Prerequisites

You have already created one or more IMG structures.

Change IMG structure name

Select a structure in your Favorites.

Put IMG structure in another IMG structure

The SAP Reference IMG comprises references to application area IMG structures. The IMG structure of an application area can be put in the SAP Reference IMG when it is complete.

To refer to other existing IMG structures from an IMG structure:

Select an IMG structure in your favorites and choose IMG Structure Change.
Position the cursor on the node in the displayed structure under which you want to put another IMG structure.
Choose Edit Note Insert IMG Structure At the same level or One level lower.
Enter a name for the structure which you want to include, in the Link to a structure dialog box.

The structure is inserted as a new node with this name. The name need not be the actual name of the structure.
You can search for the structure to be inserted with Find Structure.
Enter the title of the structure in the following window. You can enter part of the title and choose Execute.

The title of the structure found is displayed in a second window.
Choose Copy. The title is shown in the Link to a Structure window.
Choose Copy and save the structure change with Implementation Guide Save.

The linked IMG structure is only displayed as a structure node. The structure is only displayed with all its nodes in display mode.

Copy IMG structure

Select a structure in your Favorites.
Choose IMG Structure Copy.
Enter the title of the new structure and choose Continue under Explanatory Text in the dialog box.
Assign a development class to the transport in the object catalog entry and save your entries.

The structure is copied and displayed with the new name under IMG Structure.
Put the copied structure in your Favorites with the Add to Favorites pushbutton to the right of the structure title.

Note

If you logon to the system in another language than the original language of the IMG structure, you are asked whether you want to copy the IMG structure in German or English. The system checks whether the texts exist in the selected language. If they are incomplete, the copy is cancelled.

Delete IMG structure

Select the IMG structure which you want to delete, in your Favorites.
Choose IMG Structure Delete.

You can cancel the deletion up to this point.
To delete, confirm the prompt with Yes.

The entire IMG structure with all nodes is deleted.

Note

The IMG structure is deleted, not the individual objects, which may also be in other IMG structures.
