z_locked_users_report

The z_locked_users_report project is an application implemented using ABAP Object Services, designed primarily to manage and report on the status of user accounts — specifically, those that are locked or unlocked. This project leverages the power of SAP's ALV (ABAP List Viewer) for a user-friendly interface, facilitating administrative tasks related to user management in SAP systems.

User Lock Status Report

implemented

Core

Displays a list of locked or unlocked users based on a selection entered by the user. This is executed through an ABAP report, providing a straightforward interface for viewing user status directly within the SAP environment.

User Navigation

implemented

UI

Facilitates seamless navigation to the SU01 transaction code for user maintenance directly from the report interface, enabling a more integrated user management experience within SAP.

Overview

The z_locked_users_report project is structured around SAP's ABAP programming runtime environment. It involves various components to manage and present data about user account statuses. The architecture is designed to integrate seamlessly with external services, emphasizing both interaction through configuration and data presentation via SAP's ALV (ABAP List Viewer) framework.

Primary Components

User Management Report Module

Generates reports on user lock statuses and facilitates navigation to user administration.

Dependencies:
  • cl_salv_table
  • cl_salv_events_table
  • cl_salv_columns_table
  • if_salv_c_cell_type
  • cx_salv_msg
  • cx_salv_not_found

Design Patterns

Model-View-Controller (MVC)

Separates data handling (Model), user interaction (View), and application logic (Controller) to improve modularity and maintainability.

Found in: The `Z_LOCKED_USERS.abap` file represents the Model and Controller that handle data retrieval and logical operations. The ALV framework acts as the View by rendering the data display.

Event-Driven Programming

Implements event handling for user interactions with the ALV grid

Found in: The lcl_alv_handler class implements event handling for grid clicks

Factory Pattern

Uses cl_salv_table=>factory for creating ALV instances

Found in: The display_data form utilizes the factory method pattern through cl_salv_table=>factory

Code Patterns

ALV Reporting

A common pattern in ABAP for generating interactive and interactive report displays using the ABAP List Viewer

Example: Z_LOCKED_USERS.abap

Transaction Navigation

Navigation to SAP transactions like SU01 for efficient user management directly from reports

Example: Z_LOCKED_USERS.abap

Implementation of SAP selection screen with radio buttons for user input

Example: Z_LOCKED_USERS.abap

Dynamic ALV Configuration

Dynamic configuration of ALV grid properties including column settings and event handling

Example: Z_LOCKED_USERS.abap

Error Handling

Implementation of TRY-CATCH blocks for handling potential ALV-related exceptions

Example: Z_LOCKED_USERS.abap
