Function documentation InfoObject Naming Conventions  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

As is the case for other objects in BI, 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. BI Content InfoObjects start with 0.

For more information about namespaces, see Namespaces for BI 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.

BI Content InfoObjects are initially delivered in the D version. If you use the BI 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

When you are determining naming conventions for InfoObjects, keep in mind that the length of an InfoObject is restricted to 60 characters. If additional characteristics are compounded to other InfoObjects, the length is the concatenated value. See also Tab Page: Compounding.
