ABAP use case : move objects from Local package to custom package
Moving objects from a local package to a custom package in SAP ABAP involves several steps. Local packages are typically used for development and testing purposes, and custom packages are often used to organize and transport objects in a more controlled manner. Here's how you can move objects from a local package to a custom package:
1. **Log in to the SAP GUI**: Start by logging in to the SAP GUI with appropriate authorization.
2. **Open the ABAP Development Tools (SE80)**:
You can access the ABAP Development Tools by entering the transaction code `SE80` in the SAP GUI command field and pressing Enter.
3. **Select the Object Type**:
In the ABAP Development Tools, choose the appropriate object type for the objects you want to move. Common object types include reports (programs), function modules, classes, etc.
4. **Find the Object in the Local Package**:
Navigate to the local package where your objects are currently located. You can typically find your objects under the "Local Object" or "Development Object" folder, depending on your SAP system's configuration.
5. **Select the Object to Move**:
Right-click on the object you want to move (e.g., a program, function module, or class) and select "Change" or "Edit" to open the object editor.
6. **Change the Package Assignment**:
In the object editor, locate the package assignment or location field. This field specifies the current package of the object.
Change the package assignment from the local package to your custom package. You can do this by either typing in the custom package name or using the package search functionality to find and select your custom package.
7. **Save the Object**:
After changing the package assignment, save the object. You may need to activate it as well, depending on the object type.
8. **Transport the Object (if necessary)**:
If your custom package is part of a transport request system (common in SAP landscapes), you may need to add the object to a transport request associated with your custom package. This step is essential if you want to move the object to another SAP system or environment.
9. **Repeat for Other Objects**:
Repeat the above steps for all the objects you want to move from the local package to the custom package.
10. **Test and Confirm**:
Ensure that the objects are working correctly in their new custom package by testing them as needed.
11. **Transport (if necessary)**:
If you added objects to a transport request in step 8, you can now release and transport that request to move the objects to other systems or environments.
Please note that the specific steps and options may vary depending on your SAP system version and configuration. Additionally, it's essential to have the necessary authorization to perform these actions in your SAP environment. If you're unsure about any step or encounter issues, consult your SAP administrator or development team for guidance.
