Hi Xperts,

I have a simple question. As far as I have learned that in SAP-ABAP every program,FM, CL etc has to assigned to a Package to modularize, encapsulate, and decouple units in the SAP System. It could it either $TEMP or Z-package. $TEMP is temporary storage location for Test scenarios & are flashed out by Basis guys.

My question is 'I'm using CLNT 800 (Sandbox), I assign all my code to a Z-package. Now what happens to the Z-package. Does the Basis people flush it out, in short , How long the Z-package is available in Sandbox to me???'

hanx in advance.

Hi Kevin,

Ideally the Z- Package is at your disposal. It will be available until you delete it or the owner (the user id that created the package) deletes but.

But, practically, your BASIS Team can do a system copy, refresh which may result in erasing your package.

There is a great amount of help available on SDN about package. Search for more details.

Regards,

Pranav.

Hello...

Flush out...... you mean system refresh or maintainence ?

The packages will not get deleted during this time but generally whenever system refresh or support packges installation happens to the Developemet system..people wil take the back up for safer side... but it never losts any programs unless it is in TMP package...

Experts correct me if i am wrong....

It always better to have a back of your programs incase if there is a system copy or refresh.
