Deriving an ABAP Repository Tree from an ABAP Repository FolderLocate this document in the navigation structure

In addition to duplicating ABAP repository trees, you can also create an ABAP repository tree based on an existing configuration from an ABAP repository folder. This enables you to create a new tree based on a subtree.

Prerequisites

ABAP repository trees and folders are supported since SAP NetWeaver AS for ABAP 7.51 innovation package SP00. In addition, your ABAP system needs to be connected with a SAP HANA database.

Procedure

  1. In the Project Explorer, select the ABAP repository folder from which you want to derive the configuration and choose Derive New Tree... from the context menu.

    The Derive Tree Configuration wizard is opened and displays the existing object selection and tree structure.

  2. Adapt the tree configuration according your development needs.

    For more information how to adopt the selection, see the Related Information below.

  3. To trigger deriving, choose Finish.

Results

The new tree is created and added to the Project Explorer.

If you do not change the name in the configuration wizard, the same name as from the derived folder is used.

The Link with Editor functionality is enabled by default.

You can now, for example, collapse the tree to navigate to the relevant development object.
