ZR_LREP_ADAPTATION_DOWNLOAD
ABAP report that downloads SAPUI5 Adaptation Project (App Variant) artifacts from the SAP Layered Repository (LREP) to the local file system.
Purpose
When working with SAPUI5 Adaptation Projects, the variant artifacts (changes, fragments, i18n files, etc.) are stored in the LREP table /UIF/LREPDCONT. This report extracts all artifacts belonging to a specific App Variant and saves them to a local folder, preserving the original namespace-based directory structure.
Prerequisites
- SAP GUI access with authorization to read from
/UIF/LREPDCONT
- The UI5 App Index must be available (
/UI5/IF_UI5_APP_INDEX_SEARCH)
- Frontend services must be enabled (file download to the local machine)
Usage
- Run the report via transaction
SA38 or SE38.
- Enter the Custom App ID (the app variant ID) in the selection screen, or use the F4 help to browse all available app variants on the
CUSTOMER_BASE layer. You can find the App ID via App Support in Launchpad.
- If the variant is linked to multiple standard apps, a popup lets you pick the correct one.
- Select a download folder on your local machine.
- The report downloads all artifacts and displays a count of saved files.
How It Works
| Step | Description |
|---|
| Resolve Standard App | Queries /UIF/LREPDCONT for distinct namespaces matching the given custom app ID and extracts the standard app name from the namespace path (apps/<std_app>/appVariants/<custom_app>). |
| Fetch Documents | Selects all records (namespace, name, type, binary content) from the CUSTOMER_BASE layer for the resolved app variant path. |
| Download | Converts each XSTRING content to binary, creates the necessary sub-folders on the local file system, and saves each file as <name>.<type>. |
Selection Screen
| Parameter | Description |
|---|
P_CUST | Custom App ID (app variant identifier). Mandatory, lowercase. F4 help available. |
