Task 1: Import and Export SAP Build Process Automation Projects
Steps
Import the SAP Build Process Automation project into your tenant.
In the SAP Build Lobby, select the Import button right next to the Create button.
In the appearing popup, select Browse to browse for the project file to be imported (the one you have downloaded in the Prerequisites section).
After you have selected the file, choose Import. Depending on the size of the project, it takes a few seconds until the file is imported.
Open the newly imported project ImportExportExercise from the SAP Build Lobby.
The Project Overview opens, displaying four existing artifacts.
Create a new artifact within the imported project.
Use the following data:
Field | Value |
---|
Name | NewArtifact |
From the project Overview, select Create to create a new artifact.
Select Data Type.
In the Create Data Type pop-up, enter NewArtifact as Name.
Select Create.
The Data Type editor opens.
As this exercise is supposed to show you that you can extend an imported project with any kind of artifact, you do not need to create any fields within the new Data Type.
Export the enhanced project.
Select the SAP logo in the top left to go back to the SAP Build Lobby.
For the ImportExportExercise project, select the More Options button.
Select Export.
In the Select Version dropdown in the pop-up, select Editable Version, and then Export.
A project file containing all the project’s content will be downloaded to your file system.
(Optional) Reimport the exported project.
In the SAP Build Lobby, select the More Options button for the ImportExportExercise project.
Select Delete.
Note: You only need to delete the project for exercise reasons, as it is not possible to have the same project twice within the same SAP Build tenant.
Select the Import button next to the Create button.
In the appearing popup, select Browse to browse for the project file to be imported (the one you have exported previously).
After you have selected the file, choose Import.
Depending on the size of the project, it takes a few seconds until the file is imported.
Open the newly imported project ImportExportExercise from the SAP Build Lobby.
The Project Overview opens.
The displayed artifacts should include the Data Type artifact you created earlier.
