Eclipse Ctrl+Shift+A find ABAP object not working.

[former_member625844]

I'm writing a program and need to find a program as reference. But when I use Ctrl+Shift+A to search objects the repository workspace is empty so I can't search. I guess I need to create a repository workspace first but to do that also need to create a system. where can I find the system info such as host name or instance? It looks not like the ip address in the SAP GUI client. Thx.

If you usually play with an ABAP system from the SAP GUI, then take the info from the SAP GUI. But Eclipse ADT automatically proposes the list of systems from the SAP GUI when you add a system.

Hi Ricky,

from the title of your question, this sounds like the issue I ran into and asked about last year. Please see if the response I received for the incident I had then raised helps in your case:

The reason, why some objects were not found, is the incomplete search index in the system. You can update it by performing the following steps:

- Open transaction SE38
- Enter 'SRIS_PROG_TADIR_INDEX_UPDATER'
- Select Menu -> Program -> Execute -> Background
- Select 'Execute immediately'
- Wait until the background job has completed before you execute the next search. It can take a few minutes.

Cheers
