ABAP Development Tools for SAP NetWeaver – Trial Version

Follow RSS feed
2 Likes 10,568 Views 56 Comments

Do you want to testdrive SAP’s new Eclipse-based ABAP IDE, the ABAP Development Tools for SAP NetWeaver?

Simply go to the update site of the SAP Development Tools for Eclipse and follow the installation instructions. This version of ADT requires at least an AS ABAP of SAP NetWeaver 7.31/7.03 SP04 (for details please refer to this blog post). Thus, you either already installed an approriate sytem or you may use the different trial editions of SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP provided virtual appliance. Please ensure to configure the port of the HTTP service correctly (see ICM documentation), otherwise some features of ADT might not work correctly (like calling the ABAP keyword documentation).

For a jump start with ADT after installing it successfully I recommend to read the ADT Quick Launch Guide or watch the ADT video tutorial. There is also an FAQ document available about ADT which might be of interest.

              Hi Markus,

              the error message states org.eclipse.emf.validation is missing, which is the forth point in the list of required features in the installation guide. I recommend to check once more if all requirements are really fulfilled. I faced myself sometimes the situation, that Eclipse didn’t install all features I have selected for installation.

              Regards, Felix

                Thanx Felix,

                after installing als EMF SDKs it works!

                Nearly, now I have the problem that I got no systems shown, although I hat SAP Logon 7.20 Patch 10

                Markus

              • Felix Otto

                Good morning Markus,

                SAP Logon offers 3 ways to configure systems you want to work with.

                1) specify the location of the saplogon.ini file in the SAP Logon settings (default: %APPDATA%\SAP\Common)

                2) specify the location of the saplogon.ini file in the environment variable  SAPLOGON_INI_FILE (default: not set)

                3) get a structured list of systems through a XML-configuration file, which internally points a saplogon.ini (default: not set)

                Option 3 is currently not supported by the ABAP Development Tools 1.0

                How is the location of the saplogon.ini specified on your system?

                Did you  change the default value?

                Regards, Felix

        Hi Christopher,

        would it be safe to run the ADT-Trial against a system used as a regular development system or is there a chance that ADT breaks something on the backend (like the TA/RDIR & friends).

        regards, anton

        • Former Member Post author

          Hi Anton,

          no worries, it’s safe to use the ADT trial against a regular DEV system (prerequisites should be fulfilled).

          Best regards,

          Christopher

              Hi Mahmoud,

              Missing requirement: ABAP Communication Framework 2.0.2 (com.sap.adt.fwk.ci.feature.group 2.0.2) requires ‘org.eclipse.emf.workspace.feature.group [1.5.0,2.0.0)’ but it could not be found

              It seems to me that at least required EMF features have not been installed, yet. All required features and how they can be istalled is mentioned in the installation guide (chapter 3.1).

          Dear Kumud,

          when you have a running NetWeaver 7.03 SP 4 you should be able to use the user BCUSER and the Developer Key which is provided in the documentation.

          Best regards

          Gregor

          • Kumud Singh

            Hi Gregor,

            Thanks for the reply. The issue was that the developer key I was using was incorrect. After putting the right developer key, it worked.

            Regards,

            Kumud

            Hi Wolf,

            I have put the developer key provided in the document into the DEVACCESS table. when I try to create a ABAP class in SABAPDEMOS pacakge. I got the following error message:

            “No license to edit object R3TR CLAS CX_EXCEPTION_DEMO”

            Could you please give me some tips about the error? thanks!

              • Former Member

                Hi Wolf,

                thanks you for your quick reply. Yes, i tried to create a class named Z_TEST in $TMP message. but i got new error message: “No change recording enabled for package $TMP”

              • Michael Schneider

                Hi Jack,

                The message “No change recording enabled for package $TMP” should be a information message (i.e.,you should be able to continue the creation by pressing the button Finish in the wizard).

                The message “No license to edit object R3TR CLAS CX_EXCEPTION_DEMO” appears, because you tried to create a class in SAP namespace and in a package of SAP.

        No trial version for those of us who have already migrated to Linux? 😥

        That’s sad, since  ℹ SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is the best platform for SAP (in someone’s humble opinion).

        How to upgrade Release and component version

        Please help.

        • Former Member Post author

          I’d recommend to download the 7.03 SP04 trial version which is available on the same page (compatible with ADT/AiE) or try the virtual appliances. Upgrading the trial version would be much more effort and requires a real license for accessing the required software packages.

          Best regards,

        Hi,

        it’s always the same issue with sap. SAP is not able to provide a “how to do” paper that answers every question!

        The Link “update site of the SAP Development Tools for Eclipse”  provides an installation dokumentation and the first point is

        -> Get an Eclipse Kepler installation. <-

        And yep it’s not a link! The question is now “Where to get the Eclipse Kepler installation?”

        Ohhh yes SAP I know, the answer is somewhere in the paper and link jungle! I’m only a poor sap admin. I don’t want to read everything in the sap world to get the progress I want.

        Best regards (of a deeply depressed)

        Hello,

        the Transport Organizer in my Eclipse-Installation Show no requests. Only the header is shown.

        What is the reason?

        • I have activated the SCIF toolsdocu
          default host > sap > bc > abap > toolsdocu
          default host > sap > public > bc > abap > toolsdocu
        • I have assigned the roles SAP_BC_DWB_ABAPDEVELOPER and SAP_BC_DWB_WBDISPLAY
        • We run with SAP_BASIS 7.40
        • Eclipse Neon.3 4.6.3
        • ADT 2.77.3

        Any help is appreciated.

        Regards, Markus
