Manual SAPEX Installation
Local vs Remote Kiuwan Analysis
To analyze ABAP code with Kiuwan Solutions, the source code and information from the SAP system need to be exported before they can be analyzed.
Note: Once the source code is exported, the Kiuwan Solutions lets you implement two different approaches on the location where the ABAP code is analyzed.
- To execute Kiuwan analyses within the SAP server (local), or
- To execute analyses from an external server (remote)
Depending on your approach, the installation takes different steps.
We will use the terms local and remote for specific installation steps, and both for common (mandatory) steps.
SAPEX Installation Files
Note: SAPEX installation files are contained in sapex_abap_code.zip, located in the $(AGENT_HOME)/resources/abap directory of your Kiuwan Local Analyzer installation.
Please visit Kiuwan Local Analyzer for further help on Kiuwan Local Analyzer.

- Note 1: It is recommended to create a package named
ZKW_SAPEXto hold all entities created for SAPEX. - Note 2: You may use ABAP Workbench / ABAP Editor or Eclipse-based ABAP Development Tool to create the SAPEX elements from the provided code.
- Note 3: Remember to activate all ABAP elements installed, to enable the execution.
