Important!

  • Keep the original system for 3rd party packages
  • Panaya uses standard SAP Workbench Change Requests (CRs). For accurate results, verify that the CR includes all the required information to be considered valid transport (e.g., routing information).
  • You cannot submit an automatic fix for objects with Syntax errors. Your sync request will be declined to protect the existing code.
  • For every Object, a target system must be allocated. Panaya requires this information to determine where to submit the CR.
  • To submit Intelligent Code Remediation (ICR) fixes to your SAP development or sandbox system, all custom objects Original System should point to the system where the fixes are submitted.

Server Side Installation

 

Step 1 - Download the Source Code

The Intelligent Code Remediation fixes should be synced with your Development environment.

  2.  Verify that the relevant System is selected in the drop-down list
     
  3. In SAP Development > Intelligent Code Remediation - Tool, select Download Code


Step 2 - Create an Executable Program & Transaction

  1. Open the downloaded TXT file and copy the entire source code displayed
  2. Use the copied source code to create a new executable program in SAP

Caution

Panaya RDx synchronizer requires that a transaction with the exact hardcoded name ZPANAYA_ACC_SYNC be present in the system.
Be sure to create such a transaction and keep the name unchanged.

How to Uninstall?
To remove the Intelligent Code Remediation Synchronizer, delete the ABAP program ZPANAYA_ACC_SYNC.



Step 3 - Set Server Parameters

  • Enable GUI Scripting
     The Intelligent Code Remediation synchronizer requires SAP GUI scripting to be enabled.
     Please set the system profile parameters as shown below -
     
     - sapgui/user_scripting = TRUE
     - sapgui/user_scripting_disable_recording = FALSE
     - sapgui/user_scripting_set_readonly = FALSE

More detailed information can be found here -

Step 4 - Enable Authorizations for Users

Each user running the Panaya Synchronizer must have a set of authorizations within the SAP system as listed below:

  1. Object S_TCODE
    a. Value ZPANAYA_ACC_SYNC 
  2. Object S_GUI (Authorization for GUI activities)
     a. ACTVT (Activity) – 61 (Export)
    Note - This authorization is required only in versions 4.7 and higher


Step 5 – Create a Transport

  1. Create a Workbench transport request for each target system where changes are required. All transports should be created before the sync run begins.
  2. In the created transport, create tasks for each user who will submit changes.
  3. The transport(s) must have this exact description -
    “PANAYA Automatic Code Corrections”
Good to Know!
If you only plan to apply changes to a single target system, one transport request is sufficient.

 

 



 

Client-Side Installation

 

Step 1 - Enable GUI Scripting & Deny Pop-Up Notifications

Panaya sync requires SAP GUI scripting to be enabled and disable SAP pop-up notifications for accelerated testing.
The process described here must be repeated for every client machine using the Synchronizer.



Step 2 - Set SAP Network Settings to High-Speed Connection

To assure completeness and accuracy of data recorded, please make sure the Network Settings is set to High-Speed Connection for every client machine using the Synchronizer.
Follow the instructions described here.



Step 3 - Install .NET Framework

 .NET Framework version 4.6.2 or above must be present on each user's local machine running the Intelligent Code Remediation Synchronizer.
 We recommend using .NET Framework version 4.0. Most computers already have .NET Framework, so usually, no installation is needed.
If you experience issues while installing the Synchronizer, please install the .NET Framework from Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.



Step 4 - Security Settings Configuration

 Please ensure that proxy settings are not preventing the Synchronizer from working correctly. 

If you have an anti-virus, VPN, Remote Machine, or Virtual Machine, you might need to add Panaya to the safe domains list. Sites on this list do not require a proxy or any other security permission.

Please add *.Panaya.com to your white-list or your exceptions lists (e.g., proxy, anti-virus, etc.)

Alternatively, add the following URLs to your white-list:

my.panaya.com or emea.panaya.com

cdn.panaya.com

reports.panaya.com

sso-emea.panaya.com

sso-us.panaya.com

  • Add Panaya (*.panaya.com) to your trusted sites per the exact steps in this article
  • If you are using Microsoft Edge, no additional browser configuration is required 
  • If you are using Internet Explorer, no additional browser configuration is required
