Working with ABAP Projects

Creating ABAP Projects by Defining a Manual Server Connection*

It is now possible for you to manually define the connection of your Eclipse-based IDE to an ABAP system. This will enable you to adopt certain properties like the connection type, message server, instance number, and so on. For this, no existing connection from the SAP Logon Pad is required.

You can create an individual configuration in the following use cases:

  • You have installed ABAP Development Tools on a Mac OS X operating system.
  • You want to work in a user-specified system.
  • You want to connect manually because you do not have configuration files that contain value helps. Otherwise, access through the SAP Logon Pad would be more laborious.
