Local, Remote and Browse Paths

Use

Almost every command expects that its arguments or some of its option values are given as paths.

There are three ways of specifying a path:

  • Local path

    The tool uses the local file system to store files and folders downloaded from the Design Time Repository (DTR) server. The path where a file or folder from the server is stored in the local file system, is the local path.

  • Remote path

    Each file and folder on the server is exposed through a HTTP URL. The part of the URL after the host name, and possibly the port number, is called the remote path.

  • Browse path

    The browse path of a resource is the path shown in the Repository Browser view in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.
