Browsing Enterprise Services from the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 

Use

The following optional feature requires that Enterprise Services Repository for SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment is installed in your system landscape.

You can browse the content of the Enterprise Service Repository (ESR) by using the Enterprise Service browser integrated in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.

The Enterprise Service browser provides a view of the ESR content structured by software component version. For each software component version, the Enterprise Service browser lists one or more than one software component namespaces. For each software component namespace, the Enterprise Service browser lists the following information:

●      Data Types

More information: Enterprise Services Repository for SAP NetWeaver CE → Developer's Guide → Enterprise Services Repository → Defining Design Objects for Specifying Applications → Defining the Service Structure with Interface Objects → Developing Data Types.

●      Folders

●      Service Interfaces
