How to generate package interface including all objects from the package?

Peter_Inotai — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 13:08:23 GMT

Hi,

How can I generate package interface including all objects from the given package?

My release is SAP BASIS 6.20 - R/3 APPL 4.70.

I couldn't find anything on the [Online Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/37/72b3392f65f530e10000000a114084/frameset.htm].

Package like AKBINITIAL have the "Generated interface" active. Is there any report/tool for this?

Also I found package interface_BASIS_FILTER with PCHK/EVERYTHING, however I got an error message when I tried to add the same to my package interface.

OSS Note 1148288 (Reports for migration of package data) contains some reports, but this note seems to be relevant for release 7.10 only.

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Hi Peter,

maybe you can use a virtual default interface as described in chapter Types of Interfaces for Structure Packages ([Structure Packages|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/9c/8cd1569dee11d596bd00a0c94260a5/frameset.htm]).

Virtual default package interface
The package interface (implicitly) contains all the objects belonging to the structure package. 
This interface can be defined in a structure package, a main package, or a normal package.

It is possible to create an package interface and change the attribute INTF-DEFAULT_IF to V with SE16[N]. Sure, this is not exactly what you asked for, but if you access this interface from another package, you can suppress the package check messages.

I did not find yet a 'standard' way to create such an interface. Therefore, I would like to ask the community, if anybody knows how to create virtual default interfaces w/o changing the INTF entry? Is there any risk when doing it in that way I described?

Kind regards

Rudi

Maybe OSS [Note 1076777 - KORR: Package check error in Business Warehouse|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1076777] will help you.

Hi Rudi,

Thanks for your reply.

What I found that you can add PCHK/EVERYTHING for structure package interfaces. It's more convenient, than adding all the objects manually.

Also found FM PA_MAINTAIN_PACKAGE_INTERFACE from OSS Note 1081918, which probable a more consistent way to maintain or create package interfaces, then updating the tables directly.

I also opened an OSS message, SAP already answered, but currently I'm on customer site, so didn't have time to check it. I'll update it when I could make some progress in this area.

Peter

Thanks Raymond. Unfortunately it's not general, it's BW related note.
