abap-tags-backend
The ADT backend needed by the separate ABAP Tags Eclipse plugin, installed in the ABAP system with abapGit; an upgrade to v2.0.0 or later runs a migration program for its new database tables.
The ABAP Tags Eclipse plugin needs a counterpart running inside the ABAP system to serve its data over ADT; this repository is that backend. It installs with abapGitabapGitA Git client written in ABAP that runs inside the system, so objects are cloned, pulled and pushed without leaving it; with no package manager in ABAP, a cloned repository is how code is distributed.community org, abap, and reaching it from ADT requires the authorization object S_ADT_RES scoped to the URI prefix /devepos/adt/atm/*. Upgrading from before v2.0.0 to v2.0.0 or later requires running the migration program ZABAPTAGS_MIGR_v2_0, because of new database tables; new installations do not need it.

Installation
Install this repository using abapGit.
Upgrade to v2.0.0

| Authorization Object | Authorization Field | Value |
|---|---|---|
| S_ADT_RES | URI | /devepos/adt/atm/* |
