Hey Mike,
sorry for the late answer, I was pretty overloaded recently.
You need to ask for the SCA file which includes the sources. (You can figure out this easly by simply looking into the SCA file. It is just a zip like archive so you can extract it with winzip, winrar, or using "jar -xvf <the SCA file>". If it has a folder called SOURCEARCHIVES then you can import it into your NWDS and look into it what kind of DC have been developed inside (of course a prerequisite is that the SC has been assembled not with the option "include only sourcepointers"). If all these prerequisites are fullfilled, then you can simply import the SCA file into your NWDS CE (you do this in "Development Configuration" perspective --> selecting the "LocalDevelopment" development confuguration available by default. In its context menu there is an option for importing SCs).
If we speak about a 700 version, then as far as I know you cannot just simply import the SCA file directly (there is no such option in NWDS 700), but you need to create a track first which has a dependency to this SCA, and then by importing the development configuration of this track you"ll be able to see and modify this SC (one restriction: if this SC origins from a different NWDI domain, you cannot alter the SP and patch level of this SC). Regarding this approach you need to create a product/software-unit/software in SLD which refers this SC (important, it has to be a build-time dependency), and then you need to put the SC file physically into the <transport folder>/CMS/inbox folder (figure out your transport folder from the "Domain Data" Tab of your CMS webui -- Landscape Configurator), check-in the file ("Check-in" tab in Transport Studio of CMS), and import into (at least the DEVelopment buildspace -- "Development" tab in CMS' Transport Studio). Once it is done, you can start up your NWDS and import the development configuration (_Dev) of this track. Since you have specified the dependency to this SC for your custom SC, checked in and imported into the DEV buildspace , it shall show up in your NWDS (important: inactive view. Active is reserved for CBS, one must not ever check out from there).
I hope it is clear, let me know if you have any further questions to this.
Thank you!
Best Regards,
Ervin
