Importing the transport request

To scan ABAP code, you need to import the Fortify ABAP Extractor transport request on your SAP Server. You can find the transport request in <sast_install_dir>/Tools/SAP_Extractor.zip.

The Fortify ABAP Extractor package, SAP_Extractor.zip, contains the following files:

  • K900<release_number>.<system_id>
  • R900<release_number>.<system_id>

These files make up the SAP transport request that you must import into your SAP system from outside your local Transport Domain. Have your SAP administrator or an individual authorized to install transport requests on the system import the transport request. These files contain a program, a transaction (YSCA), and the program user interface. After you import them into your system, you can extract your code from the SAP database and prepare it for OpenText SAST scanning.

Installation note

If you get the transport request import error: Install release does not match the current version, then the transport request installation has failed. See Software requirements for supported ABAP versions.

To try to resolve this issue, perform the following steps:

  1. Re-run the transport request import.

    The Import Transport Request dialog box opens.

  2. Select the Options tab.
  3. Select the Ignore Invalid Component Version check box.
  4. Complete the import procedure.

If this does not resolve the issue or if your system runs on an SAP version with a different table structure, OpenText recommends that you export your ABAP file structure using your own technology so that OpenText SAST can scan the ABAP code.
