Object Level

Data Lineage at Object level for DDIC Entities.
We export two files: one file with all the relations of DDC Entities (“Relations”) and one file with more details (e.g. Technical Name and descriptions) (“Details”) of the entities.

In the “Relations” file only entities are included that have a connection in the data lineage. E.g. a View with its base tables.

In the Details file, we identify CDS Data Definition.

The supported entities for the Object level are the following:

  • Tables

  • Views

  • CDS Data Definitions

  • Transactions

(info) Structures (INTTAB) and Append-Structures (APPEND) are not supported.

Field Level

Data Lineage at Field level for DDIC Entities.

Every origin of and between Fields will be part of the premium edition. We do not parse code (at the moment) and simply show the 1on1 Mappings of tables and views we get from SAP.

We export 3 more files:

  • Buildups - with all buildups of tables, views, and data definitions. Datatype, length, and decimals of fields.

  • BuildupDescriptions - with the descriptions of the fields

  • Mappings - with the 1on1 Mapping of the fields between tables, views, and data definitions


Parsing the ABAP Code

Wit the S/4HANA connector it is possible to scan the ABAP code too. We identify which ABAP code is calling other ABAP codes. We also find out which tables are modified and which are read by the ABAP code. This is how we map a data lineage. Here you can find a list of key words which are identified in ABAP code.
