Background documentation General Directory Structure of the SAP DB Development Environment Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

The SAP DB development environment uses a fixed directory structure.

The top node (SAPDB_DEV) corresponds to the environment variable $OWN.

The system creates the following directory structure when you call VMAKE for the first time.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

The top SAPDB_DEV node is divided into 3 areas:

Development Area

The development area is divided into the subdirectories desc, src, and wrk.

The development area is not always necessary. Using the development hierarchy, the system accesses the sources from the next hierarchy level when the software is created.

 

 

 

 

Temporary Area

This is a temporary area that allows the iview.pl tool to use the development environment. When the tool is called, the specified module and/or description files are copied to the tmp file. These files, however, cannot be modified in this directory.

Directory for Created Software Components

The usr directory for the created software components is the future DBROOT directory of the SAPDB software. All of the components that are required to operate the database are copied here.
