Purpose

The purpose of this document is to instruct SAP customers on how to analyse ABAP dumps.

Overview

How to troubleshoot ABAP Dumps

Troubleshooting

When looking at an ABAP system you can sometimes come across runtime errors in Transaction ST22:

Clicking into the "Today" or "Yesterday" tab will bring up all the ABAP Runtime errors you have encountered in the past 2 days.

You can also filter the dates for a particular dump by using the filter feature:

Here are some examples of runtime errors you might see in ST22:

So from looking at these dumps, you can see

1: Category

2: Runtime Errors

3: ABAP Program

4: Application Component

5: Data & Time.

The ST22 dumps do not not really give you much information here so more information will be needed.

For more information you will then look into the Dev_W files in the transaction ST11

ST11 allows you to look further into the Dev_w files relating to the dumps in ST22:

To find the work Dev_w file that corresponds with the dump, you can see this is ST22.

Go to ST22 > click on the Runtime Errors for "Today", "Yesterday" or a filter. This will being up the specific dump you wish to analyse.

Here you will see 11 columns like so:

Here you can see the columns I have mentioned. The Work Process Index number you need is in the column named WP Index.

Once you find the dev_w index number you can then go to ST11 and find further information:

In the ST11 Dev_w files you have to match the time of the dump in ST22 with the recorded times in the Dev_w process files.

If there no useable information in the Dev_W files, the next step would be to analyse the issue from the Database side.

To analyse from the Database side:

1: Open HANA Studio in SAP HANA Administration Console View

2: Check the diagnosis trace files in accordance with the time stamp of the dump you saw previously in ST22. To do this we have to go to the Diagnosis tab in HANA Studio:

3: Check the time stamp from the ST22 dump (Date and Time), and then match this accordingly with the time in either the Indexserver.trc or nameserver.trc.

Search for the corresponding time stamp mentioned above i.e. 18/11/2015 @ 10:55:43.

Or instead of searching you could use the below SQL:

select top 500 service_name, timestamp, trace_text from m_merged_traces where service_name in ('indexserver', 'nameserver') and timestamp between '2015-11-18 10:40:00' and '2015-11-18 10:59:00'

Searching the nameserver log files can be a good indication of whether your ST22 is related to network issues, you may see errors such as:

  TrexNet          Channel.cpp(00339) : ERROR: reading from channel 151 <127.0.0.1:<host>> failed with timeout error; timeout=10000 ms elapsed [73973]{-1}[-1/-1] 2015-01-28 01:58:55.208048 e TrexNetBuffer    BufferedIO.cpp(01092) : channel 151 from <127.0.0.1:<host>>: read from channel failed; resetting buffer

If you do find some errors similar to the above, firstly check which host the error is pointing to and check whether or not this service was available at the time of the dump.

If this does not yield any useful information, the next step is to ask someone from your network team to look into this. Checking the var/logs/messages is always a great place to start.

When searching through the indexserver.trc file, you could notice some irregularities recorded here. The next step is to search this error on the SAP Service Market Place for a known KBA or Note (Learn how to search more effectively 2081285 - How to enter good search terms to an SAP search? )

Here are the list of steps to be followed to setup a RFC connection from SAP ERP system to BizTalk server.

1. Setup a RFC destination of Type T using transaction code SM59. Under the technical settings use Registered Server Program radio button.

2. Update the SAPRFC.ini file to add the RFC Destination we have created

3. For this example I have created a simple RFC function module inside SE37 TCODE.

4. Created a sample BizTalk Orchestration which would accept the messages from above RFC Function module and sends the response back to SAP

ABAPers: HCP and You

Background on how ABAP developers can use the HCP HANA cloud Platform

How does ABAP help to leverage the benefits of in-memory database technology?

1. AS ABAP running on a traditional RDBMS can access SAP HANA by means of a secondary database connection
2. With SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.3, the SAP HANA database can be used as primary persistence for SAP NetWeaver BW for mainly OLAP use cases.
3. With Suite on HANA, SAP HANA  can also used as the underlying database  for transactional use cases by facilitating a deeper integration of ABAP developments with SAP HANA and thus ease leveraging the strengths of SAP HANA within the application logic.

With regards to SAP Business Suite on HANA, not the side car scenario:

If a new custom table is developed/defined in the ABAP DDIC / data dictionary, what is the correct process to make the DDIC information available in the SAP HANA studio, and if a definition changes in the DDIC, how is this synchronized with the SAP HANA Studio?

With SAP Business Suite on Hana (not in a sidecar scenario), the DDIC objects are immediately visible in the SAP HANA Studio

How can we call stored procedures developed through the SAP HANA studio in the SAP HANA DB in ABAP using “call database procedure”?

The procedure should be created first in HANA studio.  Then from the ABAP, the procedure definition to generate the call database procedure proxy, can be read.

How can we debug?

In the near future HANA release, the plan is  that you can debug directly from ABAP into the procedure by setting a breakpoint in the procedure via the studio.

How can we handle the correction and transport for stored procedures? Can we transport the code (application code and the stored procedure) all in one package?

From future HANA releases the plan is that you can debug directly from ABAP into the procedure by setting a breakpoint in the procedure via the studio.

Answers courtesy of Thomas Jung. Please see his blogs on SCN for more details.

How can a customer analyze the impact of a SAP HANA database migration for custom ABAP code?

The transaction “Code Inspector”  will analyze custom ABAP code after a migration to the SAP HANA database. Please note, that not all lines of code marked by the Code Inspector might require action. The code analysis is static and will show slow code, even if the data set used in the ABAP is very small, and therefore the performance impact could be neglected and code tuning would not be required.

Additional testing can determine for which programs to actually apply the identified changes, and where significant performance gains could be accomplished. These testing efforts are usually in the 5 days range for the customers who used the Code Inspector in the past

It is planned to make the Code Inspector also available to SAP customers prior to a HANA database migration.

I am an ABAP developer. Can I still use my ABAP skills with HANA or do I need to use SQL/SQL Script?

ABAP runs in NetWeaver and NetWeaver runs on many traditional databases. SAP HANA is new database that is added to the list of supported databases of the NetWeaver stack. In the future ABAP will remain a very important language as most SAP solutions are written in ABAP, independent of the underlying database.

However, in order to take full advantage of the in-memory capabilities of HANA in the future much more code will be written and executed directly in the database.

Please see the link to sapinsider article for a three step approach to optimize ABAP code for SAP HANA.

Here are some excerpts from an interview with Thomas:

http://scn.sap.com/community/distinguished-engineers/blog/2012/12/18/the-unofficial-uncensored-thomas-jung-biography-hana-distinguished-engineer

How did the journey from ABAP programmer to HANA programmer feel?

At first it feels a bit foreign because you have to immerse yourself in the database - the database for an ABAP programmer is like a black hole where data goes into and comes out of, and we don't understand it - and we don't care. It's just a big storage space. So we have to begin to care, write more complex SQL like SELECT SUM, Subquery and ORDER BY - all the things we got used to doing at the application server layer. Once you get past this learning curve, moving things to the database that you used the application server for before....

Once you're up to HANA SP05, and using SAPUI5 and Server Side Javascript, it's not all that different to ABAP. Syntax is different but developers pick that up fast. Rich Heilman and I started to feel that things were falling into place, we're creating reusable libraries in JavaSCript and we're doing things we did in ABAP, like creating message class processing like we did in ABAP. Once you've got utilities, it starts to feel really familiar. The workflow for the development process itself is very familiar.

What advice you would give to someone wanting to program in HANA?

Learn some SQL. Get an Advanced SQL book like O'Reilly's Learning SQL. Immerse yourself in that lower-level SQL. Particularly ABAP developers have ignored this for a number of years. Once you're better versed on SQL - just get out and use it. Use the HANA on the Cloud, Developer Center - there are some really low cost options for getting access to HANA and educate yourself. Create something, build something, write SQL - or do something more advanced like creating Analytics Views, SQLScript and eventually HANA Application Services development. That's where traditional ABAP and Java programmers will feel most comfortable.

HotTopics

(updated 2016-2-3)

• For Customers Installing or Upgrading To SAP Data Services 4.2 Support Pack 6 in Windows:

With the release of SAP Data Services 4.1, the EIM Development team introduced a new system variable, %DS_COMMON_DIR%, for Windows installations which is set to C:\ProgramData\Sap BusinessObjects\Data Services by default. This variable is very critical to Data Services operation and logs are collected in this location.

Our latest release, SAP Data Services 4.2 SP 6, has an option to change this system variable to a desired location during installation or upgrade, so that disk space can be managed more efficiently; however setting %DS_COMMON_DIR% to the same location as the product installation directory, %LINK_DIR%, will cause unexpected issues in the product.

It is highly recommended%DS_COMMON_DIR% not be in the same location as %LINK_DIR%. This applies to new installations and upgrades of SAP Data Services 4.2 SP6. If you plan on upgrading your Data Services installation for use with SAP Information Steward, this would apply as well.

For Example:

If %LINK_DIR% or the Product Installation Folder is D:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Data Services, then set %DS_COMMON_DIR% to a separate folder on D Drive such as D:\DSCOMMONDIR, but avoid setting it to D:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Data Services

Hi,

I have a requirement where I have two views embedded to two different windows, so V_MAIN to W_MAIN and V_SECOND to W_SECOND. I have a button on my first view OPEN, when a user clicks on OPEN it calls the second window and the corresponding view V_SECOND as a pop up. User will select a document number listed on the second view, now what I want to do two things here:

1. The document number that user selected in the pop up should go to the V_MAIN.

2. Now based on the document number the V_MAIN should be pre populated.

In the past I have used plugs to move between the views of the same window but I haven't done the scenario like this.

Any suggestion please.

Update 5 Feb 2016: New parameter filenameFromAttachmentName for additional determination of attachment's file name (courtesy of Raffael Herrmann)

Introduction

Splitting a message into multiple messages is a common integration requirement. One of the most common approach is with multi-mapping, however this approach only works for splitting the main payload of the message and not the attachments (unless a custom Java multi-mapping is developed). The splitting feature is also available in the following adapters/modules:

• Seeburger BIC/Splitter module
• B2B Add-on EDISeparator adapter
• Sender mail adapter (available from PI/PO 7.31 SP14, 7.4 SP09)

However, all the above functionality are limited to their respective adapter/module and there are no standard module available that can split attachments into separate messages.

AttachmentSplitterBean aims to provide a generic adapter module solution that is reusable for multiple scenarios across different adapter types. It is configurable and can be used for various scenarios as described in the following Use Cases section.

Use Cases

Below are some example use cases for this module:

• Split attachments generated from files within a ZIP archive
• Split mail attachments
• Split SOAP/Proxy attachments
• Split attachments generated using "Additional Files" feature of NFS/SFTP adapter
• Split attachments generated after Java mapping

Source Code and Deployment Archive

AttachmentSplitterBean belongs in the same adapter module project as FormatConversionBean. Refer to following blog for the location of source code and/or EAR deployment file.

FormatConversionBean - One Bean to rule them all!

Module Parameter Reference

The JNDI name for the module is listed below for adding the module to the processing chain of a communication channel.

Module name = Custom_AF_Modules/AttachmentSplitterBean

Below is a list of the parameters for configuration of the module. Certain parameters will automatically inherit the default values if it is not configured.

Example Configuration

To demonstrate the usage of this module, we will use a scenario whereby attachments are generated by the "Additional Files" feature of the SFTP sender channel.

iFlow 1 - Main scenario to pickup main payload

In the main iFlow, a sender SFTP channel is configured to pick up additional files as attachments. As shown below, all .txt files a split prefix are picked up. Additionally, it will also pick up files of the same name with .file1& .file2 extensions.

The custom module is configured in the module chain. For this example, mode = 'binding' is used, therefore the details of the sender agreement where we intend to send the child messages to are required.

Note: All attachments are sent as child messages to the same sender agreement.

iFlow 2 - Secondary scenario to route generated child messages to final destination

For the secondary scenario, the sender system/interface is configured to match the values in the module parameters above. Although it is technically possible to use a sender comm channel of any type, I recommend using the SOAP channel as it works in listening mode and will execute processing only when a child message is routed to it.

Additionally, if the attachments are non-XML payloads, ensure that the SWCV of the sender interface is blank.

Testing Results

Firstly, the main .txt files and the additional .file1& .file2 files are uploaded to the SFTP source directory.

When the files are picked up by the SFTP channle of iFlow 1, the additional files are attached in the message.

Subsequently, when the message is processed through the module, the attachments are retrieved and dispatched as new messages to iFlow 2.

In the message monitor, both the main message and child messages are displayed.

And finally, we can view the content of the two child messages generated and routed on iFlow 2. These child messages are routed to the receiver system of iFlow 2 - for simplicity purposes, the delivery to the final receiver system will not be shown here.

Conclusion

With AttachmentSplitterBean, we now have a readily available solution to handle scenarios that require processing of attachments. The modules simplifies such scenarios as the child messages can be routed to a secondary iFlow scenario and handled separately. It will no longer be necessary to develop a complex logic to handle both main payload and attachments within a single scenario. Furthermore this is available to be used in any adapter type that allows extension of the module chain.

Below are some real life scenarios where utilizing this module can simplify the design:-

• Preserve file names of input Zip file - using Java Mapping.Solution: after the Zip file is unzipped with Java Mapping to create attachments, the attachments can be split to child messages via AttachmentSplitterBean in the receiver channel of iFlow 1. In iFlow 2, DynamicAttributeChangeBean can be added in the sender/receiver channel to dynamically set the filename and target location.
• Sender file adapter - check files before transmission to PI - Solution: AttachmentSplitterBean can be used to split the main PDF file and additional TXT file. The main PDF file can be processed as normal to the target file system, while the TXT file will be processed by the second scenario to map to IDoc (any additional modules can be added to the second scenario as required).
