CMS Snapshot Analysis - Run Analyzer - Missing objects - ABAP - Missing SAP views

This page is a troubleshooting guide for the problem of missing SAP View objects after a SAP/ABAP analysis.

Step by Step scenario

1. Analyze your application
2. Open Enlighten
3. Look for SAP View objects

Action Plan

To troubleshoot this issue, you need the following Relevant input

Perform the below actions:

1. In analysis log, look for warning "unterminated entity reference" just after the information message Loading SAP tables like below: 
    

   analysis log warning

   Loading SAP tables file 'C:\CASTMS\Deploy\appli1\p2\Tbl\SAP_views_0001.sap.xml'. . .
   unterminated entity reference 'CM' (pos l: 325379 col: 69)
   72263 tables 0 views 

   If you cannot find this warning in the analysis log, then switch directly to step 3. Else proceed with step 2.
   
   

2.  Check in the extracted SAP tables file the line and column numbers given in the warning message. For instance in the example below:
    In the SAP_views_0001.sap.xml, line 325379 contains & and % characters near column 69

   culprit line

   <SELECTION Table="JBRDBKO" Column="RIDEXT" Operator="LK" Value="'&CM%'" AndOr="OR" /> 

   The & character is present in the value of the view request. This character must be converted before being written in an XML file. The workaround is to remove & and % characters from the value in the SAP_views_0001.sap.xml file and re-run the analysis.
