Documentation

Definition

The following three package types exist:

• Structure packages
• Main packages
• Development packages

Main packages can be regarded as libraries designed to group functions semantically.

Main packages, with the exception of your own package interfaces and subpackages, cannot contain other repository objects. Subpackages, in turn, can be other main packages and the standard development packages.

Like all other package types, main packages are created and defined in the Package Builder. In addition, however, authorization for activity L0 (''All Functions') for authorization object S_DEVELOP is required.
