Hi Nandan,

The developer key is generated by SAP and is unique for every user ID. It is generated when a request for one is raised by normally BASIS team from service market place for your SAP installation.

Do NOT update DEVACCESS table through a program/SQL statements. Instead, you can try to edit/create a program , then you would be prompted for the developer key in a popup. Enter the developer key there.

Cheers,

Aditya

Hi,

You need to get the dev access key thru sap market place, if you request basis guy, they will help you out. Even if u enter any 20 digits randomly into devaccess table, this will not give you any success.

Dev access key will be unique to every user.

Thanks,

Hello Nandan

If no key is defined in DEVACCESS for the developing user the system shows the popup to enter this key. This unique key is created based in the user-ID and the SAP installation number.

When the system find a key in DEVACCESS it uses this key and validates it using a C-kernel function. If the validation fails the popup appears again.

Thus, there is no point in manipulating table DEVACESS. If you have a valid key just enter it via the popup.
