What is 'ABAP Add-on PREFACE 100'?

I've seen an OSS note about how to install this tool (660684) in the DevToday section, but I couldn't find any info about the purpose of this tool

Any idea?

Thanks,

Incho

Ooops, this note shouldn't be released. It's just about a part of an R/3 Add On that will be released later.

Hi Dirk,

thanks for your answer!

Will this Add-on include new ABAP tools, or anything else which can be interesting for ABAP programmers?

Thanks,

Ahh, now I see there's a misunderstanding!

"Add-On" is the name for special applications that are part of the R/3 Enterprise package but not part of the classical R/3 core. New Applications or Extensions built around the R/3, e.g. some self services. Some of these Add Ons are 100% ABAP written, some consist of an ABAP and a Java written part. This note just describes how to install the ABAP part of such an R/3 Extension (whatever it does).

So "ABAP Add-On" is not a tool for ABAP developers but means "the ABAP part of an R/3 Add-On".

Now it's crystal clear.
