Enabling ABAP in Eclipse
Since the announcement of availability of ABAP Eclipse to enable developers to use Eclipse environment for development, i was quite excited to install and have a look at this new tool. But installing and making it to function took me through lot of hurdles, though the SAP documentation provides the details but its not in detail and the steps are not that clear.
I am pretty sure others in the community will have the same kind of difficulties unless they have used eclipse earlier and so on.. This blog helps ABAP developers to get through the installation part.
Requirements:
Operating System Windows XP, Vista, 7 (32- or 64-Bit)
Java Runtime JRE 1.6, 32-Bit
MS VC Runtime 10, 32-Bit
SAP GUI for Windows 7.20 Patch Level 9 or higher
Browser Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher / Firefox 4.0 or higher
Eclipse Platform Eclipse 3.6 or 3.7
1) Download Eclipse software from the below website (Supported versions 3.6.0 to 4.0.0 ) Versions above 4.0 are not supported with ABAP editor, make sure the right version is downloaded.
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/eclipse3x.html
2) Downloaded file is a zip file, and unzip the file in the location you want to and the Eclipse is ready to be executed using .exe file.
3) JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is mandatory to run the eclipse and thus make sure the JRE with version above 1.6, 32 bit (Latest version also does)
4) Download the other enhancements required to support ABAP editor installation from the links mentioned below

Or http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index_project.php – Select Mylyn Tasks and proceed to download |
|
ABAP eclipse files |
SAP service market place (downloadable files are Under independent of OS option) |
5) Downloaded files are zip files unzip themto make them ready for importing into Eclipse
6) Open the Eclipse (use Eclipse.exe file in the downloaded software from step 1)
7) Go to Help->Install New Software
8) Click on the Add button and then click on the Local button from the pop up window. Browse the folder where the enhancement features downloaded are unzipped and choose the “Eclipse Modelling Framework Code runtime” folder for installing.
9) Ensure that “Group item by Category” is unchecked and choose the right component from the list and install on the next button.
The following popup will be shown, click on Next, if you don’t have the right version, right selection of the feature then you will end up in errors.
Read through and accept the license agreement.
Ensure that the Eclipse is restarted after every installation else you will not be able to install the further enhancements.
10) Repeat the steps for the other enhancement installations and make sure that right component is chosen to be installed as shown below and in the same order and restarting is mandatory after each installation.
11) Maintain the SAP logon pad with the system you are trying to connect (Development system). And ensure the SNC is activated and No Single sign on is checked if u r not using SSO.
12) Ensure your user has the following roles assigned.
SAP_BC_DWB_ABAPDEVELOPER ABAP developer
SAP_BC_DWB_WBDISPLAY Display authorization for ABAP
13) Ensure that services are activated in transaction SICF.
Procedure
1. Call the transaction SICF in the relevant back-end system.
2. As a filter, select DEFAULT_HOST for Virtual Host entry. Then press F8 or use the
corresponding toolbar icon to display the services tree.
3. Expand the node default_host > sap > bc > abap.
The subtree displays the service items docu and ToolsDocu.
4. Select the service docu and choose Activate Service from the context menu.
5. Repeat the last step for the service ToolsDocu.
6. In addition, expand the link node in the public subtree default_host > sap > public > bc > abap.
7. Select the link node docu and choose Activate Link from the context menu.
8. Repeat the last step for the link item ToolsDocu.
14) Now you should be ready for connecting to SAP. Go to the menu, File->New->Create Project, in the popup window select the ABAP Project under ABAP folder and click on next
15) Browse and choose the right system using Browse button and the click on Next.
16) Mention the client, user, pwd and then click on next/finish.
17) Congratulations,you are now ready to work with Eclipse to build ABAP objects.
Hope this helps all of us to get started with new ABAP Development Tool.
Thanks for the nice detailed post.
Please could you throw some light on the benifits of using this editor.
Thanks for the nice post. Can you also throw some light on the following:
- Do we have this feature in Netweaver Developer Studio and from which version
- What is the transport procedure if we develop ABAP programs through Eclipse based IDE
- Does SAP recommend to use this IDE for ABAP development.
Regards
Sundeep
Sundeep,
Please find my comments in line with your questions.
- Do we have this feature in Netweaver Developer Studio and from which version
- As per my understanding ABAP Eclipse is independent of NWDS at the moment. ABAP Eclipse is on the higher version of eclipse tool where as NWDS is still based on the older version.
- What is the transport procedure if we develop ABAP programs through Eclipse based IDE
- This is same as the normal transportation methodology. No change in the transportation process.
- Does SAP recommend to use this IDE for ABAP development.
- Yes, SAP's roadmap is to have the eclipse as the ABAP development tool and not the SAP GUI. Also, going forward you may not be able to develop some objects using SE80. This shows that we will be forced to use Eclipse environment for development.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Thanks for the response.
Can we develop Web Dynpro ABAP applications using this tool?
Also can you please provide the link where SAP has the future road map of this tool.
Thanks
Sundeep
Yes, Sundeep. We can make the webdynpro working on miniSAP 😛
Yes, you can. I don't have the roadmap, but this is what you can expect to happen, for example, HANA development is eclipse based and not the SAP GUI Based. And similarly newer versions of ECC is going to reside on HANA and so you can expect to see that it becomes mandate to use Eclipse for the ABAP Development. Days have changed alot for ABAP developers in recent years.
Cheers,
This blog describes in detail the step by step, but are we missing the step that maintain the SSO ticket in profile?
Hi,
Yes, you are right we are missing the step that maintain the SSO ticket, i will update the blog to include to SSO ticket. Thank you.
Cheers,
Prasanna
I'm in the middle of installing the NW7.03 SP4 trial so as to investigate ABAP in Eclipse; However, your experience raises some questions that I hope someone (anyone ?) can answer.
1) Does the JRE really have to be 32bit ? Even though I already have a perfectly functional 64bit 1.6 JRE instaleld for SAP purposes (as well as a 64bit JRE 1.7 for other uses)
2) The implication is that if a developer is already using Eclipse 4.x for other purposes, they will also need to install an obsolete version (Eclipse 3.7).
My next questions are more directed at the developers of ABAP in Eclipse (hopefully, they're watching).
1) Any idea what impact the EMF and Mylyn components have on other packages, especially the all-in-one packages (like the Eclipse IDE for xxx Developers packages listed on the Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo) downloads page) ?
2) Are there any plans to combine the EMF and Mylyn packages into an all-in-one Eclipse IDE for ABAP Developers package ?
thanks
Dear Martin,
unfortunately there is no all-in-one AiE Distribution. But I've created the Wiki Page: AiE easy installation where you can download a so called P2F file that will allow you to install all required components without manually searching them.
Best regards
Gregor
Thanks for that link, Gregor,
At the moment the AiE easy installation page suggests that we can use Eclipse 4.2, whereas the OP (OB ?) says we have to use Eclipse 3.x. I will find out for myself (if time and the gods of remote installation via mobile phone internet connectivity allow) tonight, and report back 🙂
Hi Martin,
you where right. The installation in Eclipse 4.2 fails in the moment with that error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: ABAP Development Tools 1.0.3 (com.sap.adt.core.feature.group 1.0.3)
Missing requirement: ABAP Development Tools Connectivity 1.0.2 (com.sap.adt.connectivity.feature.group 1.0.2) requires 'org.eclipse.platform.feature.group [3.6.0,4.0.0)' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: ABAP Development Tools 1.0.3 (com.sap.adt.core.feature.group 1.0.3)
To: com.sap.adt.connectivity.feature.group [1.0.2]
Best regards
Gregor
Hi Gregor & Martin,
I tried to install on the latest version and it failed and when i repeated the steps in 3.6 to 4.0 versions of eclipse it works. The SAP's documentation also refers to the same.
I am just running multiple versions of eclipse to keep the other eclipse software independent of ABAP eclipse, thus i need not to worry about what i am installing for the ABAP eclipse.
Cheers,
Prasanna
Hi,
Good blog. Has all the details required for installation. Have these queries:
1. While this allows to connect and work on a underlying R/3 system, does it need any basic pre-requisite for Netweaver AS ABAP stack ? One of the posts did mention that it has to be atleast an AS ABAP with SAP Kernel 7.20 and SAP BASIS 7.31 with support package stack 04.
2. Does this installation affect any other Eclipse installations/environment already available in our TP/Desktop ?
Regards,
Suma
Dear Suma,
1. Yes, as you've correctly mentioned it needs at least SAP NetWeaver ABAP 7.03 SP4 or 7.31 SP4. Only this releases provide the needed back-end services needed for AiE.
2. You can install Eclipse in a separate folder and use that for ABAP in Eclipse. Then it would not harm your other Eclipse installations.
Best regards
Gregor
Dear Wolf,
Could you give me a link for download ABAP Eclipse files (ABAP Development Tools) or send them to my email ssicefox@gmail.com?
Because I can't find ABAP Development Tools in site.
Please.
Wei LI
Dear Wei LI,
please check out the document http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-29607 it provides all the links to the download.
Best regards
Gregir
Hi all,
interesting blog, unfortunately my installation seems to be OK, but I don't see anyone of my sap connections from sap logon pad.
In other terms: in sap logon pag I've a lot of connections set to SSO, no one of them are shown in ADT.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Please check the version of SAP GUI, as per the requirements it should be SAP GUI for Windows 7.20 Patch Level 9 or higher.
Regards,
Prasanna
Hi Prasanna,
I've tried both 7.20 last patch available and 7.30 SAPGUI version, same result.
I've also checked MS Runtime library,it has been installed by HANA dev studio.
Regards
Massimilliano
Hi Massimilliano,
Can you please share the screenshot of installation details by using the path, Help->About eclipse->Installation details. Thus i can check whether all the required components have been installed or not. Also, when you say it has been installed by HANA dev studio? Can you please elaborate?
Regards,
Prasanna
Hi Prasanna,
I'll prepare screenshots - I'll send you ASAP.
MS runtime library was already on my laptop due to HANA studio installation - HANA studio installation performs ALSO the installation of that library (DLL).
Regards
Massimiliano
Hi Prasanna,
here some screenshots with:
- MS runtime installation
- ADT version
- ADT login combo empty with SAPLOGON version (7.30) and content (see _K62 is configured for SSO login, as required)
Anyway, msvcr100.dll library is in same folder as eclipse.exe
Many thanks
Best regards
Massimiliano
Your eclipse version does not seem to be right.. it should be one of the 3.6.X to 4.0. I am using 3.7.2 and it is working fine. Please download this version(link is mentioned in the blog) and repeat the steps as indicated in the blog. This could fix your issue.
Hi Prasanna,
I've installed Eclipse INDIGO, that is 3.7, anyway I'll try 3.7.2 as from the blog.
I'll keep you informed
Many thanks
Best regards
Massimiliano
Hi Prasanna,
unfortunately no good news: I've installed Indigo 3.7.2 but same result: popup is still empty, no systems selected from my saplogon pad.
I've noticed 1 difference during installation from installation guide: in installation guide another component is mentioned with ADT, that is: "Semantic file system". When I've installed ADT components I've just seen:
ABAP Development tools - Core
ABAP Development tools - communication
ABAP Development tools - Connection
JCo <<
while in the guide is mentioned
ABAP Development tools - Core
ABAP Development tools - communication
ABAP Development tools - Connection
Semantic File system <<
Semantic libraries are in plugin folder, can it have any meaning??
Many thanks
Best regards
Massimiliano
Hi,
Can you share the link for downloading SAP GUI for Windows 7.20 Patch Level 9 or higher.
Thanks,
Banaj
Good one. 🙂
Hi People,
I'm using the version 3.7.2 and I already installed all the enhancements from Eclipse, but when try to install the ABAP Enhancement the error bellow occur:
Someone with the same problem?
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: ABAP Development Tools Communication Framework 1.0.3 (com.sap.adt.fwk.ci.feature.group 1.0.3)
Missing requirement: ABAP Development Tools Communication Framework 1.0.3 (com.sap.adt.fwk.ci.feature.group 1.0.3) requires 'org.eclipse.emf.databinding.edit.feature.group [1.2.0,2.0.0)' but it could not be found
Regards,
Marcos.
Dear Marcos,
the easiest way to get all enhancements installed correctly is to follow the instructions on that Wiki Page: AiE easy installation where you can download a so called P2F file that will allow you to install all required components without manually searching them.
Best regards
Gregor
Hi Marcos...Were you able to fix your issue? I am stuck with the same error ...
Please read my reply to Marcos question.
Greg,
Thank you. It works for me now.
Thanks for share this.
I have made it working for the standard Eclipse helios version. However, I couldn't get it to work on latest HANA Studio rev 35 32bit windows.
Have you had any experiences on install ABAP Plugin on HANA studio?
Hi Everyone!
In my SICF there is not
node default_host > sap > bc > abap.
How can I create it?
thanks
Hello,
which NetWeaver ABAP Version do you use? ABAP in Eclipse is supported from 7.03 SP4 onwards.
Best regards
Gregor
How can I check NetWeaver ABAP Version ?
In the SAP GUI logged on to the system go to System -> Status in the main menu.
I found this:
SAP_BW 700 0024 SAPKW70024 SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0
That is only the BW component but when this one is 7.00 your ABA and BASIS release is also 7.00. So you have find a 7.03 system or use the trial version.
Really,
I'm going to check with my Base support in order to update.
Thank you.
Gregor, In my SICF there is not, too:
node default_host > sap > bc > abap.
The version componete is:
Why I can't see the node?
Thanks
Because your Version must be at least
For ADT http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/index?rid=/webcontent/uuid/1024acfb-5b30-2e10-f2bd-ccce5d8692b1 which one should I use for Windows 7 32-bit.
Thanks
Mirza
Dear Mirza,
there is not 32-Bit edition any more. I think it's time to upgrade to 64-Bit.
Best regards
Gregor
Thanks wolf,
I downloaded the ABAP eclipse files for "SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.03 SP04 64-bit Trial, 3.912 GB (3.912.392.119 bytes" and when try to install it on Eclipse it is giving error No software sites found. I did all the above steps for eclipse, except the ABAP files.
Thanks
Mirza
Dear Mirza,
what you've downloaded is the installation for a ABAP Application server that will support connecting from ABAP in Eclipse. If you have a 7.03 SP04 ABAP System accessible I would suggest you read through http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-29607 to learn how you install the Eclipse part.
Best regards
Gregor
Hi,
I have installed all the components related to abap in Eclipse. but when trying to login to the system it gives me the below error.
Logon to system XYZ failed (Connection to system "XYZ" is currently not available)
Could you please help me with this ?
Regards
Gururaj
Is your backend based on a supported SAP NetWeaver relase (at least AS ABAP of SAP NetWeaver 7.31/7.03 SP04)?
For mor information you can also check the FAQs:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-29113#Which_is_the_lowest_SAP_NetWeaver_release_supported_by_ADT
Thanks you so much Prasanna,
most of the pictures not working, can you fix it please?
Regards.
Good blog!! Very helpful to people with no experience of Eclipse.
However, i am here to ask for some help. I completed all the steps but still cannot login to the required system using SSO. My login is perfectly fine with just the SAP logon pad. But with Eclipse it comes up with the error message
Logon to system XXX failed (Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon) on XXX mshost YYY.YYY.com)
Has anyone come across this issue?
Thanks

Hi,
Very useful blog, with step by step instructions, apt for people who are new to Eclipse.
However, when i try to Activate Secure network connection in the SAP logon pad and try to log in, i receive and error stating "Error in SCN". So, I'm unable to go further.
Please guide me as to what has to be done.
Thanks,
Charles.
Hi,
Can you open Error Log view as described here: http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Freference%2Fref-error_log_view.htm
You can see error message details there.
Share the detailed error message.

It appears the zip for emf-runtime is not a proper updatesite.
Please open following page and download all in one update site, and continue forward:

Hi,
If you had done ABAP development before, you must have used ABAP workbench.
ABAP in Eclipse is new modern development enviroment to do ABAP development.
Please explore the ABAP in Eclipse community more to know about it.
To install ABAP in Eclipse, you have to follow the steps mentioned in this blog.
If your development environment is older than 731 SP4 or you want to explore latest features in ABAP in Eclipse, you have to install the trial version to explore the fun with ABAP in Eclipse.

Can you share similar steps for Mac?
I have installed eclipse and added all the plug-in's but I am getting an error "com.sap.adt.destinations.model.internal.config.SAPJavaGuiLogonConfigReader.parseConnectionsFile(SAPJavaGuiLogonConfigReader.java:344)
Looks like it is unable to identify either the content or the file location of SAP Java Logon file.

Dear Anuj,
is your SAP GUI for Java connection already working?

Eclipse is an excellent tools for developing any applications, thanks for sharing this wonderful tools to us, about how to use it in the SAP.
This sounds interesting. But I am not able to get it to work so far !
* I have installed Eclipse . Version 3.8.2
* I have installed the components till Mylyn Tasks - Focused Interface.
At this point I am not how to get the ABAP files? I downloaded SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.03 SP04 64-bit Trial, 3.912 GB (3.912.392.119 bytes) from http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/index?rid=/webcontent/uuid/1024acfb-5b30-2e10-f2bd-ccce5d8692b1
I am not sure what to do next. Eclipse can not find any components from the folder that I got from above link. Any pointers?
Dear Anuj,
you need to download the components for Eclipse either from the Service Marketplace (latest version) or via the link in the Document http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-29607 .
Best regards
Gregor
Thanks Gregor. I suppose netweaver is what I am missing in my set up ! I have access to ECC 6.0 only.. Any way I can by pass that and use eclipse directly with ECC?
ECC 6.0 is also based on NetWeaver. But you can use ABAP in Eclipse only when your ECC System is upgraded to Enhancement Package 6 (EhP 6) which needs NetWeaver 7.0 EhP 3 as a foundation.
We are EhP at this moment. 🙁
download ABAP Development Tools here http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-34380 , click " I agree to the terms and conditions blew " to download ADT plug-in.
Hi Anuj,
I think you are facing one the two problems.
1. You installed Eclipse but unable to install SAP ABAP add-on.
- For this refer to OSS Note 1718399.
2. You have installed SAP ABAP add-on but when you try to create an ABAP project the next screen appears as blank.
- For this you need to install Java Runtime Environment. Then on Windows, go to Start and right click on "My Computer" and then select Properties.
Now click on Advanced tab. Click on Environment Variables. Now add a new variable "JAVA_HOME" and value as path to your jre folder e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jre6. Save the variable value.
Now scroll down and search for environment variable "PATH" and append "%JAVA_HOME%\bin
Now restart Eclipse and try to create project.
This should solve your issue.
Regards,
Anuj
Thanks Anuj. There are many items on the list which I can not do on my own and I cant ask Basis to do it for me as no one is really interested in this ! Is there any presentation/video which shows how eclipse looks and functions which I can check out?
Dear Anuj,
if you have a PC with at least 4 GB of RAM you can install your own ABAP System which you can get from http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-29607 and you're ready to go.
Best regards
Gregor
Dear All,
I have successfully installed JRE, Eclipse and all the mentioned plug-ins. Now I want to create my first abap project, but no SAP system appears in the System Connection popup.
I have a SAPlogon 7.30 installed, containing several hundreds of working connections so SAP systems. But none of these connections appear in this box. Did I forget a step?
regards,
Ben
Hi All,
I found the solution using this link
http://www.lazysystemadmin.com/2009/12/sap-logon-ini-file-installation-on.html
I entered the SAPLOGON_INI_FILE environment variable as describe above and it work. Hurray 🙂
Note that I didn't need to execute step 11 (SNC connection) at all. I can just connect to the system (WAS731) and it works. Hope our customers will be upgrading to 731 systems as soon as possible.

Dear everybody,
I recommend SAP NetWeaver ABAP Trial, to first steps. It's only for 90 days, but I think it is the most complex framework system.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/index?rid=/webcontent/uuid/1024acfb-5b30-2e10-f2bd-ccce5d8692b1
Something new that is not included in this content. For installing the most recent ABAP, you need to select the EMF Edit Data Binding from the EMF core.
Hi All,
I am able to setup the ABAP on Eclipse in my HANA studio but when i am trying to create a new project in the ABAP perspective i get an error message : SNC Library not found; environment variable "SNC_LIB_64" not defined, fallback location does not exist: "C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SecureLogin\lib\secgss.dll" )
Could you please help me to know what is missing. I tried in both ways by setting the SNC mode to use SSO and without SSO. My system is SAP_BASIS 740 with SP03.
Thanks
Hi Ashish,
I believe on Windows you are missing some environment variables. In order to set the same follow below steps.
ou have installed SAP ABAP add-on but when you try to create an ABAP project the next screen appears as blank.
- For Java environment variable, install Java Runtime Environment. Then on Windows, go to Start and right click on "My Computer" and then select Properties.
Now click on Advanced tab. Click on Environment Variables. Now add a new variable "JAVA_HOME" and value as path to your jre folder e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jre6. Save the variable value.
Now scroll down and search for environment variable "PATH" and append "%JAVA_HOME%\bin
Now restart Eclipse and try to create project.
For SAP environment variable follow the same steps but instead of JAVA_HOME create SAP variable with path pointing to SAP logon pad ".ini" file.
Regards,
Anuj
Hi Anuj,
Thanks for your reply. I already had those environment variables setup properly. But for me it worked when i completely unchecked the SNC checkbox on the SAPGUI. I think i confused it with using SSO. Thanks again.
Regards,
Ashish
Thanks for sharing!

Hi,
I've installed Eclipse Juno ("IDE for Java EE Developers"), all prerequests from http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/AiE+easy+installation and "ABAP Core Development Tools 2.7.6" from http://service.sap.com/swdc . The instalation was ok and I can see the installed components on the list in Eclipse but my problem is, there is no ABAP Perspektive, no ABAP Project type, no ABAP at Welcome Page etc. - no sign of ABAP beside the list of installed components. I've restarted Eclipse and PC many times and searched for errors but without succes.
Is there an additional step needed to activate ABAP in Eclipse?
regards,
Kris
I don't get it, you don't need to install all those things, just download the Eclipse for RCP/RAP version and everything is ready to go. And Kepler is working just fine
Hello,
i installed Eclipse, works fine so far. I can edit all kind of ABAP-Code, the only really annoying problem is:
- every time i hit F8 to test the Program i have to reenter username and password in the appearing SAP-Interface (see attached picture)
It also appears a message --> "The issuer of the SSO ticket could not be verified"
Hi Volker,
There was a similar question some days ago:
Maybe the content there helps.
Michael
Hi Michael,
thanks for your answer, i´ve already seen it.
Using KeePass can only be a workaround.
There must be a better solution i think.
so perhaps anybody has a better solution.
Volker
Hi Volker,
My intention was to refer to the setting of the profile parameters, also mentioned in the thread. Unfortunately, I didn't get an update whether a restart of the server fixed the issue.
Michael
P.S.: We should move follow-up discussion to the other thread 😉
Hi,
I followed the instructions as mentioned but I get the following error while installing the software component for ABAP Eclipse file:
Missing requirement: Enterprise Service Development Tools in ABAP 1.9.0 (com.sap.adt.pitools.feature.group 1.9.0) requires 'org.eclipse.graphiti.feature.feature.group [0.9.0,1.0.0)' but it could not be found
P.S. I downloaded this file from marketplace SAPBASISAIE00_5-10013227 for abap eclipse
Any idea what am I missing out on ?
It is a lot easier to use the download site in Eclipse itself. There you got everything in one place and you should not run into an error.
Download the free version of the ABAP Development Tools via the Updatesite: https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#abap
See this document for further instruction if needed.

Hello @Prasanna Jagadeesh / All : I want to avoid entering client , user id and password when creating a new ABAP project from HANA Studio. Do we have an option to activate login using Active Directory Kerberos login ? Inputs from anyone will be appreciated.
SSO is enable on SAP NW however we still needs to generate separate password for developers to create ABAP project from HANA Studio.

Sameer
