Packages in SE80

HI,
I am new to SAP, Can any body tell me how to see all packages in se80 in ECC 6.0 In 4.7 and 5.0 I can see packages and objects easily, but in 6.0 I am unable to see the list.
Thanks and regards,
M.Madhusudan Rao.

Hi,
Since ECC 6.0 you must use the SAP Solution Manager. I think it's not possible anymore to install a support package without SAP Solution Manager. With ECC 5.0 it was possible!
SAP wants now that you manage all your SAP systems via SAP Solution Manager.
PACKAGE CREATION IN SE11:
You can do it from SE11 also.
Take a table in SE11.
Click on other objects button on application tool bar. Shorcut is SHIFT+F5.
Take development Coordibnation tab. Tick the radio button Package.
You can see a create button on the tool bar. Use it!
Cheers,

Create Package in SE80/SE21 for ABAP Proxy

Hello Experts,
I am trying to create an ABAP Proxy based on my Service Interface. Before I do that I need to create a package using SE80/SE21. But, I am unable to create a package because it keeps asking me for a superpackage and there are no values in the drop down. Could you please point me to a forum thread, a blog or a tutorial where they have instruction on creating a package in PI 7.1.
Thanks for you help,
Mayur

Reg. creation of a package using SE80

Hi Friends,
Can u please tell me how to create a package inorder to save all the objects whenever it asks for transport request.
I know we hav to use SE80 but donno the procedure to create a package...
Plese help me out in this
Points will be surely awarded

Guys,
In simple words, Package is just like a Folder in Windows...we create different folders for different files.
In SAP, we create a package to store whatever custom development we do and save them under a Package.
Use HOME as Software components which is for Custom developments
Do not select Main package checkbox, and Package not extendable.
In Transport Attributes section -
Transport layer determines whether the object stored under this package can be trasnported to other systems or not.
Usually this layer is created by basis system and has next system. e.g. QA/Test/Integration system.
So, based on this you can select the Transport layer.
Hope this helps...

Why created package with SE80 can't be found in Transport Connection?

We want to transport our custom InfoCubes from Developement environment to Test environment:
RSA1 -> Transport Connection, select an InfoCube we created and drag it over to the right frame, group it by "In Dataflow Before and Afterwards". The Package column shows it's attached to $TMP that we would have to change it to a custom package that it can be transported over. We click the Package picture icon with a pencil trying to change the package attached from $TMP to a custom one, but can't find any custom package we created with SE80 from here. Could someone tell us why?
Thanks

hey AHP,
Yeh, if I run rsdcube and follow the menu you specified, I can assign the InfoCube to the custom package I created with SE80. I wonder why it's to work in this way? If clicking the Package picture icon with pencil in Transport Connection doesn't work or successfully to bring up the correct custom package we created, then why SAP has this stupid picture icon over there to mislead our developers?
You asked me how we created the custom package, we created them with SE80.
BTW, someone says that's BASIS work to create package to do the transports in their companies, how about your company? You don't have to create custom package and just assign the objects to the package BASIS creates for you?
Also someone says the ideal transport strategy is to group by "Necessary" other than "Dataflow Before and Afterwards", how do you think?
Thanks

Best Practice: Usage of the ABAP Packages Concept?

Hi SDN folks,
I've just started on a new project - I have significant ABAP development experience (15 years+) - but one thing that I have never seen used correctly is the Package concept in ABAP - for any of the projects that I have worked on.
I would like to define some best practices - about when we should create packages - and about how they should be structured.
My understanding of the package concept is that they allow you to bundle all of the related objects of a piece of development work together. In previous projects - and almost every project I have ever worked on - we just have packages ZBASIS, ZMM, ZSD, ZFI and so on. But this to me is a very crude usage of packages, and really it seems that we have not moved on passed the 4.6 usage of the old development class concept - and it means that packages do not really add much value.
I read in the SAP PRESS Next Generation ABAP book (Thomas Ljung, Rich Hellman) (I only have the 1st edition) - that we should use packages for defining separation of concern for an application. So it seems there they are recommending that for each and every application we write - we define at the least 3 packages - one for Model, one for Controller and one for view based objects. It occurs to me that following this approach will lead to a tremendous number of packages over the life cycle of an implementation, which could potentially lead to confusion - and so also add little value. Is this really the best practice approach? Has anyone tried this approach across a full blown implementation?
As we are starting a new implementation - we will be running with 7 EHP2 and I would really like to get the most out of the functionality that is provided. I wonder what others have for experience in the definition of packages.
One possible usage occurs to me that you could define the packages as a mirror image of the application business object class hierarchy (see below). But perhaps this is overcomplicating their usage - and would lead to issues later in terms of transportation conflicts etc.:
                                      ZSD
                                        |
                ZSOrder    ZDelivery   ZBillingDoc
Does anyone have any good recommendations for the usage of the ABAP Package concept - from real life project experience?
All contributions are most welcome - although please refrain from sending links on how to create packages in SE80
Kind Regards,
Julian

Hi Julian,
I have struggled with the same questions you are addressing. On a previous project we tried to model based on packages, but during the course of the project we encountered some problems that grew overtime. The main problems were:
1. It is hard to enforce rules on package assignments
2. With multiple developers on the project and limited time we didn't have time to review package assignment
3. Devopelers would click away warnings that an object was already part of another project and just continue
4. After go-live the maintenance partner didn't care.
So, my experience is is that it is a nice feature, but only from a high level design point of view. In real life it will get messy and above all, it doesn't add much value to the development. On my neew assignment we are just working with packages based on functional area and that works just fine.

A question about creating packages as local objects in ABAP

Hi,
I have a question about creating packages with SE80. Whenever I create a new package it is assigned a new transport request. After that, I can create new programs inside this package, and each time I can choose whether to assign the new program to a transport request or just save it as a local object (I often do this for test programs that I don't transport and I remove them once my tests have been done).
What I would like to ask is that, is it possible to create a package (and not just programs inside a given package) as a local object? so that every new object created in this package will be considered as a local object?
Thanks in advane,
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh

Please also check the F1 help for the package field e.g. in SE80, SAP standard is in range A-S and U-X, namespaces start with "/", so you should be save. I am using the T namespace for temporary stuff since a long time and did not have a problem so far.

Thank you very much for this remark, I checked F1 help for the package field and in fact as you mentioned these ranges are for local objects.
Once again, thank you very much for your help.

How to transfer whole Package from CRM to R/3

hello
i have to transfer our WebApplication (complete package in SE80) from CRM 4.0 to R/3 4.7. There are a lot of htm sites, structures, z-tables, data elements, and many more things that are inside this WebApplication. I'm not sure but i'm thinking that it doesn't work with a transport request, but maybe there is a possibility to download e.g. a structure from CRM and to upload (CREATE) it in R/3 with an (existing) ABAP programm.
Maybe this possibility also exist's for htm-sites and
z-tables ....
many thanks for help

Hello Astrit,
why shouldn't it be possible to transport? CRM 4.0 and R/3 4.7 are running both on WebAS 6.20. So try a Transport. It should work.

Screen Variant Package

Hi friends
i am creating screen variant for transaction VA01 and hiding some field but at the end system is asking package name. where i m giving a package creating by ABAPer but system is not accepting it and asking standard package
Kindly suggest me what to do now because i want to hide some field in transaction va01
Regards
Shambhu

Hi,
Are you changing standard sap screen variants?
If you are creating new screen variant, I am sure system will not ask you enter standard package.
you should enter customer package (Y or Z). or else you can $tmp.
If you want to create new package, goto SE80, select the package from drop down list.
Enter package name e.g ZZVA and press enter, system will ask you to create object, press yes.

Chandra

Proxy Activity terminated because errors occurred during package checks

Hi,
When i am activating the client proxy class in ECC system after assigning it to the package,i am getting the below error.With local object($TMP) its working fine. I tried creating package using se80 as well as from sm30 using view V_TDEVC also and the package is created with no restrictions also .Kindly suggest what needs to be done to fix the issue.
Activity terminated because errors occurred during package checks
Message no. EU839
Diagnosis
Dictionary objects can only be activated if the package check is swithch ed on - provided they do not contain any package check errors.
You will receive a list of the package check errors if you execute the package check within the appropriate dictionary tool. To do this, use the respective menu entry in the first menu of theen; corresponding dictionary tool.
Procedure
Keep note of the setting for the package check (system-wide property) in your SAP System; this setting defines in which form the package concept is to be applied.
In particular, check whether the package in which the incorrect dictionary object is located has sufficient usage applications. Then, if necessary, create the missing usage applications.
As soon as the package check errors have been removed, you must again activate the dictionary object.
Thnx,
Goutham

Why the "Change Package" in Transport Connection shows "Request/Tasks"?

We want to transport our custom InfoCubes from Developement environment to Test environment:
RSA1 -> Transport Connection, select an InfoCube we created and drag it over to the right frame, group it by "In Dataflow Before and Afterwards". The Package column shows it's attached to $TMP that we would have to change it to a custom package that it can be transported over. We click the Package picture icon with a pencil trying to change the package attached from $TMP to a custom one, but can't find any custom package we created with SE80 from here and instead, in this window, the first column is "Request/Task" and the values under this column are all checkboxes. The last column is "Object Name". I wonder if the "Change Package" picture icon only lists all the request/task for the selected transport objects selected other than the packages we expect? Weird!
Thanks

hi Kevin,
the 'normal' way has been explained by Roberto and Siggi.
if you still want change package screen in transport connection, it will go to package change/object directory entry screen after you mark the 'request/task' and click 'V'
Re: Why created package with SE80 can't be found in Transport Connection?

Transport of class OK in SE24 & TADIR of destination, won't appear in SE80

Hello everybody!
We have a NW 7.0 environment (CRM 5.0).
I have this problem.
I have created a transport request for a whole custom class (Z...) belonging to a custom package (Z...).
I have released the transport and the SYSADM has successfully brought the class in the QA system.
I can see the class (with all the methods, attributes, etc) both in the SE24 transaction and in the TADIR table of the QA env. The properties say it is in the right package.
Notwithstanding, if I go to test environment and look for the class in the custom Package with SE80, <u>I cannot find the class</u>!
A refresh, re-log, etc. has not proved successful.
What can have been wrong in the export / import?
Thank you very much
Riccardo
Let me please add that the TADIR table entry is identical to to the class is identical to that of the Development, but in the test it has a "version" populated column with "0.0"

In SE80, try right-click on the package name (Z..) and select context menu option "Other Functions-->Rebuild Object List"
The display here uses index like the SAP "Where Used" functionality to find objects - this can get corrupted. There is program SAPRSEUC which can be run to rebuild indexes for customer objects - check OSS notes for usage of this.

Basically the same advice as Rich - but with my 56K Modem connection I didn't see his while writing mine.

Deleting of a Package

Hi,
i'm trying to delete a package, in SE80 you can see that its empty, but the system still says that the package contains objects, maybe in (released) transports, which are not transported anyhow. How can i find out which objects in which transport/request are still the objects belonging to that package?

Hi,
Goto Utilities -> Versions -> Version Management.
If the program is in a transport request which is not released you can find it under 'Version(s) in the development database:'. Otherwise in 'Version(s) in the version database:'.
Regards

Transport package creation

Hi,
what are the settings that i have to specify at the time of creation of package in se80 in BI system.

Just enter a package name and press enter. A message box will prompt you stating there is no package by that name do you want to create.
