks in dialog mode inthis report:

  • Save information to a local file

  • Identify transport requests
  • Selection

    Group Box Settings:

    • Save

    • Entries from tables KWDEL_HEAD and KWDEL_RES_OBJ are selected accordingto the settings in the Context group box and the selected folders andstored in a text file for further analysis.
      File Name
      This field appears only if the "Save" option was selected.
      Here you can enter a file name for the local TXT file. Default name:kw_cont_del. You must not enter an ending for the file name. The TXTfile format is added automatically.
      • Transport Request

      • This function is used to identify the transport requests of the deletedinfo objects or the deleted versions (source and delete PHIOs).
        Entries of deleted versions that cannot be found in any transportrequest in the system appear in the list only with values for the objectclass and the 32 character ID.

        Group Box Context:

        • Language

        • The field can remain empty. In this case only KW deletion report runsare considered for which no language had been selected. This means thatonly entries without a language key are selected from the header tablefor the deletion entries (KWDEL_HEAD).
          If a language key was selected in the deletion report, this must beselected in this report too.
          • Radio buttons: "Standard Context" / "Enhancement Context"

          • These determine whether the fields "Release", "Enhancement Release" and"Enhancement" are displayed.
            • "Release"

            • Only displayed with radio button "Standard Context".
              The validity of the value entered is checked in table IWRELEASE.
              The character "*" is valid as a placeholder for F4 help.
              No entries regarding enhancements are considered when the report is run.
              The specified release restricts the number of release values from tableKWDEL_HEAD considered in the report. All releases smaller or equal tothe specified release are included.

                The character "*" is valid as a placeholder for F4 help.
                The specified release restricts the number of release values from tableKWDEL_HEAD considered for the selected enhancement. All releases in thisenhancement that are smaller or equal to the specified release areincluded.
                • "Enhancement"

                • Only displayed with radio button "Enhancement Context".
                  The validity of the specified enhancement is checked in table IWEXTENDand a check is made that it matches the value selected in the subsequent"Enhancement Release" field.
                  The character "*" is valid as a placeholder for F4 help.
                  • "Country Key"

                  • The field can be left empty or can contain a country code from tableT005.

                    Group Box Mode:

                    • Results from test mode only

                    • Only the results from the test mode of the KW content deletion reportare considered.
                      • Results from the deletion mode only

                      • Only the results from the deletion mode of the KW content deletionreport are considered.
                        • Results from both modes

                        • The mode (test or delete) is not considered.

                          Output
                          Option: "Save"
                          The report creates a TXT file with the name you entered.
                          This text file contains the entries from tables KWDEL_HEAD andKWDEL_RES_OBJ in accordance with the context settings and the selectedfolders.
                          The first entries appearing in the text file are from header tableKWDEL_HEAD and relate to the parameters of the executed KW deletionreport. Then come entries for the actual versions that were deleted orflagged for deletion.

                          Option "Transport Request":
                          The report displays a list of the transport requests found.
                          For these entries the Object Class and ID fields are empty.
                          If versions of objects without a transport request were found, theseentries appear after the list of transport requests. For these entriesthe Object Class and 32-character ID are visible, and only the TransportRequest column is empty for these entries.
                          If entries for objects without a transport request appear in the resultslist, this means no associated transport requests could be identified inthe E07* tables. If these contents are needed again in the SAP KWsystem, a backup would have to be imported before running the deletionreport.
                          Authors themselves can define the criteria for sorting and filtering.
                          Authors can save the list in any format they like, by choosing List ->Export -> Local File.
