Procedure

       1.      Extract the transport file with the GP content to your file system.

It contains another archive file with the extension .gpa, which holds the definitions of the GP objects.

Extract the GPA file as well.

You can use an archiving program, such as WinZip or WinRAR.

       2.         In the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, choose File  →  New  → Project.

       3.         Choose Development Infrastructure  → Development Component.

Choose Next.

       4.      Select Content  → Guided Procedures for the type of the development component.

Choose Next.

       5.         Select the software component in which you want to place the DC.

Choose Next.

       6.      Enter the required data for the DC name.

Choose Next and Finish.

       7.         Copy the content of the GPA file that you extracted on your file system into the src folder of the new DC project.

To find out where the folder is located in the file system, select it in the Developer Studio and open its context menu, then choose Properties.

       8.         To build the DC, in the Package Explorer view of the Java perspective choose Development Component  → Build from the context menu.

A deployable EAR file is created in the gen folder of the project.

       9.         Browse to the EAR file, select it, and choose Deploy from the context menu. You can also go to the Development Infrastructure perspective and deploy the DC.

Result

The GP objects are deployed to your system and you should be able to find them in the gallery.
