From the outside, a package looks like a "black box." A package makes its services available to other packages using interfaces. To make a package visible from the outside so that they can be used, you define package interfaces. Only those package elements that have been added to an interface can be used by other packages.
The package, for which the interface needs to be created, must exist and have an active version.
To create a package interface, you can go to the Create Interface screen through the following ways:
· By selecting the Package Interface radio button. You can then enter a name and choose Create.
· By right clicking on a Package in SE Object List. Then select Create->Development Coordination-Package Interfaces
· By choosing Add in the Package Interface tab of Package Builder
The system displays the Create Package Interface dialog box.
...
1. Enter a name and short description for the interface.
2. Select the Interfaces radio button
3. Select to confirm.
4. Save your entries.
5. Assign a transport request in the dialog box that appears,.
You can also come to the Dialog Box in Step 3 by right clicking on a Package and choose Create->Development Coordination->Package Interfaces
You have created an interface for the
package. Each interface you create is an independent transport object,
separate from the package.
You can also add package elements to the interface to make the elements in it
visible to other packages.
