hi,

i want to use bapi_ipak_change but when i execute it there is a message that some infopackage has been deleted. the technical name of this infopackage is not similar to the infopackage i have changed. i don't know if this is correct just because of the word "delete". it makes worry because i don't wnat any other infopackage to be deleted.

Hi Dennis

The bapi_ipak_change change the existing InfoPackage. It attempts to create a new InfoPackage, and, if successful, deletes the old InfoPackage and renames the new one.

I think this is why you get your delete message.

Best Regards
