Inspect and manage CTS transport requests: list, show, check (does an object need a transport?), users, log (a request's export/import log per target system), queue (a target system's import buffer), create (kind="workbench" default, or "copies" with target), addUser, setOwner, delete, removeObject (drop one E071 entry and its CTS lock). list/show/check/users/log/queue are plain reads, always allowed; create/addUser/setOwner need write access; delete/removeObject additionally need the admin-only transport-delete ceiling. Release is a separate tool, abap_transport_release. Semantics of log/queue/copies/removeObject: doc/TOOLS/transports.md.

Reads a BOPF business object's design-time model: show (default, digest) | raw (v4 XML) | search (needs object_type) | check_refs (up to max_sites, default 25).

Default op writes the root adtcore:description of an existing ENHO/XH, ENHO/XHH or ENHS/XS, optionally activating it. ENHO/XHH plug-in source body: use abap_write, not this tool. See operation for the other ops.

Read an ABAP object: source, pseudo-DDL, a DEVC/K package listing, or (SUSO/B, TABL/DI) a read-only catalog render; view= selects docu/digest/history/diff/definition/lineage/footprint. A CLAS/INTF/PROG/FUGR source above 150 lines or 8k chars answers with its outline by default — then method=, pattern= (regex, with context), offset/limit, or full=true. To learn a method's signature, use method= with include="definitions" (declaration only); method= also finds inherited members (superclasses and interfaces) and reports foundOn. Returns an etag; capped ~15k tokens, truncation marked. Example: {"object":"ZCL_FOO","type":"CLAS/OC"}.

Find objects by name pattern (mode=objects, wildcards *), list consumers (mode=where_used; 20+ seconds on wide fan-in — narrow by type/query first), walk multiple levels of callers or callees (mode=call_graph, direction=callers|callees, depth<=4), or scan source text (mode=source; hits grouped per object, needs the fluid API and a package/objects scope).

Browser-openable URL: ADT source/HTML (object=, type=/line=), keyword doc (keyword=), or Web Dynpro URL (webdynpro=). Exactly one required. Does not open a browser.

Read the IMG customizing catalog: search (query) finds activities; show (activity) returns its path, objects and tables; tree (node/treeId optional) lists a node's children; objects (object, kind optional) returns a customizing object's DDIC tables and fields. search/tree page via after/limit (default 25, ceiling 200) — pass back the exact {"after": ""} a response gives; there is no numeric offset. Fields not valid for the mode are rejected.

mode=check: syntax check, no lock. mode=activate: check then activate. mode=format: pretty-print (source=text, or object=format-and-save).

History and undo for writes abapsmith made. Parameters: mode (list|show|undo|reconcile, default list), entry, object, detail, limit, session, force, activate, outcome, reason. Common calls: mode=list (recent writes with entry ids, each row's undoable column and truncated undo_blocker say up front whether an undo is expected to work); mode=show entry= (one entry with its before-image, and the full undo_blocker reason if any; detail=full for the complete images); mode=undo entry= activate=true (revert it — refuses on drift or a delete-gate; see abapsmith-recover-a-bad-write); mode=reconcile entry= outcome=<succeeded|failed> reason= (close a stranded pending entry — journal bookkeeping only, nothing is sent to SAP).

ABAP debugger driver: arm breakpoints, run a program, step, inspect the stack. One session at a time; frames observe-only. set_value changes a simple variable at a stop (edit/admin mode).

Survey of every variable in scope at a debugger stop; complex values come back as abap_debug_value stubs.

Tier-2 drill-in: render one variable path in detail, with a row window for tables.

Read ABAP runtime errors (ST22 short dumps) from the system's dump repository — not the exception text of a run this server just triggered. mode=list filters the dump feed; mode=show returns one dump, chapter by chapter. The feed reaches back 8 DAYS ONLY: an empty list means "no dumps in the last 8 days matching this filter", never "nothing failed". Copy key from a list row VERBATIM. show returns a summary (exception, short text, error analysis, how to correct, source line, top of the call stack, chapter index); section or chapters returns chapter text — where terminated, source extract, system fields, call stack, and nothing else unless the operator enabled more.

OData contract a RAP SRVB publishes: entity sets, keys, fields, nav, CRUD/search/page perms; V2/V4 detected. Cannot read entity data — contract only. op="publish"/"unpublish" register or deregister the binding in the OData service runtime (admin-mode ceiling, confirm required to arm). Unpublished bindings named as such.

ABAP runtime tracing (SAT): records everything a traced request's dispatch touches — time per call and every database access. op="run" (default) traces one execution of a class/report and reads the result back; op="start" arms a request to trace a later run yourself; op="list" shows existing runs/requests; op="read" reads a run's hit list, DB accesses, or call tree; op="delete" removes a run or request.

Create, change or delete an ABAP object: save/check/activate. LOCKED on this server: ABAP_ALLOW_WRITE does not enable writes, and ABAP_MODE is not set, so that variable is what decides it.
