You may install it to your system using abapGit.
If you are using a ticketing system, it is recommended (but not required) to install and implement TickSys to help with your ticket system management with ABAP.
ADDICT needs zero configuration. It will run with its default configuration out of the box. So everything below is optional.
Each system has its own rules. If you need to change the behavior of ADDICT according to the rules of your own system, you have two options.
Rules, which can be represented with a single value, are stored in the table YTADDICT_SYDEF (SM30). You can add a new entry to the table YTADDICT_SYDEF (SM30) with the following values:
| Field | Description | Default value |
| SYSID | ID of your system, found in SY-SYSID | |
| MAX_WAIT | Max wait time before timeout (in seconds) | 30 |
| AUTO_REQUEST_PREFIX | The default text prefix of an automatically created request | Auto |
| RULE_CLASS | Your rule class implementing complex behavior - see below for details | YCL_ADDICT_DEF_SYSTEM_RULES |
Default values are coded into YV_ADDICT_SYSTEM_DEFINITIONS.
However, some rules correspond to complex behavior, which need to be coded as ABAP methods.
For such rules, ADDICT provides an interface: YIF_ADDICT_SYSTEM_RULES . You can create your own Z-Class, implement this interface and fill its following methods:
- GET_REQUESTS_OF_TICKETS : This method gets a list of support ticket ID's, and should return a list of transport requests which were created for those tickets. If you don't use a ticket system, you can ignore this method.
- GET_TICKET_KEY_OF_REQUEST : Returns the ticket ID to which the request corresponds.
- GET_REQUEST_RELATED_TICKETS: Returns tickets which may have related transport requests.
- IS_REQUEST_TOC_SAFE : Tells if the given request can safely be put into a ToC or not.
If you implement your own YIF_ADDICT_SYSTEM_RULES class, you need to register it into the table YTADDICT_SYDEF. Otherwise; ADDICT will use the default rule class.
ADDICT needs to know which ABAP objects are developed by you. By default, ADDICT will assume that Y- and Z- objects are developed by yourself. However, if you have custom namespaces or something, you should register those (along Y* Z*) into the table YTADDICT_NSOBJ .
