  The Design Time Repository (DTR) is a central repository for all development objects in the SAP system. It is used to store and manage the development objects created in the ABAP Workbench, Java IDE, and Infrastructure components of the BC-DWB. The DTR is a single source of truth for all development objects, allowing developers to access and modify them from any location. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The DTR can be accessed through the ABAP Workbench, Java IDE, and Infrastructure components of the BC-DWB. It is used to store and manage development objects such as programs, classes, functions, and other objects. Developers can create new objects or modify existing ones in the DTR. They can also view the object's properties and dependencies, as well as its version history.

  When creating or modifying an object in the DTR, it is important to ensure that all changes are properly documented. This will help other developers understand what changes have been made and why.
