Use

The Repository Browser is a tool you use to display, access and edit development objects. It is part of the Object Navigator and is started by default when you execute transaction SE80.

Features

In the Repository Browser development objects are grouped in object lists, which in their turn are organized into several categories.

Object Lists in the Repository Browser

The object lists in the Repository Browser have a tree-like structure, which serves not only as an overview of the application hierarchy, but also represents the way objects are related to each other.

Categories of Development Objects

Development objects in the Repository Browser are subdivided into the following categories:

Category

Description

Application Hierarchy Tool

A list of all the development objects in the SAP system. This list is arranged hierarchically by application components, component codes, and the packages belonging to them.

Package

List of all objects in a package.

Program

A list of all the subobjects in an ABAP program.

Function Group

List of all screens, function modules and so on and their subordinate objects defined within a function group.

Class/Interface

List of all the components of a global class. It also lists the super classes of the class and all inherited and redefined methods of the current class.

Internet Service

List of all subobjects belonging to an Internet service: service description, themes, language resources, HTML templates, and MIME objects.

For more information, see Structure linkWeb Application Builder for ITS Services.

Web Dynpro Component/Interface

A Web Dynpro component is a reusable entity, including all components an executable Web Dynpro application needs. Each component has an interface to enable communication between Web Dynpro components and also to allow the component to be called up by users.

BSP Application

List of the subobjects of a BSP application. Selecting a BSP application starts the Web Application Builder for BSPs. For more information, see Structure linkWeb Application Builder for BSPs.

BSP Extension

BSP extensions are used in Business Server Pages and reduce the lines of code required in BSP layouts, because the functions provided by the BSP elements are saved in implementation classes. A BSP extension consists of a definition of individual elements.

Local Objects

Objects in this list belong to the user-specific package $TMP and are not transported. Local objects are used mainly for testing purposes. However, you can also assign local objects for transport to another package. For more information, see Change Package.

Inactive Objects

List of all inactive objects belonging to a user. Both local and transportable objects are displayed.

Expansion of Object Lists

Expansion of object lists allows you to browse continually within the tree display without changing the object list.

Example

If you open a package in the Repository Browser, you may expand the object list until you reach the program level. If you expand the program as well, you will have two object lists displayed in one tree. This is of interest in the following situation: if you choose the option Other Functions ® Rebuild Object List from the context menu of the package node, it refers to the package object list only, if you choose it from the program node, it refers to the program object list only.
