How to Perform Team-Oriented
Development
Purpose
If you work in a team with centrally organized development using the version control provided with the Design Time Repository (DTR), you actually perform team-oriented development. With this tutorial we represent the development process of a small Java EE application in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio with the DTR as a source code control system.
This tutorial does not describe the steps necessary to implement a central build environment, or how perform the software logistics processes.
By the end of this tutorial you will be able to:
● Set up the Developer Studio to work with the DTR as a version and source control system for each developer in the team.
● Set up the DTR for development and how to work with DTR.
Prerequisites
System, Installed Applications, and Authorizations
● Usage type AS Java is centrally installed. It is an obligatory prerequisite for installing usage type Development Infrastructure (that is, NWDI).
● SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure is centrally installed. It is needed only to provide the DTR. No other parts of the NWDI are used in the team-oriented development.
● SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio is installed on each developer’s machine.
● You have permissions to set up the DTR configuration.
● You have permissions to create users in User Management Engine (UME).
Knowledge
● Basic understanding of the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI) concepts and development scenarios.
● Basic knowledge in application development.
● Knowledge of the DTR security roles and permissions.
● Basic knowledge in working with UME.
Process Flow
In this tutorial you take the following steps:
...
1. Preparing the System – prepare the system for team-oriented development.
2. Creating New Projects – a developer creates a new project.
3. Enhancing the Projects – another developer enhances the project that the first developer created.
4. Starting the Application – the project is complete and ready to be exported to any customer.
