Transformation & conversion files

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there a way to identify where a particular transformation/conversion file was used?

Meaning if I have a transformation file name, can I see for execution of which package it was used, when it was used, who has used it etc.,?

Transformation file name is mentioned in the DM log text (if it's not hard coded in the advanced DM script). Theoretically you can write an abap program to search for this name.

But the idea is strange, what do you want to achieve?

Thanks Vadim. There are some DM package links, transformation & conversion files which we feel are redundant. As part of a cleanup plan, we want to delete these objects. With the transformation & conversion files, it could be tricky one since they may be used elsewhere other than the DM package links that are planned to be deleted.

So wanted to know if there is a way to identify where (if at all) they are used.

Sorry, but you need to create inventory of your DM packages (for example in Excel) with all required information...

Yes, it's a job to be done, but it's the only way to maintain your system properly.

By the way, conversion files are only mentioned in the text of transformation files. Not mentioned in the logs...
