Source Control

[Former Member]

Can someone tell me who typically sets up or configures Source Control on the system?

Is this a Basis activity?

I'm not clear on this activity. Is this version management for the ABAP code?

thank you in advance.

Hello,

Source control is not the version management of your ABAP programs, this is done automatically and versions are kept in the SAP database.

Source control is used when it comes to Java developments on a J2EE stack, example for a portal.

For J2EE developments the basis team should setup some source control.

This is part of the NWDI setup, source control is part of NWDI (via DTR) :

After proper setup of NWDI for java developments by the basis team, the Java developers can use the source control to store the different java versions of their developments.

I hope this can help.

hi

Unlike other programming languages (technologies) Java, C++, for ABAP, the source resides inside the database and the version management is controlled by SAP internally. Any changes is therefore automatically documented.
