7-Minute SAP GOS Integrity Scan

Diagnostic Reference Implementation - Not a Product

Maintained by PythonMate Enterprise SAP Content Integrity Diagnostics https://pythonmate.com

License: MIT Python 3.8+

Purpose & Positioning

This repository is a diagnostic reference implementation demonstrating Python-to-SAP connectivity for GOS (Generic Object Services) integrity analysis. This tool:

  • Reveals integrity decay in SAP GOS tables (SOFFCONT1, SRGBTBREL, SOFFPHIO)
  • Does NOT fix any identified issues
  • Does NOT provide remediation or cleanup capabilities
  • Requires enterprise engagement for actual remediation activities
  • Operates in read-only mode only with zero-ABAP approach

This tool surfaces risks and technical debt but does not resolve them. Actual remediation requires a separate, private PythonMate engagement.


Target Audience

  • SAP Basis Administrators
  • S/4HANA Migration Architects
  • SAP Security & Audit Teams
  • Enterprise Architecture Groups

Core Capabilities (Diagnostic-Only)

  • Read-Only Access: Uses RFC_READ_TABLE and metadata functions only
  • 7-Minute Execution Window: Designed for evaluation, not comprehensive analysis
  • Risk Identification: Detects orphaned SOFFCONT1 entries without remediation
  • Enterprise Safety: Zero write operations, zero binary access, zero transport impact

What This Tool CANNOT Do:

  • Perform cleanup operations
  • Execute remediation logic
  • Access binary data (CLUSTD column)
  • Create transports
  • Modify SAP tables
  • Provide self-service fixes

The diagnostic validates attachment integrity by cross-checking GOS relationship entries (SRGBTBREL) against physical document metadata (SOFFPHIO) to identify orphaned or unreachable content without accessing binary payloads.


Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+
  • SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK
  • Valid SAP credentials with S_TABU_NAM authorization (table name access only)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/pythonmate/7-minute-integrity-scan.git
cd 7-minute-integrity-scan
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run Diagnostic Scan

python src/cli/main.py scan --system PRD --client 100 --host sapserver.company.com --sysnr 00 --user RFC_USER --password 'password'

Output: reports/GOS_Integrity_Audit_PRD_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.pdf

Validate Connection Only

python src/cli/main.py validate-connection --host sapserver.company.com --sysnr 00 --client 100 --user RFC_USER --password 'password'

Security Model

This tool implements strict read-only operations:

  • Zero Data Modification: No write, update, or delete operations
  • No Binary Access: Never accesses CLUSTD (binary data) column
  • Metadata Only: Analyzes relationships, not content
  • Audit Safe: Designed to pass enterprise security reviews

See SECURITY_MODEL.md for detailed security assurance.


When NOT to run this diagnostic

  • On productive systems without Basis approval
  • As a substitute for migration test cycles
  • For cleanup or deletion decisions
  • For ArchiveLink design

Enterprise Considerations

This diagnostic tool reveals opportunities but does not address them. Remediation activities (cleanup, optimization, migration) require a separate enterprise engagement with PythonMate due to:

  • Complexity of safe GOS object deletion
  • Risk of breaking business workflows
  • Need for comprehensive testing environments
  • Compliance and audit requirements

Getting Started

For SAP Basis Teams

This diagnostic is designed for pre-production environments to identify content integrity risks before they impact production systems.

For S/4HANA Migration Architects

Use this tool to quantify GOS attachment bloat and plan cleanup strategies during your migration timeline.

For Security & Audit Teams

Validate that GOS relationships are consistent and identify orphaned content that may pose compliance risks.
