• Key Concepts: 
  Hierarchy edge is a component of the BC-ABA ABAP Runtime Environment. It is a graphical representation of the hierarchical relationships between objects in an ABAP program. It is used to visualize the structure of an ABAP program and to identify potential problems in the program's logic. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Hierarchy edge can be used to analyze the structure of an ABAP program. It can be used to identify potential problems in the program's logic, such as loops or redundant code. It can also be used to identify areas of the program that could be optimized for better performance. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using hierarchy edge, it is important to remember that it only shows the structure of the program, not its actual logic. Therefore, it is important to also analyze the code itself in order to identify any potential problems or areas for optimization.
