Hi,

Welcome to the community!

First, your version is past EOL. You should upgrade to either the latest version or the current LTS at your earliest convenience. Your upgrade path is:

xxx → 7.9.6 → 8.9.2 → 9.1 (last step optional)

You may find the Upgrade Guide and the LTS-to-LTS Upgrade Notes helpful. If you have questions about upgrading, feel free to open a new thread for that here.

Regarding your actual question, custom rules aren’t supported for ABAP. As indicated in the docs, you’ll need to write and execute these rules outside of SonarQube and output your results into the Generic Issue Reports format.
