Background documentation Development Hierarchy Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

VMAKE provides access to module and description files across several levels. Several development states can be logically superimposed on one another in different directories (also from other computers). This provides an overview of a complete software version.

Each hierarchy level does not have to contain all the module and description files. For the translation process, the module and description files are usually taken from the top level in the hierarchy. This hierarchy sequence is defined through the environment variable VMAKE_PATH.

A two-level hierarchy is implemented with the standard installation of the SAPDB development environment. This ensures that the original module and description files are always retained.

Example of a two-level hierarchy

Directory 1
(
C:\SAPDB\SAPDB_ORG )

Contains the original SAP DB sources;
these are located in the subdirectories
sys/desc and sys/src (General Directory Structure)

Directory 2
(
C:\SAPDB\SAPDB_DEV)

Directory for creating and developing SAPDB software
