InfoObject Naming ConventionsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

As is the case for other objects in BW, the customer namespace A-Z is also reserved for InfoObjects.

When you create an InfoObject, the name you give it has to begin with a letter. BW Content InfoObjects start with 0.

For more information about namespaces, see Namespaces for BW Objects.

Integration

If you change an InfoObject in the SAP namespace, your modified InfoObject is not overwritten immediately when you install a new release, and your changes remain in place for the time being.

BW Content InfoObjects are initially delivered in the D version. If you use the BW Content InfoObject, it is activated. If you change the activated InfoObject, a new M version is generated. When this M version is activated, it overwrites the previous active version.

Caution

Keep in mind that when you are determining naming conventions for InfoObjects, the length of an InfoObject is restricted to 60 characters. Included here is the concatenated value if other characteristics are compounded to other InfoObjects. See also Tab Page: Compounding.
