Inactive Sources
•
As of release 4.6, new functionality for inactive sources
has been introduced
•
This enhancement provides developers with a separate
local view of the R/3 Repository and is the basis for a
"local runtime system”
•
Changes to development objects can be tested within
this local system without disturbing the wider
development environment

Inactive Sources: Terminology
•
There are three essential new terms used in the context
of inactive sources:
– Active version: The database version of a
development object used to generate the runtime
object
– Inactive version: A saved database version of a
database object that does not affect the runtime
object (even after regeneration)
– Worklist: The set of all inactive versions of
development objects belonging to a particular user

This is PricewaterhouseCoopers PROPRIETARY MATERIAL (hereafter, the Material) intended for internal use only.
You may not rent, lease or distribute the Material to clients or other third parties, but you may transfer the Material to
other employees of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
ABAP Development Tools
Inactive Sources: Procedure
•
Objects are always saved as inactive versions
– When you create or change a development object and
then save it, an inactive version is written to the
database
•
Inactive objects are included in the user's worklist
– Development objects that have been edited and saved
are placed in the worklist of the developer responsible
– Each user has their own worklist, which other users
cannot access directly
4-ABAP Development Tools.9

ABAP Development Tools
Activating Objects
•
It is possible to activate the following:
– Entire worklist
– Selected objects
– Components of one object (classes in ABAP Objects)
•
Prerequisites:
– Before activating an object, the system checks the
syntax of the entire object (main program, function
group, or class)
– Any syntax errors are displayed in a list
4-ABAP Development Tools.10
This is PricewaterhouseCoopers PROPRIETARY MATERIAL (hereafter, the Material) intended for internal use only.
You may not rent, lease or distribute the Material to clients or other third parties, but you may transfer the Material to
other employees of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
ABAP Development Tools
Overview of Inactive Objects
•
It is possible to display various sets of inactive
development objects within the system
•
The following functions are available:
Activate the selected objects
Display all inactive objects belonging to a
request in the Workbench Organizer
Display the worklist for a specified user
Display all inactive sub-objects for a main
program or function group
Display all inactive objects in the system
4-ABAP Development Tools.11
This is PricewaterhouseCoopers PROPRIETARY MATERIAL (hereafter, the Material) intended for internal use only.
You may not rent, lease or distribute the Material to clients or other third parties, but you may transfer the Material to
other employees of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
ABAP Development Tools
Effect of inactive sources
•
Save
•
Saves the object in an inactive version without a syntax check. Enters the
object in your worklist.
•
Activate
•
Creates an active version from the existing inactive version. If an object
contains components (like classes in ABAP Objects), you can activate
individual components.
Before activating the object, the system checks the syntax of the entire
object, then creates an active version, generates a runtime version, and
deletes the corresponding entry from your worklist.
•
Generate
•
Creates a new runtime version from the existing active version. Unlike the
'Activate' function, this function only generates a new load version.
4-ABAP Development Tools.12
This is PricewaterhouseCoopers PROPRIETARY MATERIAL (hereafter, the Material) intended for internal use only.
You may not rent, lease or distribute the Material to clients or other third parties, but you may transfer the Material to
other employees of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
ABAP Development Tools
Effect of inactive sources
•
Display Active/Inactive Sources
•
If an object exists in both active and inactive versions, you can switch
between the versions in the ABAP Workbench tools.
•
Delete
•
Both active and inactive versions are deleted.
•
Note that when you delete components of a global class in the Class Builder,
they reappear in your worklist with the "Delete" icon. They are not finally
deleted or removed from your worklist until you activate the relevant objects.
•
Copy
•
The system uses the active version of the source object, except in the
Function Builder, where it asks you which version you want to copy if both an
active and an inactive version exist). The new copy is always inactive.
4-ABAP Development Tools.13
This is PricewaterhouseCoopers PROPRIETARY MATERIAL (hereafter, the Material) intended for internal use only.
You may not rent, lease or distribute the Material to clients or other third parties, but you may transfer the Material to
other employees of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
ABAP Development Tools
Effect of inactive sources
•
Rename
•
Applies to both the active and inactive versions of an object.
•
Syntax check
•
Uses your worklist.
•
Execute
•
A runtime object can only be generated from a syntactically-correct active
version. The inactive version of an executable program can be run from the
ABAP Editor. If you execute a program from the object list, there must be an
active version.
•
Transport
•
Only active objects can be transported. You cannot release a transport
request until all objects have been activated
4-ABAP Development Tools.14
This is PricewaterhouseCoopers PROPRIETARY MATERIAL (hereafter, the Material) intended for internal use only.
You may not rent, lease or distribute the Material to clients or other third parties, but you may transfer the Material to
other employees of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
ABAP Development Tools
Effect of inactive sources
•
Object list (SE80)
•
Displays all active and inactive objects. If an inactive version exists, the object is
highlighted.
•
Where-used list
•
Like the object list, the where-used list is global, not user-specific. It is based on all
objects.
•
Navigation
•
Navigation is user-specific, and takes your worklist into account. If an inactive
version of an object exists and the object is in your worklist, you will see that
inactive version. Otherwise, the active version is always displayed. This does not
apply only to navigation in the various ABAP Workbench tools, but also from the
object list or from a where-used list.
•
Debugging
•
The Debugger always displays the active version of an object.

Inactive Sources
•
As of release 4.6, new functionality for inactive sources
has been introduced
•
This enhancement provides developers with a separate
local view of the R/3 Repository and is the basis for a
"local runtime system”
•
Changes to development objects can be tested within
this local system without disturbing the wider
development environment

Inactive Sources: Terminology
•
There are three essential new terms used in the context
of inactive sources:
– Active version: The database version of a
development object used to generate the runtime
object
– Inactive version: A saved database version of a
database object that does not affect the runtime
object (even after regeneration)
– Worklist: The set of all inactive versions of
development objects belonging to a particular user

ABAP Development Tools
Inactive Sources: Procedure
•
Objects are always saved as inactive versions
– When you create or change a development object and
then save it, an inactive version is written to the
database
•
Inactive objects are included in the user's worklist
– Development objects that have been edited and saved
are placed in the worklist of the developer responsible
– Each user has their own worklist, which other users
cannot access directly

Activating Objects
•
It is possible to activate the following:
– Entire worklist
– Selected objects
– Components of one object (classes in ABAP Objects)
•
Prerequisites:
– Before activating an object, the system checks the
syntax of the entire object (main program, function
group, or class)
– Any syntax errors are displayed in a list

ABAP Development Tools
Overview of Inactive Objects
•
It is possible to display various sets of inactive
development objects within the system
•
The following functions are available:
Activate the selected objects
Display all inactive objects belonging to a
request in the Workbench Organizer
Display the worklist for a specified user
Display all inactive sub-objects for a main
program or function group
Display all inactive objects in the system
4-ABAP Development Tools.11

ABAP Development Tools
Effect of inactive sources
•
Save
•
Saves the object in an inactive version without a syntax check. Enters the
object in your worklist.
•
Activate
•
Creates an active version from the existing inactive version. If an object
contains components (like classes in ABAP Objects), you can activate
individual components.
Before activating the object, the system checks the syntax of the entire
object, then creates an active version, generates a runtime version, and
deletes the corresponding entry from your worklist.
•
Generate
•
Creates a new runtime version from the existing active version. Unlike the
'Activate' function, this function only generates a new load version.
4-ABAP Development Tools.12
This is PricewaterhouseCoopers PROPRIETARY MATERIAL (hereafter, the Material) intended for internal use only.
You may not rent, lease or distribute the Material to clients or other third parties, but you may transfer the Material to

ABAP Development Tools
Effect of inactive sources
•
Display Active/Inactive Sources
•
If an object exists in both active and inactive versions, you can switch
between the versions in the ABAP Workbench tools.
•
Delete
•
Both active and inactive versions are deleted.
•
Note that when you delete components of a global class in the Class Builder,
they reappear in your worklist with the "Delete" icon. They are not finally
deleted or removed from your worklist until you activate the relevant objects.
•
Copy
•
The system uses the active version of the source object, except in the
Function Builder, where it asks you which version you want to copy if both an
active and an inactive version exist). The new copy is always inactive.
4-ABAP Development Tools.13

ABAP Development Tools
Effect of inactive sources
•
Rename
•
Applies to both the active and inactive versions of an object.
•
Syntax check
•
Uses your worklist.
•
Execute
•
A runtime object can only be generated from a syntactically-correct active
version. The inactive version of an executable program can be run from the
ABAP Editor. If you execute a program from the object list, there must be an
active version.
•
Transport
•
Only active objects can be transported. You cannot release a transport
request until all objects have been activated

ABAP Development Tools
Effect of inactive sources
•
Object list (SE80)
•
Displays all active and inactive objects. If an inactive version exists, the object is
highlighted.
•
Where-used list
•
Like the object list, the where-used list is global, not user-specific. It is based on all
objects.
•
Navigation
•
Navigation is user-specific, and takes your worklist into account. If an inactive
version of an object exists and the object is in your worklist, you will see that
inactive version. Otherwise, the active version is always displayed. This does not
apply only to navigation in the various ABAP Workbench tools, but also from the
object list or from a where-used list.
•
Debugging
•
The Debugger always displays the active version of an object.
