The Performer Suite is ready to use right after installation, but by using some RFC-enabled customer Function Modules, the list of features can be expanded. In the case of BW Releases 7.4 and higher it is even necessary to use customer Function Modules for the SAP synchronization.
...
| # | Function Module | Description | Module |
| 1 | Z_RFC_ENTITY_SYNC | Synchronization with SAP objects. If the Function Module is not installed, the synchronization works, but with less performance. | General |
| 2 | Z_RFC_READ_REPORT | Read the Source code of Includes, Reports and Function Modules. | Docu Performer, |
| 3 | Z_RFC_GET_DTP_DETAILS | Read DTP Filter and Semantic Groups. If the Function Module is not installed, DTPs are still documented, but without Filters and Semantic Groups. | Docu Performer |
| 4 | Z_RFC_AUTH_CHECK | Identify users who are authorized to Queries. If the Function Module is not installed, this will still work, but with much less performance. | Docu Performer |
| 5 | Z_RFC_USAGE_ANALYSIS | Mandatory for Where-Used analysis of InfoObjects and reporting entities. The Where-Used analysis of InfoProvider works also without the Function Module. | System Scout |
| 6 | Z_RFC_CODESCAN | Mandatory for a scan of ABAP source code (coding in Transformations, Includes, Methods, DTP Routines, etc.) | System Scout |
| 7 | Z_RFC_GET_STRING | Mandatory for documentation of Analysis Processes (APDs). The information is stored in a table field of type STRING that cannot be read using standard Function Module RFC_READ_TABLEtable calls where at least one field is of type STRING. | Docu Performer |
| 8 | Z_RFC_TRANSLATION | Change descriptions of objects in relevant tables of the SAP BW-System. | Migration Booster, |
| 9 | Z_RFC_ADSO_GETDTL_XML | Read information about an ADSO. | Migration Booster |
| 10 | Z_RFC_ADSO_CREATE_XML | Create and activate ADSOs in the SAP BW-System. | Migration Booster |
| 11 | Z_RFC_FUNCTION_DELETE | Delete Function Modules in the SAP BW-System. Required when updating Function Modules. | General |
| 12 | Z_RFC_CHECK_ACT_TR | Check, activate, and assign transports of all object types in the Translation Steward. | Translation Steward |
| 13 | Z_RFC_HCPR_CREATE | Create and activate HCPRs in the SAP BW-System. (can only be created if the class 'cl_rso_hcpr_metadata_api' is found in your BW - see SAP Note 2391785) | Migration Booster |
...
You need the following SAP authorizations if you want to install the customer function modules:
AAAB - Cross-application Authorization Objects
S_RFC - Authorization Check for RFC Access [T-B274007000]
...
Authorizations Field | Values |
ACTVT | 01, 02, 03, 07, 16 Execute |
DEVCLASS | $TMP, *, Y*,Z* |
OBJNAME 1 | Y*, Z* |
OBJTYPE | FUNGR, FUNC |
P_ GROUP | * |
For "DEVCLASS" and "OBJNAME" customer-specific namespaces are required.
