ABAP imported 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 that sets the stateful session flag on systems older than 7.51, so an HTTP client of the ADT resourcesADT resourcesThe HTTP endpoint an ABAP system exposes as the adt ICF service under /sap/bc/adt, so a client outside the system can reach development objects, delivered with the platform rather than installed.sap official, abap can update objects there.
ABAP objects have to be locked before they can be updated, and locking needs a stateful session. Eclipse works over RFC, which is stateful by default; a client working over HTTP has to manage the session flag itself, and the maintainer's account is that a 7.51 developer edition does this in method CONFIGURE_SESSION_STATE of class CL_ADT_WB_RES_APP while his other systems, a 7.50 PL5 one included, have no such method. This enhancement implements the same mechanism on those older systems. It is the server half of a pair: the client half is abap-adt-apiabap-adt-apiA JS/TS client for the ADT resources an ABAP system exposes, so a program outside the system can do against it what the maintainer calls a good share of what the Eclipse tools do.independent, abap, with the ABAP remote filesystem extension for Visual Studio Code above it.

It publishes no releases, and its repository has been quiet for at least 24 full months. This may be normal for stable software; check whether its current state still fits your use.
Conditions
PracticalFunctional boundary
A system that already handles the session has nothing to gain from it. The maintainer states that importing it there causes no issue and simply sets the flag twice.

Technical details
The ABAP developement tools require ABAP objects to be locked before they can be updated. This requires stateful sessions Eclipse works over RFC, which is stateful by default
Visual studio code works over HTTP, and needs to manage the stateful session flag. This is handled fine in my 7.51 developer edition, but not in older systems. This enhancement implements the same mechanism in older systems
There is no need to install this in systems which handle the sessions already, but it won't cause issue if imported. It will simply (re)set the flag twice
In my 7.51 system this is done by SAP in method CONFIGURE_SESSION_STATE of class CL_ADT_WB_RES_APP, in my other systems (including a 7.50 PL5 one) it doesn't exist.
