Importing the Development
Configuration
Use
For each development phase, development configurations are defined that define your access to the central systems of the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI). The import of a development configuration configures your Developer Studio in such a way that you have access (only) to the required source files and archives.
Prerequisites
You have started the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.
Procedure
Development configurations provide you with a development environment specifically for your software component in the current development state. For this reason, each 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.
...
1. To open the Development Configurations perspective, choose Window → Open Perspective → Other... and from the list of perspectives select 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, choose 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 Development Infrastructure appears.
5. Enter USER1and the corresponding password.
The development configuration import dialog appears.
In this window, 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. More information: Removing Development Configurations.
A list of the development components available in the SLD appears.
6. Open the node APPL/1.0. Select the required development configuration APPL_dev and confirm.
There is one development configuration for the development (dev) and one for the consolidation (cons) of an SC.
The window Development Configuration Import appears.
7. Choose Next.
The Build Variants dialog window appears.
8. 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 perspective Development Configurations, switch to the Inactive DCs view.
2. Open the APPL_dev folder.
You can see only the software component which you will develop.
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 Application folder.
Next to the software component (SC) example.org_application, which 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 not changed.
