Development Center Tool a software application for change request management

Abstract

The paper deals with a software Enterprise Resource Planning type application concerning the DCT (Development Center Tool). The application consists of a development center and transport management, inside in a large Oil and Gas Company. The software application has been developed using an SAP (System and Applications, Products) environment. The programing language employs ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming). Details regarding the analysis, implementation and testing of the software application are presented.

Calibration oil reservoirs — A software application for metrology

“…Using new software technology, in fact ESR, is part of daily activity inside oil companies, which try to automate processes, in order to have an accurate visibility of their innovations and to adapt several changes shortly and with better results [8], [9]. In order to achieve this, many companies create development teams dedicated to solve the problems of each specific activity.…”

“…This method is used to calibrate a vertically cylinder reservoir with fixed roof. This reservoir cannot have a nominal capacity greater than 40 cubic meters [9].…”

“…In order to verify and calibrate a tank it's used a different metal measurement unit (with overflow): 100dm 3 (cubic decimeter), 200 dm 3 , 500 dm 3 or higher than this value. If it is needed to measure with other standard fraction, then we will use, a measure of 50 dm 3 [9], [10].…”

“…All used metrology transactions refer to the Web Dynpro technology / pool and to the initial screen. All programs are written using ABAP methodology and according with the company guideline and rules using Development Center tool [9], and, as a particular knowhow, the created code can be moved to other development systems, using Transport Organizer (se10 transaction), where we will create a big transport (transport of copies -because we have to add the corresponding target system) and we will include all created transports for dedicated development (report, form…etc.). The transport request will be added afterwards to the correspondent transport directory, in order to be included to the queue of target SAP system and imported in all systems in order to be visible for all SAP users.…”

Software Design for Oil Industry Metrology Systems

“…All used metrology transactions refer to the WebDynpro technology / pool and to the initial screen. All programs are written using ABAP methodology and according with the company guideline and rules using Development Center tool [9], and, as a particular knowhow, the created code can be moved to other development systems, using Transport Organizer (se10 transaction), where we will create a big transport (transport of copies -because we have to add the Figure 10. Metrology add new measurement corresponding target system) and we will include all created transports for dedicated development (report, form…etc.).…”
