Procedure documentationMigrating from Local Development to NWDI Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You have started a component based development project in SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio and would like to move into NWDI now to reap the benefits of version control, central builds and central configuration services.

Prerequisites

You have installed and configured NWDI and CM Services.

If you would like to use enhanced CTS for transports, the enhanced CTS has to be configured and non-ABAP systems and transport routes have to be created.

Procedure

To move from local development into NWDI you have to perform the following steps:

  1. Add local SC definition to System Landscape Directory (SLD). Note that the dependency information is not transferred.

    Alternatively you can create the SC together with the dependency definitions with the Configuration Wizard. In this case the next two steps can be skipped.

  2. Add dependencies in SLD.

  3. Add SC(s) to your development configuration in CM Services Configuration Services. See Using Configuration Services.

  4. Download central development configuration into Developer Studio.

  5. Copy and paste local development to central development configuration.

  6. Create activity and check-in source files into DTR.

  7. Continue development.

Start Team Development with NWDI

  1. Download development configuration and start developing.

  2. After development check-in sources.

  3. Activate centrally (Central Build Environment (CBS) takes care of a continuously buildable software).

  4. Release for transport (only if used with enhanced CTS).
