ways to remove unused data elements

Former Member — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:22:56 GMT

Hi,

I have to remove unused data elements and domains form my system.

Is there any way(slin check, transaction or a report) to know unused data element in DDIC?

Regards,

Shubhra.

So you need some sort of mass-where-used-list. I did not find this in the standard (maybe somebody else?), but it should be not too complex to write a little helper program that loops via TADIR based on selection, determines the where-used count for each object e.g. using function module RS_EU_CROSSREF and presents the result as an ALV-list. Those with count 0 are your deletion candidates.

Hi,

Your requirement will be solved if we know the "where-used-list" of the object.

Try with the Function Module "RS_TOOL_ACCESS" and pass your objects and package to Function module. This will return where that object is used.

You are only removing unused objects in the customer name space, I hope, not the SAP-created objects.
