Multiple people working on one module pool - how?

Hello SDN Community,

I have a need for multiple people to be working on the same module pool. Since the forms are in a shared include inside the main program, how is it handled the multiple people writing code at the same time for the same module pool? Also the concurrent creation of screens in SE51 and pf-statuses in SE41?

Thank you,

Dean Atteberry.

You can write code in shared includes, includes and declared in the TOP. But global activation will be a problem.

For example: one developer can write code for all PBO modules in separate include and other developer can write all PAI modules in separate include , during activation any one of the person needs to get activated.

Transports are in same transport (may as sub request)

The shared include can itself have includes - one for each developer.

It can get messy though. You still need global variables and they should be in the top include (which also can be made up of includes).

I was thinking about SAP module pool SAPMP50A (HR maintenance screen). It has lots of screens, includes, pf-status, etc. I realize that this has evolved over time and that lots had been added since original development.

But the original SAPMP50A must have had a lot of screens designed for it. Assuming it had, lets say 10 screens, did only one SAP developer build all 10 screens? Or did SAP put multiple people on it? And if so, how did they handle needing access to forms in same include with realities of editor locking?

Best way that I can see this now is that only one developer to a given module pool. Maybe a second one could build his part in a secondary module pool (and SE51/SE41) and then copy what they built to main module and SE51 and SE41.

Just trying to think this thing thru.....

Didn't mean to imply that I had decided what to do. Still interested in options for how to do this.........
