Package change for Multiple objects of different object types

percy_68689 — Thu, 14 Sep 2023 11:11:42 GMT

We have a requirement where we need to change the Package of more than 10K custom dictionary objects. Individually changing the Package is not the option through SE03 as it will be time consuming. Tried creating the BDC for SE01 but after changing the first object's package execution of BDC program stops. Kindly suggest the way where input will be object name, Package and Transport request, so that given object will be aligned with the given package and saved in given Transport.

Thank in advance,

Regards,

Prasanna

I'd go to SE80, select the previous package, open the tree with the object names, click the first object, scroll down, shift-click the last object, right click the selection, choose 'Change Package assignment', and there you go, all selected objects will be moved to the new package.

It'll take some time, but it'll probably be faster as creating and testing a report that does it for you.

Unless of course, all the objects you wish to change are spread over dozens of different packages.. in that case the manual process may be somewhat more of a pain.

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for quick reply.
Yes, the objects are spread across different packages and number of objects is also huge.

Also SM30 TADIR, select all the objects you want (to be done twice, first on the selection screen and then on the list screen via cursor position + button select), then menu objects > reassign (package).

(already explained in the forum and more, please refer to these threads)

SM30 TADIR = same as the link Raymond has posted in your duplicate question (Package change for Multiple objects of different object types | SAP Community) - thanks to Raymond to search for you:

Mass Tadir changes using SE03
