Dev Classes in a Function Group?

Former Member — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 20:44:33 GMT

Can you have objects with different development classes in one Function Group? If so, any risks involved?

Thank-You

HI,

Yes you can have .. objects of different Dev classes into a Function group.. I dont see any problem as such, ensured that the function group contents are moved accordingly....

But its always good to have everthing under same dev class.. Change he development class of other objects.

Thank

Mahesh

Hi,

Usually you want to use same development class for the same function group.

This will be helpful for searching and/or development audit purposes in the future.

Having said that you can use different development class for the same function group and I don't think there is risk involved.

Can you change the development class of an object once it is created?

Thanks.

Hi Tom,

In SE80

enter your Function Group

Select the Function group and Right click

Select More Functions --> Change package assignment

In main Menu select GOTO --> Object Directory Entry

Even if SAP lets you do otherwise, I think you are safer getting all the objects into one development class / package. I can see problems down the line in having them mismatched e.g. possibly ending up with related objects in different transports. As Kishore says, it's a quick job to "Goto > Object Directory Entry" on most things and change the value there.

Hello Ferry, SE03 or program RSWBO052 I believe will do the trick because I need to change Dev Classes to individual tables and objects as some in the Function Group have the correct Dev Class, others do not.

However, I do not see where I can change the dev Class of a table in SE80. The Go To Object Directrory Entry.Change, it seems, only allows me to change the Last Changed By field, and won't let me put in the new Dev Class name. the Dev Class name appears in the popup but I am not allowed to select it.

Thanks for your help.
