Hi phani

No SWC can exist without a Product. Here is a simple analogy

Microsoft Office is the product MS word is a SWC. Do you think MS word can exist without MS office?

In SLD you specify the product name for the landscape to know the existence of the product in it and the respective SWC and their associated systems(business and TEchincal)

Version is used to identify the features associated with it. A newer version might include new SWCs

In addition to the above replys, a product version is used to kep track of the functionality of it. Like, once a version is in production, and the client requests for a change, you would want to create a new version from the existing one and change the new version accordingly. This way, the previous version could be source controlled for future references.

This is all to have easy maintainability of the prodcut.

HI,

The classes of the SAP schema, the software components and their versions, and the software products and their versions are the basis for the component information

Product: Represents a collection of all versions of a product. A product is a unit that can be delivered, is visible to the customer, and that is installable and renewable. In an SAP environment, a product corresponds to an SAP technical component.

· Product Version: Represents a particular version of a product.

· Software Component: Represents a collection of all versions of a software component. Software components represent the reusable modules of a product. They can be upgraded or have patches installed.

· Software Component Version: Represents a particular version of a software component.

· Software Feature: Represents a particular aspect of the product functions. It is a logical link between Product Version and Software Component Version
