Creating Switches 

Use

You can use transaction SFW1 to:

●      Create normal and conflict switches

●      Assign packages to switches

●      Display all objects that are switched via direct assignment. You assign switches to these objects in the respective tools. For example, you assign switches to screen fields in the Screen Painter.

●      Display switch settings

●      Define conflict switches for normal switches

You can also use the Object Navigator (transaction SE80) to create switches. To do so, in the context menu of a package, choose Create  ® Other (2) ® Switch.
