Creating and Removing Third-Party Software Components 

Use

You can use this procedure to create a third-party software component and add it to a third-party product that you have created earlier (see Creating and Removing Third-Party Products).

You can create different versions of a registered third-party software component. You have to specify exactly the same vendor and name for the software component, 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.
