Sharing and Opening a Link to a Development Object

You can share a specific development object or a highlighted part of the ABAP source code with other ABAP developers if you wish to communicate a programming improvement or similar.

Prerequisites

You need access permissions for the corresponding ABAP system and at least the read permissions for the linked development object.

Context

ABAP Development Tools (ADT) provides the option of creating hyperlinks to development objects. The receiver can then open the corresponding source code in another Eclipse-based IDE as well as in a Web browser.

The following functions for sharing ABAP source code are available:

Linking to Open Development Objects in Another ADT Installation: You create a hyperlink to open a development object directly in the referenced ABAP project within another ADT installation.
Linking for Displaying ABAP Source Code in a Web Browser: You create a hyperlink to render a development object in a Web browser.
Linking to Selected Parts of ABAP Source Codes: You create a hyperlink to highlight a specific section of ABAP source code. The link can be opened in a Web browser or in the same ABAP system of another ADT installation where the section is marked.
Opening ADT Links: You can open an ADT link, for example, from an email or from an MS Word or Excel file, by clicking it. In addition, you can also enter the URL into a dialog.
