Documentation

Definition

Specifies the business environment in which the transformation application is implemented.

Use

If the application supports multiple contexts, you can carry out mapping extensions depending on the context. The context has been integrated in the Customizing of the application. In the case of service implementations, multiple contexts are normally not supported. Then only the predefined context "DEFAULT" is available.

Dependencies

The prerequisite for use of multiple contexts is that the application has explicitly released this function. If this has not happened, only a single context with the predefined key "DEFAULT" is supported. In that case, you get an error message if you attempt to create extensions with other contexts.
