BW Modelling Tools - Transport package assignment (default and usage in transformation rules)

Dear all

how can I achieve in the BW modelling tools that the BW objects are being assigned to a default transport package and not to $TMP, so that the developers are being encouraged to write their changes on transport requests?

The Standard Transport System setting is activated (To activate the standard transport system , select in the function area Transport connection of Administrator Workbench Edit -> Transport -> Activate Standard)

And, if I create an e.g. an ABAP start routine in BW4 (1.0 SP11) the corresponding rule is being saved as local object even if my transformation is assigned to a transport package:

Is this is a bug or a feature with workaround (not the one with manually collecting them afterwards which is annoying)?

Thanks and best regards

Paul

As I just googled my own question I want to add at least my answer here:

In the meantime at least in BW/4 2.0 and BW/4 2021 we have the default package assignment preference option including the package per space:

The bug that start/endroutines had to be collected separately was also fixed in the meantime...

Hi,

you have to change from BW-modeling perspective to ABAP perspective via properties tab at BW workbench object (e.g. transformation).

In ABAP perspective you can change package assignment via context menu at project explorer tree.

See following screenshots.

The described above approach do not wok, because the BW auto-generated ABAP objects that sits behind the BWMT created BW objects - like Programs and Transfer Structures and Application Structures, could not be added to custom created package.
