SAP component hierarchy (search incident component F4)

The SAP support web site http://service.sap.com/incident allows to search for incidents (OSS message created by current SAP customer).

There is a selection screen field named component. By trying to select a component, a popup appears showing all possible values (SAP component hierarchy) :

I try to find a way to download the all SAP component hierarchy. By searching on the internet “sap incident component list”, i found a solution SAP OSS Note 36677 – Structure of components for customer messages.

==> An OSS note 36677 allows to download the SAP component hierarchy (file name is Component_structure.txt ; it has been zipped ; 24000 lines ; >1 MB). Here you can find screen shot of this file :

Then I tried to upload this SAP component hierarchy file into a SAP system. I created a report that is uploading the txt file and displaying it using SALV tree or grid. File is having 24000 entries. ==> the tree construction takes a long time.

Tree display looks like :

t

Grid display looks like :

The Report that is uploading the flat file and displaying data is attached.

      But what is the use of this?

      I think the component hierarchy on support desk is universal.

      Some of these components may not be installed on your system.

      You are right. It was just for the fun of it.

      Hi all

      Since Note 36677 - Structure of components for customer messages was removed, but I wanted to know the structure of components in my system for estimation purposes and add them to Solution manager Focused Build - just by searching different reports in S4HANA 2021 I have found accidently the following report to be run in SE38

      TERM_DOWNLOAD_COMPONENTS

      I wonder what is the need for the following report - any ideas?

      TERM_MAINTAIN_COMPONENTS

      Kind regards,

      Adi
