"PD Where Used" Button – An Extension for SAP Integration Suite

[emreanil]

For consultants managing integrations on SAP Integration Suite, small yet effective tools can greatly simplify daily tasks. Based on this need, I developed an extension called: "PD Where Used" Button.

What does "PD Where Used" button do?

While working on a complex iFlow that contained many ProcessDirect calls, I found myself constantly switching tabs, manually searching for where each target address was used. The lack of a quick overview made this process annoying and time-consuming, especially in projects with dozens (or hundreds) of iFlows.

The "PD Where Used" button analyzes all ProcessDirect addresses used in the currently open iFlow and lists which other iFlows are referencing them. The results are displayed in a new popup window.

This extension has been developed and tested on the SAP Integration Suite running in a Cloud Foundry environment.

 

Installation

For Chrome: Install directly from Chrome Web Store. After installation, button must appear in your flows.
For Edge: Install directly from Edge Store. After installation, button must appear in your flows.

Acknowledgement

I want to sincerely thank Dominic Beckbauer, the creator of the CPI Helper extension, for his support and guidance throughout the development of this tool. His feedback was incredibly valuable.

This is a great feature, would be useful where the address is static, for dynamic addresses this option would not work, such as determining through property.

Am getting the below error.

Hi @Vijay121, 

It supports only Cloud Foundry systems for now, if you are trying on Neo system you will get that error. Also you should be on the Integration Suite system, not on CPI.  

Your url should look like: xxx-is-dev.integrationsuite-cpi026.cfapps.eu10-002.hana.ondemand.com
It shouldn't be like: xxx-is-dev.it-cpi026.cfapps.eu10-002.hana.ondemand.com

If the problems are not these, we can check it again.

Hi Emre, thanks for sharing the useful extension. Is it also available in MS Edge? I observe that many companies now are prohibiting add-ons/extension in Chrome.

Thanks Emre for developing this.

Thank you

Hi @sunny-work , I sent it to Edge team the extension and it is reviewing by Edge team right now. When it is published I will let you know and share the URL. Thank you for your kind words.

Hello Emeranil,

thank you for this very much needed Extension. I have tried installing this in Chrome to run for a few of the iFlows we have implemented but seem to have some issue. 

I would need some help as I see an error message 'failed to fetch' while trying to run the PD Where used button.

Hi @vcha-camelot87,

There might be a problem with flow name. Have u tried on another flows? If it still doesn't work, we can debug it together. You can reach me from Linkedin.

Hi @sunny-work 

I published it for Edge. You can access from here.

Regards,

Emre

Emre, that's definitely a great tool to close a missing feature in CI. However, why didn't you implement it as a plugin or enhancement of CPI Helper?

Thank you @philippeaddor, 
Actually I didn't know I could do that. I have some new ideas, maybe in the future I can implement the new features like that.
Regards.
