Creating a Mobile Development ComponentLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

You have imported a DC configuration file into the development environment.

Context

To work on development tasks across development environments, you have to create a Mobile Development Component (DC) project. Several development components make up a DC project. Each DC can have dependencies on other DCs. Different developers distribute the development tasks and the many development components are managed through the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure.

More information: Development Components .

Note

In versions prior to EhP1, you could create projects that are not of type DCs. From EhP1, however, you can create only DC projects. If you have created non-DC projects using an older version of the IDE and imported them to an EhP1 version of the IDE, these DCs become deprecated. They appear grayed in the IDE.
