Creating the namespace for connector transport installation

Create the namespace for the connector before installing the connector transport files. This step is mandatory for SAP R/3 version 4.0, as some of the transports will fail if the namespace is not created.

Note:
You must create the connector's namespace prior to modifying one of the connector's ABAP objects in any SAP R/3 application version 3.x.

Creating the /CWLD/ namespace

  1. Open the Workbench Organizer: Tools window (transaction SE03).
  2. Expand the Administration menu and double-click on the Display/change namespaces option.
  3. Click the Display->Change button (Ctrl+F1).
  4. Click the Continue button to close the Information window.
  5. Click the New entries button (F5) and type /CWLD/ in the Namespace field.
  6. Select the Namespace role field, expand it (F4) to see options, and then select Recipient (C).
  7. Type CrossWorlds Namespace in the Short text field and type CrossWorlds in the Owner field. Click the save button (Ctrl+S). If your system is set up to track customizing changes, you will be prompted for a change request which will allow you to transport the namespace to another system.

Making the namespace available for modifications

ABAP objects in the connector's namespace cannot be modified until you make the Namespace available for modification. To update SAP 3.x delivered ABAP objects, you must have a repair license to modify the objects. Contact IBM technical support to obtain the license.

  1. Open the Workbench Organizer: Tools window (transaction SE03).
  2. Expand the Administration menu and double-click on the Display/change namespaces option.
  3. Click the Display->Change button (Ctrl+F1).
  4. Click the Continue button to close the Information window.
  5. Double-click on /CWLD/ and enter the repair license. Click the Save button (Ctrl+S).
  6. Click the Back button (F3) twice, expand the Administration menu and double-click on the Set system change option.
  7. Place a check mark in the Modifiable column of the Namespace row. Click the Save button (Ctrl+S).
