Source Extractor - ABAP - Run extraction - Performance issue

This page provides the approach to troubleshoot the performance issue encountered while running the ABAP extractors:

For more information, refer to:

• Official Documentation For 8.4: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/DOCCOM/CAST+SAP+Extractor+NG+-+Documentation+-+8.4.
• Official Documentation For 8.3: CAST SAP Extractor NG - ABAP source code extraction - 8.3.x - 8.2.x - 8.0.x 

• TKB page for Information Guides : Source Extractors

When a performance issue occurs during the SAP Extraction :

1. Make sure that you have defined the extraction scope on the specific source code. Custom source code starts with Y* or Z*. This is explained in the documentation CAST SAP Extractor NG - ABAP source code extraction - 8.3.x - 8.2.x - 8.0.x in the paragraph Source code extraction scope, and not defined the scope to the whole system. If the scope is defined on the whole system, the extraction will take a very long time (more than a week). This Field should be filled with Y* or Z*.
2. Check if the option Extract Sub Code elements is checked:
   
   1. If it is checked, uncheck this option. Note that this will impact the analysis result and you will miss some quality rules.
   2. If you cannot uncheck this option or if the option is not checked, run multiple extractions by specifying for each extraction a smallest scope.
3. If the CAST ABAP Extractor version is 8.0.4 or lower:
   1. In the section Additional Tables Extraction Options, if the option Extract Number of Rows is checked 
      
      1. Uncheck this option
      2. Run the Package again.
   2. If you need to extract the Number of Rows, use the latest version of the CAST ABAP Extractor.
4. If you do not find the information you are looking for or solution for your problem, contact CAST Technical Support and provide the access to the machine where the extraction is currently running to let CAST Support team investigate with the following Relevant Input.
