Creating Development ObjectsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

  • The subsequent steps require that an APAP project exists for the relevant back-end system.
  • You have identified the package in which the development object is going to be created.
    Tip If you have not yet already done so, add this package to the favorites of your ABAP project. See also: Adding or Removing a Favorite Package

Context

Using the ABAP project as a starting point, you can create any arbitrary development object for the ABAP Repository. However, the procedure is somewhat different, depending on the object type to be created.

While the creation procedure for some source code-based object types (classes, interfaces, programs) is completed fully when you use Eclipse-based wizards, other development objects - such as DDIC elements or ABAP packages – are created using the SAP GUI.

Procedure

  1. Select the relevant package node in the Project Explorer.
  2. Open the context menu and choose Start of the navigation path New Next navigation step [Object Type or Category] End of the navigation path to launch the creation wizard or start the corresponding GUI tool, respectively.
  3. Specify the basic properties of the development object to be created.
  4. Assign a transport request. NOTE: Not required for $ packages and for LOCAL packages, for which the changes are NOT going to be recorded in the Transport Organizer.
