Design Time Repository Perspective 

There are some basic views that are available in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio’s Design Time Repository perspective. You can configure this perspective to display the following views:

●      Repository Browser: Displays the contents of the repository.

●      Closed Activities: Displays the list of closed activities categorized per workspace.

●      Open Activities: Displays the list of all the open activities categorized per workspace.

●      Version Graph: Displays the version graph that has been requested for a resource.

●      Command Output: Displays the command output of the operations performed by the user. It also displays the errors/failures encountered during the operations.

●      Integration Conflicts: Displays the conflicts encountered during an integrate operation. The conflicts are categorized per workspace.

●      Properties: Displays the properties of the selected object.

The main window, the Perspective, contains different sub-windows, the views. All parts of the main windows are views of the DTR client:

○       The Repository Browser view shows workspace folders (dev), workspaces (active and inactive), folders and files (resources).

○       The Open Activities view shows an activity used to change a table.

○       The DTR Console view shows the actions in the DTR server.

○       Under the DTR Console view, you can see part of another view Integration Conficts.

In the DTR perspective, you can select, arrange and resize all views according to your needs. The views can be piled up like tabstrips.

To change a view to full screen display or to reduce it again to normal size, double-click the view’s title bar.

Frequently used functions of the perspective or its views are:

●      Refresh: Updates the display of the elements in the view. You can use this function with the same effect in different views.

●      Favorites: Allows you to go to your favorites or delete them. To add nodes to the favorites, use their context menus.

●      DTR Server: Here, you can select development configurations to which you want to connect (except in Java development with DTR as central storage for the source files). During the start, you are always connected to the last selected server.
