Dear Hirotaka have you considered using 

 transaction SICF?

Here is a way to disable unused ICF services:


1. Use transaction SICF

  • Go to transaction SICF.
  • Navigate through the ICF service hierarchy to locate the unused service reported by EWA.
  • You can use the search function (Ctrl+F) or filter by service name, path, or technical name.

2. Deactivate the ICF Service

  • Right-click the ICF service.
  • Select Deactivate Service.
  • Confirm the deactivation when prompted.

Once deactivated:

  • The service will no longer respond to HTTP requests.
  • It will be marked as inactive in SICF.
  • It won’t be available to end-users or external systems until reactivated.

3. Optional – Document the Change

  • Make a note or use Solution Manager Change Documentation to track why the service was disabled, especially if managed in a regulated environment.

4. Important Considerations

  • Only disable services that are confirmed to be unused, either by EWA monitoring over time or by internal review.
  • Do not deactivate services that might be called infrequently or by background jobs unless you're absolutely sure they are not needed.
  • You can reactivate the service at any time by right-clicking and choosing Activate Service.

5. Security Note

  • Disabling unused ICF services improves your system’s security posture by reducing the attack surface.
  • Consider regularly reviewing ICF services via EWA or Security Baseline Reporting.
