Description RDDFINDL is a help program for RDDFINDO. Please read the relevant documentation. Due to the relatively short runtime, this program can be executed online without problems. Program RDDFINDL searches table GODIR for entries with an empty status flag and stores these in the exception table FINDOEXCPT. Background: Table GODIR created by program RDDFINDO contains all the objects of a system which have no entry in table TADIR. RDDFINDO notes any reasons why the entry is missing and enters in the status flag why the TADIR entry is necessary for the corresponding object. If the status flag is empty, this means that RDDFINDO could not find any reason and it might be accidental that the TADIR entry is missing. For these objects, the system administrator now has to decide manually whether or not the missing TADIR entry is actually irrelevant or whether an entry now has to be generated (e.g. for transport). In order to keep this manual adjustment as small as possible, it is possible to use program RDDFINDL to transfer all the objects currently in table GODIR which have an empty status flag into an exception table. The next time RDDFINDO is executed, the entries found there will be ignored, i.e. they will be marked as irrelevant and therefore they will not be reported to be potentially critical. CAUTION ! This program may only be executed by experienced users who understand exactly how it functions and what are the consequences. If RDDFINDL is used irresponsibly, important objects might be included in the exception list and then not be able to be transported at a later time. Precondition A table GODIR filled by the execution of program RDDFINDO immediatelybeforehand. If the exception table should initially only be filled with objects of the system, you have to make sure that RDDFINDL is started with parameter PV_XCLR. In most cases it seems sensible to choose parameter PV_NOEXC in programRDDFINDO to initially fill the exception table (i.e. RDDFINDO does not consult the exception list). Output Program RDDFINDL writes all the actions in the log of the corresponding program RDDFINDO: e.g. /usr/sap/trans/log/RDDFINDO. (that is e.g. RDDFINDO.B20). |
