Linking to Open Development Objects in Another ADT InstallationLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

You can initiate the creation of an ADT link that, as a hyperlink, references a specific development object. The receiver can then open the referenced development object directly in ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in the corresponding ABAP project.

Example

The following example displays an ADT link of a specific ABAP class:

adt://[ABAP system name]/sap/bc/adt/oo/classes/cl_demo_test_save
Note

ADT links are available for all development objects except trace files, profiler settings, debugger variables, and so on.

Procedure

  1. In the Project Explorer, select the development object.
  2. In the context menu, select the Share Link... entry.
  3. In the Share Link dialog, select ADT Link.

    You then have the following two options on how to proceed:

    1. Choose the Email link button to generate an email from your default email client.

      An email is then opened that contains a generated header and the hyperlink.

    2. Choose the Copy link to clipboard button to paste the ADT link from the clipboard into any document.

      The ADT link path is then saved in temporary storage. If you paste the path into your document or editor, it will be added as text.
