enables you to track and synchronize local changes with the colleagues working on the objects in the imported
project.
To import an existing project from the repository into your workspace, perform the following steps.
1. Open the SAP HANA studio
2. Open the SAP HANA Development perspective.
3. Choose the HANA Repositories view.
4. Right-click the package where the project you want to import is located and choose Checkout and Import
Projects... in the popup menu.
Projects can be assigned to a package at any level of the package hierarchy. If you know where the project is
located, browse to the package first before choosing the Checkout and Import Projects... option. This reduces
the amount of files to checkout and download to your local file system.
Note: The existence of a .project file in a package identifies the package as being associated with a
project.
The SAP HANA studio checks out the content of the selected package and displays any projects it finds in the
Projects screen area.
5. Select the projects to import.
If multiple projects are available for import, select the projects you want to import.
6. Choose Finish to import the selected projects.
You can add the imported project to your Working Sets.
Note: A working set is a concept similar to favorites in a Web browser, which contain the objects you
work on most frequently.

All content delivered as part of the application you develop for SAP HANA is stored in packages in the SAP HANA
repository. The packages are arranged in a hierarchy that you define to help make the process of maintaining the
packages transparent and logical.
To perform the high-level tasks that typically occur during the process of maintaining repository packages, you
need to be familiar with the concepts of packages and package hierarchy that create and maintain the artifacts for
your applications. You also need to know about the privileges the application developers will need to have access
to (and perform operations on) the packages.
Note: You can also create and delete packages in the Project Explorer, for example, by creating or deleting
folders in shared projects and committing and activating these changes. However, to maintain advanced
package properties (for example, privileges, component, the package maintainer, and so on) you must
use the Modeling perspective in the SAP HANA studio..
As part of the process of maintaining your application packages, you typically perform the following tasks:
