visualization of abap code

jens_becher — Wed, 26 May 2010 14:22:43 GMT

Hi,

does anybody know freeware tools to visualize abap code (i.e. call graphs etc.), like it is obviously done with ct-codeview analyzer ([http://www.ct-software.de/tools-for-erp/graph/pdf/Whitepaper.pdf]) or with the magellan explorer [http://www.abap-engineer.org/]?

Thx.

Regards,

Jens

Nice. Never heard of these. I'm certainly not aware of any freeware product. if I was to develop something like this, I'd look for something that stores the graphic as an xml (like FreeMind does), then write an ABAP to generate the XML.

So, if you just wanted a hierarchy - then freemind can do it for you - once you've got the xml.

Hi Matt,

yes I would start the development like you, creation of some data file in appropriate format (i.e. xml) and import in some "tool". But I don't know a good tool and its format. Maybe GraphViz or so would be useful, but I hoped someone has already developed something like I want
