T-Code FILE

Former Member — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:54:57 GMT

Can someone point me to where I can find a discription/definition of what the T-Code FILE does? I have a request to allow a group of 100 users access to this T-Code in all of our systems. In the past this t-code was Black Listed and not allowed to be granted but to only like 2 people. The reason it was Black Listed is before my time, so I would like to get a better understanding with what this T-Code allows.

Thank you,

Robert

In SE16 check for TSTC table that will give you description of tcdoe

Doing that just tells me this --> Cross-Client File Names/Paths

Unless I need to do something else?

To get a first impression, I would usually:

Execute the tcode and start the application help (shortcut = ".he")

Check whether it is a report type transaction.

Check whether it calls function module AUTHORITY_CHECK_DATASET.

Check whether it calls function module AUTHORITY_CHECK_TCODE.

Check the SU24 indicators.

Check the SE97 calling "couples".

Check OSS notes.

etc (depending on results from above)

Cheers,

Julius

Hi,

Along with the valuable inputs from Julius (Thanks as always ) in case of Z-tcodes we may look into

1. se93 for short description of t-code. (If maintained properly)

2. Check the Program name.

3. Get into the program coding.se38

4. Check for any update entries the t-code is doing.

5. Check for the Authority Check Statement and Call Function.

6. Most Z-codes wont have su24 maintained so authority check statement needs to be looked into.

7. For general transaction we may look into Tcdcouples or se97 as mentioned but in certain cases we find lot of txns being called and may lead to difficult scenario to decide. But its better to have a look into.

8. From se93 we can also get the package info and whether its updating any table or not. etc.

Please let us know if any issue.

Regards

Aveek.
