Namespaces

A namespace organizes data types in the PCo installation environment, for example, from a business perspective. The combination of namespace and data type represents a unique data type definition.

Data types delivered by SAP and integrated firmly in PCo are located in a namespace identified by an empty string "". Moreover, namespaces that start with "sap." – this is not case sensitive – are reserved for SAP. However, customer-specific data types must be organized in customer-specific namespaces, for example, ns1 or ns2.
