Transport a Software Component Between Test and Development Systems

Login as administrator and open Manage Software Components application on your development systems Fiori Launchpad.

Press GO button to see the list of all already available software components.

Click Create to create a new software component.

Enter a Software Component Name and a Description and press Save.

You can use your own namespace.

Select your created software component and press Import. Click OK on Import popup.

As software component creation creates a repository for it in a distributed version-control system only and not in the development instance, you have to import that before starting real development.

Check the popup.

With selecting Import History you can view the current status of the import.

Open Eclipse and connect with your developer user to your development ABAP system. Right-click on Favorite Packages and select Add Package.

Enter Z_MY_APP_XXX, select it and click OK.

Check your result.

Right-click on ZLOCAL > New > ABAP Package.

Create package:

• Name: Z_PACKAGE_SC_XXX
• Description: Package XXX

Click Next.

Hint: Your software component root package is a structure package, hence it’s not allowed to create objects directly in this package. You need to add an additional development package and then you’re able to add your objects.

Click Next.

Select Create a new request:

• Request Description: TRXXX

Click Finish.

Right-click on your package Z_PACKAGE_SC_XXX and select New > ABAP Class.

Create class in Package Z_PACKAGE_SC_XXX:

• Name: Z_CLASS_SC_XXX
• Description: Class XXX

Click Next.

Select your transport request TRXXX
Click Finish.

Release your transport request and its subtasks. Therefore, open view Transport Organizer.

Release all your subtasks by right click on it and select Release.

Afterwards release your transport request by right click on it and also select Release.
