Scenario 1 – Creating Projects  

Use

In scenario 1, you develop your applications in projects in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. You can create these projects at a local level.

Prerequisites

You have set up a workspace structure with DEV and CONS workspaces in the Design Time Repository (DTR).

New Project

Select the DEV workspace in which you want to create your development project, and create a file folder for your project. Give this folder the name of the development project. To do this, select the workspace and open the context menu by clicking the right mouse button. Choose Create Folder.

Once the project folder has been created, developers can create projects in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, as described in the Development Manual.

Since no files can be located directly under the workspace, you must make sure that a file folder is created for the project properties under the workspace when you use the Share Projects function in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. As long as you use the proposed standard workspace, the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio will create this project folder automatically.

Using an Existing Project from the DTR

Instead of creating a new project, the developer also has the option of downloading an existing project from the DTR.

To do this, synchronize the local PC with the project folder in the DTR and choose Create Project in the DTR perspective.

Checking Resources into the Repository

Once the developers have created or changed projects in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, you can check the resources into the DTR.

Use the Share Project function in the context menu of the Package Explorer to register your project in the DTR. The DTR offers you an activity that you can use to check in your resources. (For more information about activities, see Modifying a Versioned Resource and Activity Views.)

Before other developers, or the administrator responsible for consolidation, can import the project, you must check in the following files:

·        .project

·        .classpath

Do not check in compiled software and archives, since these objects represent products in the local development environment. The centralized build and deployment of the project must be tested in the consolidation phase.
