Doubt regarding the namespace and release transfer

[Former Member]

When going through the Namespace section ,

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/a3/cc132914cf41e4a193c32627a87542/content.htm

i read this

You can use the same repository namespace in the different versions of a software component. However, you must use different repository namespaces in different software components. If this is not the case, the ES Builder displays a relevant warning message.

while i have read in Release transfer that while transfering object from one SWCV to another SWCV like for eg. one full Namespace from one Software Component to other Software Component , have to create a Namespace of same name in target Software Component.

url : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/61/fec608bc27654daadb20c1e6da7dd1/frameset.htm

So , i am all confused , can you all please help me in here .

Question : I want to transfer one namespace from a particular Software Component to another Software Component . Then do i hav to create a new namespace with different name or same as that of source namespace. But we cann't create a namespace with same name in two different Software Components . Is it right ??

Mind it i m talking between two different Software Components . Please

hi

thats right.

you cant use the same namespace for diferents SWC, but you can use the same namespace for other version of SWC for example

SWC: I_SAPBI_CUSTOMER 1.0

namespace: urn:example.com:pi:bi:customer

SWC: I_SAPBI_CUSTOMER 2.0

namespace: urn:example.com:pi:bi:customer

Thats OK

SWC: I_SAPBI_CUSTOMER 1.0

namespace: urn:example.com:pi:bi:customer

SWC: I_SAPHR_CUSTOMER 1.0

namespace: urn:example.com:pi:bi:customer

Thats Wrong becouse the SWC is differents

Hope it solve your issue.

Thanks

Hi Ji

Hi, Abhishek:

Correct me if I am wrong:

Release Transfer is only used for same SWC, from lower verion to higher version, it is not used for transfter between different SWC.

Correct myself:

Release Transfter can:

*From a current software component version to the subsequent version, once development in the current version is finished

*From a software component version to an older version of the same software component, for example to make a correction available in an older version.

*From a software component version to a version of another software component. For example, this may be necessary because you may want to stop objects of software components that are based on each other from being available in the sub-software component, and only make them available in the superior software component.

NameSpace is global unique.

But different versions of SWCV can hold same namespace, this is similar like higher version has backward compatibility.
