Procedure documentationDefining a Function Library Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You use this procedure to create a function library, allowing multiple users to reuse the functions in it across multiple message mappings.

A function library is a collection of user-defined functions in Netweaver Developer Studio that helps you to choose appropriate functions for a message mapping. If you want to reuse a user-defined function, you create and save that function in the function library. In addition, you can also import archives (.jar files) from your local system and add them into this function library.

For accessing these functions, you need to add this function library to the required message mapping.
