Importing Development Configurations from the
SLD
Use
In this step, the development configurations provide you with a development environment specifically for your software component (SC) in the current development state. For this reason, every development task begins with the selection of the development configuration.
Development configurations are created in the Change Management Service(CMS), stored in the System Landscape Directory (SLD), and imported from there into the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.
Procedure
...
1. To open the Development Configurations perspective, choose Window → Open Perspective → Other... and select from the list of perspectives the entry Development Configurations.
2. To have access to the development configurations in the SLD, set the Development Configuration Pool in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio:
a. In the menu, chose Window → Preferences.
A dialog box appears.
b. Open Java Development Infrastructure → Development Configuration Pool.
c. Under URL, enter the URL of the server on which the SLD is installed: http:<host>:<port>.
d. Choose OK to confirm.
3. To import a development configuration, open the context menu in the Local DCs view and choose Import Configuration...
4. Select the remote option.
A dialog window for logging on to the SAP NetWeaver Java Development Infrastructure appears.
5. Enter USER2 and the corresponding password when prompted.
The Development Configuration Import dialog appears.
In this dialog, you can set the storage location (the root folder) for the files created in this development configuration. To be able to change this setting, you must first remove all development configurations. For more information about how to do that, see Removing Development Configurations.
A list of the development components available in the SLD appears.
6. Open the node APPL/1.0. Import the development configuration APPL_dev
This development configuration also contains the SC TECHNO. The extension _dev stands for the development status of the SC. The APPL_cons development configuration is also created. After the development, you can maintain the consolidation state in this development configuration.
The dialog Development Configuration Import appears.
7. Choose Next.
The Build Variants dialog window appears.
8. Choose Finish.
Result
The system reads the development configuration settings and sets up your development environment. The views Active DCs, Inactive DCs, and Local DCs now contain a new entry with the name of the imported development configuration.
