Modification 1

Security Tests in the Extended Program Check

The new security checks in the extended program check scan ABAP programs for security issues. The security checks perform a static analysis of the ABAP source code and report any potential security risks.

The security checks can be executed as follows:

If used from ATC, the checks are integrated into the transport release functions and can be executed from the ABAP Development Tools (ADT).

The security checks must be purchased as a separate product. Additional licensing costs are incurred if the security checks are used in customer systems. The program RSLIN_SEC_LICENSE_SETUP can be used to provide the security check option in a system. This requires the authorization modify global check variants in ATC.

Modification 2

Documentation of Security Risks

Potential security risks in ABAP programs are documented in the ABAP security notes.
