No Userexits in SUSG/SCMON Data

[mkotterer]

Hi,

apparently called Userexits are not part of the data aggregation done by SUSG/SCMON.

In the documentation of SCMON it says: "The ABAP Call Monitor allows you to monitor the execution of ABAP procedures (function modules, method calls, forms) and their leading requests (business processes) in the live ABAP system in parallel to productive use. Using this tool, you can focus on usages of a business process that is initiated by a request entry point - such as a specific transaction, RFC call, URL request, or ABAP report.

As a result of this monitoring, you get a list of executed request entry points along with all ABAP procedures that have been executed under the umbrella of these entry points.The ABAP Call Monitor not only indicates that the procedure was called in the first place, but also provides an execution counter for each procedure."

Are Userexits and Includes within Userexits not considered ABAP procedures executed under the umbrella of an entry point?

I am trying to trace Customer Exits e.g.. ZXLOIU02

Can we in any way influence the data selected?

Thanks and best regards,

Max

If I understand your question

• User-Exits are executed within a form (e.g. form SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE of include MV45AFZZ)
• Customer-Exits are executed within a function module (e.g. EXIT_SAPLMBMB_001)

Which kind of user exit do you want to trace, that is not traced?

Hi,

sorry I was not clear, I am trying to trace customer exits.

[Sandra_Rossi]

You should NOT find the include but you should find the corresponding function module which contains the line INCLUDE ZXLOIU02. In SUSG/SCMON, it's called procedure:

• type: FUNC
• name: <name of function module>

Hi Sandra,

thanks for the information!

So to get all Customer Exits I would have to check in CMOD which ones are active and then go through SUSG Data and check for the corresponding function modules?

My previous thinking was I could easily identify customer objects because they start with Y/Z. Those function modules start with 'EXIT_SAPL*' though.

[Sandra_Rossi]

Yes, SCMON/SUSG/UPL data is only about CALL FUNCTION, PERFORM, CALL METHOD, but not INCLUDE.

Yes, the solution will be a little bit less easy than you expect.

Hi Sandra,

unfortunate but it is what it is I guess.

Thank you so much for the clarification, much appreciated!

Best regards,

Dear @Sandra_Rossi,

Thank you for your answers and your active contribution.

I have a question regarding the fact that User Exit includes are not part of SCMON / SUSG collected usage data... Since Custom Code Migration application, in the context of a S4 migration project, is able to scope findings based on the usage configuration and delete unused custom code by adding them to a deletion transport request, how would the system be aware those user exit includes are in fact really used?

Thank you.

Regards,

Olivier

Looking again at the original question, INCLUDE ZXLOIU02 is only in the function module EXIT_SAPLLOI1_002, so if this function module is not called, it implies that the code inside ZXLOIU02 is not called.

@OSO_MH For information (I don't know if it answers your question).

[OSO_MH]

Sorry, @Sandra_Rossi  I may have been not precise enough 🙂

It was like a more generic question, but let's take the original topic example... Let's imagine EXIT_SAPLLOI1_002 has been executed from standard program. You explained that the function module EXIT_SAPLLOI1_002 call would be traced in SUSG but not the include ZXLOIU02 (which is included within the function module).

The question is, the standard SAP Custom Code Migration app is able to remove unused custom code from one system by creating a deletion transport request so we don't have to bother with unused custom code remediation. That seems great! But since the include ZXLOIU02 would not appear in SUSG, how does the application know this include should not be considered as unused?

Hope it's clearer now 🙂

Thank you.

@OSO_MH I don't know the standard SAP Custom Code Migration app. Probably that SAP programs can do exactly as humans do, i.e. see that the include ZXLOIU02 is used by only the function module EXIT_SAPLLOI1_002, which is not used, so propose to remove ZXLOIU02. It's what I would do.
