/UI5/APP_INDEX_CALCULATE : Calculation of SAPUI5 Application Index

You use the report /UI5/APP_INDEX_CALCULATE to calculate the SAPUI5 application index. The report has to be executed in every system whenever the content of the SAPUI5 ABAP repository has changed.

The application index contains cache busting information on the level of single and multiple application resources. It also contains certain properties or attributes (for example, component ID, used library, or dependencies) stored in the descriptor for apps, components, and libraries.

You can also use this report to directly display index-related application logs which are persisted in the main client of the system (application log object /UI5/APPIDX; logs are created for the sub-objects GENERAL, UI5COMP, and UI5REP).

Features

Complete Index

Calculation for those repositories and the distribution layer for which either the expiration period you specified (in hours and minutes) has expired or where a transport changed the content of the repositories and distribution layer since the last update. Further optimizations reduce the system load to a minimum. This is the default mode with an expiration period of 24 hours. It’s also active when you use the provided variant SAP&DELTA. SAP recommend this mode for scheduling the report for periodic execution.
Full calculation of all SAPUI5 repositories and the distribution layer regardless of any expiration dates. No optimizations are used, so that a full update is ensured – at the cost of higher system load. This mode is active when you use the provided variant SAP&ALL. SAP recommend to use this mode only for special cases (and not for scheduling the report for periodic execution), for example after implementing an SAP Note or after manual changes requiring a full update of all SAPUI5 repositories. If only a single repository is affected, SAP recommend to use the Single SAPUI5 Repository Only mode.
