SAP ABAP Development Tools (ADT)

Read and write ABAP and CDS sources, activate objects, run classrun probes and manage transport requests over the ADT REST API — the same API Eclipse uses, without Eclipse.

Available Actions

This connector provides 10 actions:

Action	Purpose	Parameters
read_source	Read the ABAP source of a repository object class, program, CDS view, behavior definition, ....	objectType (string) required name (string) required
write_source	Write the ABAP source of a repository object: locks it, replaces the source, unlocks it and by default activates it. Always unlocks, including when the write fails.	objectType (string) required name (string) required source (string) required transportRequest (string) activate (boolean)
activate	Activate a repository object. Reports the ABAP syntax messages — ADT returns those inside a 200 response, so an inactive-but-saved object is not a silent success.	objectType (string) required name (string) required
search_objects	Search the repository by name pattern, the way the ADT search field does. Use it to find out whether an object exists and which type it is.	query (string) required maxResults (integer)
run_class	Run an ABAP class that implements IF_OO_ADT_CLASSRUN and return what it wrote, the way 'Run as console application' does in Eclipse. This is the ABAP REPL.	className (string) required
create_transport	Create a transport request and return its number.	description (string) required type (string) target (string)
release_transport	Release a transport request. Releasing freezes it — further changes need a new request, and production then expects the requests in order.	transportRequest (string) required
list_transports	List the modifiable transport requests of a user.	user (string)
discovery	Read the ADT discovery document: the collections this system actually serves. Use it to check whether a capability is available before assuming it is.	No parameters
request	Send a raw request to the ADT REST API for anything the typed actions do not cover. The path is appended to /sap/bc/adt.	method (string) required path (string) required query (object) body (string) contentType (string) accept (string)
