Hi,

There are Packages/Dev Classes in SAP to group the related objects together.

Temparary package is always = '&TMP'. This means you can't transport the objects to other clients.(not transportable).

If you wants to transport the objects to other clients You need to assign a package/Dev class compulsory for which you create your own package for your Z objects and assign to the object to create a request.

There will be already predefined SAP std packages for the Std Objects in SAP which were created. See the attributes of any Std Report you will find it.

All the packages are maintained in TDEVC table.

Hope you understood.

Regards,

Anji

The following naming conventions for packages determine the packages'

functions:

o Package begins with A-S or U-X:

These packages are for SAP standard objects. Customer objects cannot

be created in them. Changes to objects of these packages are

recorded by the Transport Organizer (Request management) and can be

transported (see field transport layer.

o Package begins with Y or Z:

Customer objects can be created in these packages. Changes to

objects in these packages are recorded by the Transport Organizer

(Request management). The objects can be transported to other SAP

Systems (see the field transport layer ).

o Package begins with T (private test package):

When you create a package of this type, you can specify whether you

want changes to be recorded. If so, objects that are edited are

recorded in local requests by the Transport Organizer. This package

does not belong to a transport layer. Objects can only be

transported to other SAP Systems if a transport request is created.

Package begins with $ (local package):

Changes to objects are not recorded by the Transport Organizer. The

package does not belong to a transport layer. The objects cannot be

transported.

Package begins with a namespace prefix:

If you have reserved a namespace, then you can create packages (and

other objects) whose names begin with the namespace prefix.

(Example of a namespace prefix /COMPANY/, example of a corresponding

package /COMPANY/DEVCLASS)

Changes to these packages are recorded by the Transport Organizer,

and can be transported.

Standard Package - eg: SDWA ( SAP standard package for Dialogue program)

User defined - We can create pacakage for transporting the object

from Dev to Quality.

Tcode - se80

Temp Package - $TMP ( we can't transport)
