Context

Here is how to subscribe to various types of feeds from ABAP repository.

Note When you create an ABAP project, several feeds are set up for you automatically. These include a system message feed and feeds for runtime errors generated under your user or in objects for which you are responsible.

Procedure

  1. Open the Feed Reader view. (Type Ctrl 3 to display available views, and select the Feed Reader, if it is not already visible.)
  2. Choose Add feed from repository...

    The New Feed Query view opens your ABAP Projects from the Project Explorer to show the repositories.

  3. Choose an ABAP Project to display and choose from the available feeds.

    You can see (and change, if you want to) the default refresh interval – the frequency with which the ABAP Developer Tools check for new feed items.

    Mark the Display notification messages check box to have a pop-up dialog notify you when there is new content for a feed. Notifications offer a nice feature: The dialog tells you how old the feed event is. That's useful, for example, for screening out old system messages if you open an ABAP project that you haven't used for a while.

    You can Selecting ABAP Runtime Errors for a Feed for an error feed.

    The new feed is added to the Feed Reader view.

  4. Select a feed to see the ABAP project from which the feed comes, the refresh interval, and other information.
  5. Select a feed item to display the item in the right-hand pane of the Feed Reader view.
  6. Double-click on an item to display the complete item (not available for all feeds).
    Note If you haven't chosen Display notification messages, then monitor the # Unread column in the Feed Reader view to see when new feed items have arrived.
