Impacts of changes made in CAST AIP 8.3.16 on Quality Model results post upgrade

SAP / ABAP

SAP-172 - "CX_ROOT" should not be used in TRY .. CATCH.. ENDTRY block (8412)

The parent technical criterion for this rule was incorrectly set to "61020: Programming Practices - Modularity and OO Encapsulation Conformity", but it has been changed to "61014: Programming Practices - Error and Exception Handling". Therefore, after an upgrade to CAST AIP 8.3.16 and the generation of a post-upgrade consistency snapshot on unchanged source code, results may change. Grades for the new and previous parent technical criteria and Health Factors will change.

Other impacts of changes made in CAST AIP 8.3.16

Oracle PL/SQL (embedded analyzer)

A change has been made to the way in which the analyzer handles the XMLROOT syntax (use of an "identifier" instead of "VERSION"). As a result of this change, after an upgrade to CAST AIP ≥ 8.3.16 and the generation of a post upgrade consistency snapshot on unchanged source code, you should expect many Oracle PL/SQL objects to be marked as modified.
