What is the Main Package .? Do I need to check it ?

Why I am creating this Function group or package is I need to create three tables under this .

Package mean it is folder where all the related objects are stored ....for retreiving and executing purpose .. you can easily find within that PAckage which is nothing but Development Class.

Package will have set of Collection of Function Groups and all . you can see it in SE80 ....

packgage will have

Database table.

views

dataelements

domains

function Groups

programs

transcation codes ...etc

Function Group ... it is the Root Node of all the Function Modules ...

so Function Group is set of collection of Function Modules which are interfaced within it ...

reward points if it i usefull ..

Hi Sam,

You can find SAP documentation for Application, Software Component and Transport Layer. They are as follows:

<b>Application component ID</b>

Name used to identify the application component

<b>Software Component</b>

The software component describes a set of objects that are always delivered together. A software component is released in succcessive versions with new functions. You can provide each component separately with Support Packages.

Objects are assigned to a software component by assigning the packages of the object. This enables objects from one software component to move to another software component when you switch to a new release.

<b>Transport Layer in ABAP Workbench</b>

The Change and Transport System supports the distribution of development work on large projects across multiple SAP Systems.

The packages in each development system are grouped into one transport layer.

The transport layer determines whether objects are assigned to a local or transportable change request.

Use

Each of your SAP development systems is assigned a transport layer as its standard transport layer. If you use Extended Transport Control, you can assign different standard transport layers to certain clients.

You can define at the most one consolidation target for each SAP System and transport layer.

When you create a package, it is assigned the standard transport layer of the SAP System.

If you want to assign a different transport layer to a package, you require the administration authorization for the Change and Transport System.

The objects in a package automatically have the transport attributes defined for the corresponding transport layer.

If a consolidation route originating in their SAP System is defined, then the objects are assigned to a transportable request, and transported into the consolidation target when it is released.

If a consolidation route is not defined, the objects are assigned to a local request, and are not transported.

Customizing settings are not assigned to a package. They have the transport attributes of the standard transport layer of the system or client.

It is best to assign a package a standard transport layer for which a consolidation route originating in the development system is defined.

To display and maintain the transport layers and routes, use the Transport Management System (transaction STMS).

Only the system adminstrator can make changes.
