SLIN vs SCI

[Former Member]

Hi All.

With the new code inspector in, do we really need to do an extended program check via SLIN?

All the checks done by SLIN are also done by SCI if I am not mistaken.

Can someone please shed more light on this? I want to understand the diff between the 2 checks!

Thanks in adv.

This is what i got from SAP help about SCI,

CODE INSPECTOR
The Code Inspector tests single objects or object sets (programs, function groups, classes, interfaces, Dictionary objects) for performance, security, serviceability, error proneness, and statistical information.

You can call the Code Inspector for the relevant single objects directly from the ABAP Editor (SE38), the Function Builder (SE37), or the Class Builder (SE24) (Object->Check->Code Inspector). The system then checks using a default check variant.

Object sets, check variants, and inspections are created using transaction SCI.
Object Sets and Check Variants (that is, combinations of single checks to which you can assign parameters) are managed independently of one another. An Inspection connects one check variant with an object set. Inspections, object sets, and check variants are created by one userlocally |  | or visible to all users globally |  |.

An inspection returns a Check Result, from which you can derive another object set.
