Public parts not visible across SCs

Question

Hello,
in one product we have two software components: one for COMMON functionality and another for our SERVICE. In the COMMON SC we defined our exception classes and made them available as public parts. All steps until approval have been made and the new version of COMMON was imported for development for the SERVICE SC.
Unfortunately, we are not able to reference the public part for the exception classes in the SC "SERVICE". Any idea why the public parts are not visible accross the software components?
Regards,
Volker

Renjith,
I had similar problem and its fixed now. What you need to do is..
If you are adding an SC from Track A to Track B, then
1. Choose track B in CMS
2. Click on ¡§Landscape Configurator¡¨
3. Add the SC of track A into ¡§Required Software Components¡¨
4. In Track Data tab, select the SC in ¡§Software Components for Development¡¨ area.
5. Click ¡§View/Edit XML content..¡¨
6. Add the 2 lines in between ***
**<used-compartment>vendorname_TrackA_1</used-compartment>**
</dependencies>
<build-variants>
<build-variant name="default" required-for-activation="yes">
<variant-mappings>
<variant-mapping used-compartment="sap.com_SAP_JTECHS_1" used-variant-name="default"/>
<variant-mapping used-compartment="sap.com_SAP-JEE_1" used-variant-name="default"/>
<variant-mapping used-compartment="sap.com_SAP_BUILDT_1" used-variant-name="default"/>
**<variant-mapping used-compartment=" vendorname_TrackA_1" used-variant-name="default"/>**
</variant-mappings>
</build-variant>
</build-variants>
7. Click on ¡§Back¡¨
8. Save the track B.
9. Click on ¡§Transport Studio¡¨
10. Import each SC (there should be 4 listed. 3 from sap.com and 1 from track A) one at a time. First import sap.com¡¦s SCs.
Thanks,
