locked T-codes

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

how can i find the locked tcodes.

if we know the Tcode it can be checked with SM01,

but if i want to know all the Tcodes in the system which are

locked, How can i find out.

You can see this in table TSTC, field is CINFO. Value 2 = locked

Edited to add, you need to enter 21 & 22 for CINFO in your search

Alex,

I was looking into TSTC as well as I find this a good question. But I have no problems starting transactions where the TSTC record CINFO holds the value '02'. I am on ECC 6.0. Any clues?

Clues were in your edit Got it! Add to sticky please!

Hi Jurjen,

I think there are more codes but those are ones I've used in the past.

There is a post on ITToolbox which lists codes for custom tx which are locked but I haven't tested that. ( use range is A0 - A9 )

I hadn't looked into this in so long, that I cannot remember whether I had infact looked into it

21 = locked area menu

22 = locked parameter transaction

24 = locked dialog transaction

A0-9 = locked report transaction

B0-9 = locked variant transactions

Not sure whether I missed anything there...

Just for the record and to clear my own conscience: I don't believe in locking transactions... you can cause some serious problems in the system by doing that in certain places and a skilled person (or even an unskilled person with a simple set of instructions) could most likely start the functionality anyway...

It is a much safer option to restrict their authority to start the transaction and their authority to use the transaction to completion - which is different from just starting it.

Hi,

Thank you for the response

I completely agree with Julius, we can restrict a tcode with authoization concept.

still want to know if there is any possibility.

I had tested with both the options .

21 - 22 and A0 - A9.

I locked SM02 and when i go with 21 - 22 and A0 - A9 options it is not showing.

but when i enter SM02 in tcode field, the CINFO value is 2.

That sounds like SE16 which is just showing you '2 ' => double-click on the record, it will be '24'...

Hi julius,

gr8, now it works. before i had given values from 21 -22.

we should give it from 20 .

thank you very much,

got required info.

Yes, you are correct. It is 20 not 24.

Difference between 20 and 24 is...

20 = locked dialog transaction without additional authorization object checked at tcode start.

24 = locked dialog transaction with additional authorization object checked at tcode start.

You can see this additional object (and field values) checked at tcode start in transaction SE93.

Cheers,

Julius
