Package Assignment to object

Former Member — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 05:26:24 GMT

I have created the new package for ex:ZPACK with properties(software component,transport layer).

my question is:

when assigning this package to newly creating objects for example:Assigning ZPACK to ZREPORT, that new object should be renamed as ZPACK_ZREPORT

is there any possibilities for renaming the object when assigning it to a package?

No, and it does not make sense, in my opinion. You are duplicating information, and much worse, what do you do when you want to re-assign objects to other packages in the future? You cannot possibly rename all objects, because of their usage in other objects (where-used-list).

Hi Thomas,

I guess he is talking about new objects and not existing objects.

Thanks,

Yes, but these new objects might need to get re-assigned somewhere down the road, and then the naming logic is not consistent any more.

I'm just saying that duplicating the package name into the object name is not a good idea, although I would like to hear about the rationale for doing it in this case here.

Hi Raghu,

Hope this will help you.

There is one badi definition CTS_CURRENT_PROJECT.

Try with this badi. It will help to get ur requirement done.

There is one Parameter It_objects in that u'l get variables for object name and package.

Try to concatenate and pass it.

newly creating objects

Yes, IMHO, He wants some kind of check/automatic rename during creation of new object, a kind of exit/BAdI during creation in object repository directory. And he is ready to manage the exit/BAdI to not cause trouble when importing external transport order or applying patches/SP or such....

Raymond

This BADI is for a different purpose and irrelevant to the issue discussed here.

Please do more research before replying (not only before asking).
