New Support

SummaryDetails
Support for source stored in abapGit (beta)It is now possible to package and deliver source code directly from an abapGit source code repository. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/TECHNOS/SAP+ABAP+Analyzer+-+1.0#SAPABAPAnalyzer1.0-Prepareanddeliverthesourcecode. This method of source code delivery is in addition to packaging the results of a CAST SAP Extractor NG extraction. In this release, support for abapGit is in beta.

38428To prevent erroneous quality rule results, CDS View objects that do NOT begin with /, Y and Z are no longer analyzed.

Added support for AMT saving optimized mode (technical).

1.0.0-funcrel

Note

This is the first release of the SAP ABAP Analyzer as a standalone extension. The SAP ABAP Analyzer has been externalised as an extension to give the feature more flexibility to future development. The SAP ABAP Analyzer embedded in AIP Core will continue to exist and will be shipped "out of the box" with AIP Core, but no bugs will be fixed and no new features or functionality will be added. 5 new quality rules will be added in the first release of the "standalone" SAP ABAP Analyzer extension, but otherwise the extension will have the same features and functionality on release as the SAP ABAP Analyzer embedded in AIP Core. The new SAP ABAP Analyzer is compatible with AIP Core ≥ 8.3.43. All future development of the SAP ABAP Analyzer (bug fixes, new features, functionality etc.) will be completed in the SAP ABAP Analyzer extension only. The behaviour is as follows: Nothing is automatic - for both AIP Console and "legacy" CAST AIP deployments, the SAP ABAP Analyzer extension must be manually downloaded and installed in order to use it If the extension is installed, CAST AIP Console/CAST Management Studio will automatically detect that it exists and will use the extension rather than the analyzer embedded in AIP Core. Once the extension has been installed and used to produce analysis results, it is not possible to reverse this choice by removing the extension and re-analyzing the source code again.
