ABAP Code Intelligence Overview
ABAP Code Intelligence provides automated analysis and documentation generation for ABAP development objects from connected SAP systems. The application stores generated artifacts in a dedicated document grounding space, making technical documentation, Clean Core recommendations, user manuals, and object-related insights searchable and available to both users and AI agents.
The scope of analyzed objects and generated document types is determined by the configuration of each SAP destination in the Destination Management Application (link here).
Key Features
- Automated extraction and analysis of ABAP development objects from connected SAP systems
- AI-generated technical and functional documentation
- Clean ABAP and Clean Core recommendations
- Support for multiple ABAP object types, including classes (CLAS) and programs (PROG)
- AI-ready knowledge base powered by vectorized ABAP content
- Grounded Search Simulation for testing AI responses
Step 1. Open the ABAP Code Intelligence application in the AI Agent group:
Here is the main application view:
ABAP Object Groups and Documents
Results are grouped by ABAP object.
Each group represents a single ABAP development object and contains all generated documentation and recommendations associated with that object.
Example:
ABAP Object Name: /SKYBFR/CL_BEM_ERROR_UTILS
Available generated artifacts:
- UAT Guide
- User Guide
- Technical Specification
- Functional Specification
- Clean ABAP Recommendations
Selecting a document opens its content for review.
ABAP Object Types
The application currently supports the following ABAP object types:
CLAS (ABAP Class)
Represents an ABAP class. The application analyzes the object and generates documentation and recommendations based on its implementation.
PROG (ABAP Program)
Represents an executable ABAP program. The application analyzes the object and generates documentation and recommendations based on its implementation.
Document Types
For each supported ABAP object, the system generates multiple documentation artifacts.
- Functional Specification: describes the business purpose and functional behavior of the ABAP object.
- Technical Specification: provides a technical description of the implementation.
- User Guide: explains how the functionality is used from an end-user perspective.
- UAT Guide: provides testing guidance for User Acceptance Testing activities.
- Clean ABAP Recommendations: contains AI-generated recommendations based on Clean ABAP and Clean Core principles.
Step 2. Filtering options
Press the icon on the right side of each filter to see possible options or type in a value for search. You can also start typing in, and matching options will appear.
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| Document Name | Search by generated document name. |
| Uploaded By | Filter documents by the user or service that generated them. |
| Uploaded On | Filter by document creation date. |
| Changed By | Filter by the last user who modified the document. |
| Changed On | Filter by the date of the last modification. |
| ABAP Object Type | Filter by ABAP object category (for example CLAS or PROG). |
| ABAP Object Name | Search for a specific ABAP object. |
| Document Type | Filter by generated document category. |
| System | Filter documents by connected SAP system. |
Press the Go button or press Enter on keyboard to see the search results:
Click Adapt Filters to choose which filters should be visible.
Tick or Untick Fields to show/hide them.
Use up/down arrows to change order of filters.
Finally, press OK to save changes.
Step 3. Grounded Search Simulation
Grounded Search Simulation allows users to test how AI-powered assistants retrieve and use information from the ABAP Code Intelligence repository. Press the Grounded Search Simulation button and write a search phrase in the search field.
The simulation demonstrates how generated documentation and Clean ABAP recommendations are used as grounding sources for AI responses.
Example Question: What is the purpose of /SKYBFR/CL_BEM_ERROR_UTILS?
Here we have first two results from User Guide and Functional Specification explaining what this ABAP class does.
You can modify number of results and search accuracy ( strictness) by pressing the settings button.
This feature helps evaluate the quality of the generated knowledge base before it is consumed by AI assistants or agents.
Step 4. Manual upload
If you want to manually upload a document from your local storage for vectorization click on Add button. If the document changes later, you’ll need to reupload it to ensure the vectorized content reflects the latest version.
Fill in any required document attributes.
Click Upload to begin the document upload and vectorization process.
Step 5. Edit document
Select document you would like to edit and click Pen icon. You can change Document Name and Documnet Attributes.
Remember to save you entries.
Step 6. Delete Document
Select one or multiple documents and press the Bin button. Confirm deletion when prompted.
