Procedure documentation Importing a Development Configuration  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

This is the first step of a development task. You configure the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio in such a way that you have access only to the resources required by your team. Development configurations provide you with a development environment specifically for your software component (SC) in the current development state. For this reason, each development tasks begins with selecting 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 Developer Studio.

Prerequisites

You work in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Development Configurations perspective.

Procedure

Importing Development Configurations from the SLD

...

       1.      To obtain access to the development configurations in the SLD, set the Development Configuration Pool in the Developer Studio:

...

                            a.      From the menu path, choose Window  Preferences.

                            b.      Open Java Development Infrastructure Development Configuration Pool.

                            c.      Specify the URL of the server on which the SLD is installed in URL in the following format http:<host>:<port>. Choose OK.

       2.      To import a development configuration, open the context menu in the Local DCs view and choose Import Configuration... 

       3.      Select the remote option.

A dialog for logging on to the development infrastructureappears.

       4.      Enter USER1and the corresponding password.

The Development Configuration Importdialog appears.

Note

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.

A list of the development components available in the SLD appears.

       5.      Open the node TECHNO/1.0 and import the development configuration TECHNO_dev

Note

The extension _dev stands for the development status of the SC. The APPL_cons development configuration is also created. After development, you can maintain the consolidation state in this development configuration.

The Development Configuration Import dialog appears.

       6.      Choose Next.

The Build Variants dialog window appears.

       7.      Choose Finish.

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.

Result

...

...

       1.      In the Development Configuration perspective, switch to the Inactive DCs view.

       2.      Open the folder TECHNO_dev.

You can see only the software components which you will develop.

Note

DCs can be created only in the Inactive workspace and are activated in the CBS only by a successful build. This makes them available automatically in the Active workspace, where they can be used for the build of other DCs.

       3.      Switch to the Active DCs view.

       4.      Open the folder TECHNO_dev.

Note

Next to the software components you want to develop, you see three entries:

       sap.com_SAP_BUILDT

       sap.com_SAP_JTECHS

       sap.com_SAP-JEE

These SCs are provided and can be used but cannot be changed.
