3. Open the Project Explorer view.
4. Share the project
Right-click the project you want to share and choose Team > Share Project… in the pop-up menu.
5. Select the repository type.
The Share Project dialog displays a list of all available repository types; choose SAP HANA Repository and
choose Next.
6. Select the repository workspace where the project should be located.
7. Specify the package that you want to associate the shared project with.
The Share Project dialog displays the suggested location for the shared project in the New Project location
screen area. The default location is the name of the workspace with the name of the project you want to
share. Choose Browse... to locate the package you want to associate the shared project with. The selected
package is displayed in the Path to package text box.
Note: The Keep project folder option appends the name of the project you are sharing to the name of
the workspace in which you are sharing the project and creates a new package with the name of the
shared project under the workspace location displayed. Use this option only if you want to create
multiple projects for a selected package, for example, if you are creating a root project in your root
application package.
8. Click Finish to complete the project-sharing procedure.
9. Add new files as required
At this point you can start adding project-specific files to the shared project. These artifacts can then be
committed to the repository, where they reside as inactive objects until they are activated, for example, using
the Team Activate option in the context-sensitive menus available in the Project Navigator view.
Note: The Project Explorer view decorates the file icons to indicate the current state of the repository
files, for example: local (not yet committed), committed (inactive), and active (available for use by
others).
10. Make the project available for import, for example, so that others can join it and make changes to project
content.
The project-sharing procedure creates some artifacts (for example, the .project file) that must be
committed to the repository and activated so that other team members can import the project more easily
into their workspace. The .project file is used in several dialogs to populate the list of available projects.

Importing a Project in SAP HANA XS [page 41]
Before you can start the application-development workflow, you must either create a new project and share it
(with the repository), or import a shared project from the repository into your workspace. Importing a project
enables you to track and synchronize local changes with the colleagues working on the objects in the imported
project.
