Additional Functions 

Use

The MIME Repository provides a number of additional functions for editing MIME objects.

Features

Moving Subdirectories and MIME Objects

In the MIME Repository, choose one or several subdirectories or MIME objects and move them to another directory using Drag and Drop. If the subdirectories contain MIME objects, these objects are also moved.

This function is useful if you want to move MIME objects from an application-specific directory to the public directory.

Previewing MIME Objects

●     To preview an object in the MIME Repository, double-click it. Depending on the MIME category, the object is either displayed directly at the bottom of the browser, or the system prompts you to choose a suitable editor.

Choose  with the quick info text Preview to open or close the preview area.

●     To process a MIME object in an external editor, double-click the object in the object list. All changes you have made in the external application are adopted in the SAP system.

Displaying All Versions of MIME Objects

To display all MIME objects that have more than one language version, choose  with the quick info text Display All Versions. All MIME objects for which there is more than one language version are displayed as a subtree.

This scenario is possible only if additional language versions for those MIME objects have been created in the translation system and these versions have been transported to the development system.

Changing the Package Assignment of MIME Objects

In the MIME Repository, choose the object you want to edit and in the context menu, choose Change Package Assignment.

This function is helpful if you save MIME objects initially as local objects ($TMP) and then want to assign them to a package for transport.

Assigning a Transport Request to MIME Objects

In the MIME Repository, select the required directory, subdirectory, or individual MIME object and in the context menu, choose Write Transport Request.

To transport an application directory with all its subdirectories and all the MIME objects in it, select all the nodes of the application directory and all the objects in these nodes and assign them to a transport request.
