Creating and Removing Third-Party Products 

Use

You can use this procedure to create a third-party product, and add a software unit and a software component to it. You can also create only a third-party product, and add a software unit and a software component to it later (see Creating and Removing Third-Party Software Components).

You can create different versions of a registered third-party product. You have to specify exactly the same vendor and name for the product, but you have to specify version numbers accordingly.

As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 13, you can also use the Change and Transport System (CTS) to transport SLD data in your landscape.

For more information, see Performing Transports of SLD Data with CTS.
