[former_member778236]

My Second Blog post!

In this blog, I will explain on how to generate developer keys or object access keys & also explain on the below topics:

• What is Developer Key


• What is Object Key


• Which table stores them?

Developer Key:

Developer key is required to register user as developer in SAP service marketplace so that they perform customization in SAP system. Whenever developer try to create and changes program (or) object, it will ask to enter developer key to perform the changes.

There are two types of objects:

• Repository Objects


• Customer specific objects

Changing a repository object requires you both Developer Key and Object Key (also called as Object Access Key, Developer Access Key).

Object Access Key:

For every object you change it will ask for an Object Access key, with which can change SAP source or SAP dictionary object; this task is in general done by Basis team. User sends a request to Basis team for generating the key.

Note: In some cases, security team provides Developer access key or object key.

The developer key is issued by SAP for an individual developer user account, and Object access keys are issued for the development object that needs to be changed.

However, changing a program /object starting Z* i.e. customer specific object, you just need a developer key.

It can be access in Service Market Place at http://service.sap.com/sscr
