What is namespace in SAP BC-CTS - Change & Transport System?

SAP Term: namespace

• Component: BC-CTS

• Component Name: Change & Transport System

• Description: An ID assigned exclusively by SAP that allows SAP customers, SAP partners and SAP to develop SAP components and products using SAP applications, without the danger of naming conflicts. Naming conflicts can occur during transports to external SAP Systems, or when importing external products into your own systems. You assign objects to a namespace in the ABAP Workbench by placing the namespace prefix in front of the object name. The namespace ID begins and ends with a delimiter "/", and can have up to 10 characters.

• Key Concepts: 
  A namespace is a unique identifier used in the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) to differentiate between different objects. It is used to ensure that objects are not confused with each other when they are transported from one system to another. The namespace is composed of two parts: the package name and the object name. The package name is a unique identifier for the object, while the object name is the actual name of the object. 
  
  How to use it: 
  When creating an object in the CTS, you must assign it a namespace. This can be done by selecting a package name and an object name. The package name should be unique and descriptive, while the object name should be descriptive but not too long. Once you have assigned a namespace to an object, it cannot be changed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating namespaces, it is important to make sure that they are descriptive and easy to remember. This will make it easier to find objects in the CTS when you need them. It is also important to make sure that all namespaces are unique, as this will prevent confusion when transporting objects from one system to another.
