abapwulu

Where-Used-List Updater / Throw the Trident

Purpose

This tool updates the where-used list for ABAP repository objects in a package.

It can process:

• single package
• package including all subpackages recursively

Use it when where-used information is missing, outdated and you do not want to run full system index. Handy for sandbox systems, local Docker ABAP Trial instances.

Usage

Option 1 - Report: ZSAPDEV_WULU_RUN

Use this if you want to run the update from a classic executable report.

Option 2 - ADT Class Runner: ZCL_SAPDEV_WULU_RUN

Use this if you want to run the update directly from ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse.

Report Usage

Execute report ZSAPDEV_WULU_RUN.

Input Fields

• Package: technical package name to process
• Recursive: checkbox to include subpackages recursively

Execution Modes

• Recursive not selected Only the entered package is processed.
• Recursive selected The entered package and all subpackages are processed recursively.

Result

• Success message is shown.

Notes

• Recursive processing may take longer, depending on package size. Schedule a background job using the report.

ADT Class Runner Usage

Run class ZCL_SAPDEV_WULU_RUN in Eclipse / ADT as ABAP Console Application. (Windows Keyboard Shortcut: F9)

The runner uses constants inside the class:

• package name
• recursive mode flag

Before running, maintain these values in the source code.

Example

    CONSTANTS package_name         TYPE devclass  VALUE 'SALV_DYNPRO'.
    CONSTANTS recursive_processing TYPE abap_bool VALUE abap_false.

This processes one package only.

If you set:

• recursive_processing = abap_true

the runner processes the package recursively.

Result

• A success message is written

When to Use Which Option

Use the report when:

• you want to enter the package at runtime
• you want a simple executable tool
• you prefer a classic SAP GUI style entry point
• background processing is required

Use the ADT class runner when:

• you work mainly in Eclipse / ADT
• you want quick online developer execution
• hard-coded input values are acceptable

Summary

This utility provides a simple way to refresh where-used information for ABAP package content.
