name	abapgit-doma-object
description	Create an abapGit DOMA object outside SAP systems using user-defined names and repository reference files.

Create abapGit DOMA object

abapGit docs: Supported Object Types | File Formats | Test Repo

Goal

Create a DOMA (Domain) object directly as abapGit-serialized repository files, outside an SAP system.

abapGit serialization rules

• Files are UTF-8 with BOM, LF line endings, 2-space indentation.
• Filenames: <object_name>.doma.xml — all lowercase.
• The XML metadata file must start with:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <abapGit version="v1.0.0" serializer="LCL_OBJECT_DOMA" serializer_version="v1.0.0">
  

Naming rule

• Use the exact object names provided by the user/request.
• Do not use placeholder names for implementation.

File structure

A DOMA object consists of a single file:

• <name>.doma.xml — domain metadata

Complete sample

Sample A — Simple domain (CHAR type)

src/zfoo_status.doma.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<abapGit version="v1.0.0" serializer="LCL_OBJECT_DOMA" serializer_version="v1.0.0">
 <asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
  <asx:values>
   <DD01V>
    <DOMNAME>ZFOO_STATUS</DOMNAME>
    <DDLANGUAGE>E</DDLANGUAGE>
    <DATATYPE>CHAR</DATATYPE>
    <LENG>000001</LENG>
    <OUTPUTLEN>000001</OUTPUTLEN>
    <DDTEXT>Status</DDTEXT>
    <DOMMASTER>E</DOMMASTER>
   </DD01V>
   <DD07V_TAB>
    <DD07V>
     <DOMNAME>ZFOO_STATUS</DOMNAME>
     <VALPOS>0001</VALPOS>
     <DDLANGUAGE>E</DDLANGUAGE>
     <DOMVALUE_L>A</DOMVALUE_L>
     <DDTEXT>Active</DDTEXT>
    </DD07V>
    <DD07V>
     <DOMNAME>ZFOO_STATUS</DOMNAME>
     <VALPOS>0002</VALPOS>
     <DDLANGUAGE>E</DDLANGUAGE>
     <DOMVALUE_L>I</DOMVALUE_L>
     <DDTEXT>Inactive</DDTEXT>
    </DD07V>
   </DD07V_TAB>
  </asx:values>
 </asx:abap>
</abapGit>

Sample B — Numeric domain (INT1 type, no fixed values)

src/zfoo_quantity.doma.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<abapGit version="v1.0.0" serializer="LCL_OBJECT_DOMA" serializer_version="v1.0.0">
 <asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
  <asx:values>
   <DD01V>
    <DOMNAME>ZFOO_QUANTITY</DOMNAME>
    <DDLANGUAGE>E</DDLANGUAGE>
    <DATATYPE>INT1</DATATYPE>
    <LENG>000003</LENG>
    <OUTPUTLEN>000003</OUTPUTLEN>
    <DDTEXT>Quantity</DDTEXT>
    <DOMMASTER>E</DOMMASTER>
   </DD01V>
  </asx:values>
 </asx:abap>
</abapGit>

Key XML elements

Element	Description
DOMNAME	Domain name (uppercase, max 30 chars)
DDLANGUAGE	Original language (E = English)
DATATYPE	ABAP data type: CHAR, NUMC, DATS, TIMS, DEC, INT1, INT2, INT4, RAW, FLTP, etc.
LENG	Internal length (zero-padded 6 digits)
OUTPUTLEN	Output length (zero-padded 6 digits)
DDTEXT	Short description
DOMMASTER	Master language (E = English)
DD07V_TAB	Optional: fixed values list

Creation workflow

1. Take the domain name and target package path from the user/request.
2. Create <name>.doma.xml in the appropriate src/ subfolder.
3. Set DOMNAME to the uppercase object name.
4. Choose the correct DATATYPE and LENG for the use case.
5. Add DD07V_TAB entries only if the domain has fixed values.

Done-check

• Serializer is exactly LCL_OBJECT_DOMA.
• DOMNAME in XML matches the filename (uppercase vs lowercase).
• DATATYPE and LENG are valid ABAP dictionary types.
• Fixed values (if any) have sequential VALPOS starting at 0001.
• No SAP-system-only creation step is required.
