Setting Up a Namespace for DevelopmentLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

As soon as you have reserved the namespace at SAP and obtained the namespace license key for your SAP systems you can enter the namespace. When you do this, the validity of the license is checked.

Prerequisites

Use the maintenance view V_TRNSPACE to edit the namespaces. To do this, you need the authorization S_CTS_ADMIN.

Procedure

To edit the namespaces, proceed as follows:

  1. Go to the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09).
  2. Choose Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Transport Organizer Tools End of the navigation path.
  3. Go to Administration and choose Display/Change Namespaces.

  4. The screen Display View "Repository Namespaces": Overview appears. Only those namespaces relevant to you appear in this maintenance view.

  5. To edit the namespaces, chooseStart of the navigation path Table View Next navigation step Display Next navigation step Change End of the navigation path.
  6. Confirm the information.
  7. To enter new namespaces, choose New Entries.

    The detail maintenance screen appears.

  8. Fill out the fields as follows. Save your entries each time.
    • Namespace

      Enter the namespace ID that you have reserved. It begins and ends with a slash ("/") and has a maximum length of 10 characters.

    • Namespace Role

      Keep the default "P" if you want to develop in this namespace. The role of the namespace can have one of two values:

    • "P" (producer)

      Originals are created when you create objects. Choose this setting in the development system of the namespace owner to enable development work if there is a valid development license key.

    • "C" (recipient)

      Choose this setting if the namespace (namespace entry and the objects in the namespace) have been imported into this system. You can use the functions installed with the import. You cannot develop in this namespace in the SAP system. You can make repairs if you have a valid repair license key . When you create objects, the original system is set to "SAP".

    • Develop.license

      Enter the 20-character development license key given to you by SAP for your development system. You cannot transfer development license keys to other SAP systems. Instead you need a new key for each installation number.

    • Repair license

      If you enter the 20-character repair license key given to you by SAP for your namespace in your development system, then it is imported into all follow-on systems, unlike the development license key.

      In follow-on systems, you can allow repairs by setting the namespace role to "C".

      Repair license keys are not installation-specific. The namespace owner can deliver the keys or pass them on for solving errors if there are any serious problems.

      If you do not want your repair license key to be delivered to a third-party, delete the repair license key before the delivery export.

    • SSCR popup

      This flag is only relevant to SAP namespaces (repairs require an object license key). You cannot set this flag in a customer system.

    • SAP Standard

      This flag is only relevant to SAP namespaces (standard SAP applications handle objects in a standard SAP namespace differently to other namespaces). You cannot set this flag in a customer system.

    • Only gen. objs

      This flag is only relevant to SAP namespaces (namespace reserved for applications that generate objects). You cannot set this flag in a customer system.

    • Last Changed By

      You cannot fill out the Last Changed By field yourself. It is automatically filled with the name of the user who is making the license entry.

    • Date

      You cannot fill out the Date field yourself. It is automatically filled with date on which the namespace is entered.

    • Short Text

      Enter a short text for the namespace. You can include the following information:

      • Purpose of the namespace
      • the product developed on the basis of SAP applications
      • the SAP components developed in this namespace
    • Owner

      Enter the namespace owner registered by SAP.

Result

Your changes are recorded in a change request. When you transport this request into all follow-on systems, the namespace will also be transported. If there is a repair license, this is also transported. However, the development license is not transported.
