What is package dependency in SAP BC-DWB-TOO-PAK - Package Tools?

SAP Term: package dependency

• Component: BC-DWB-TOO-PAK

• Component Name: Package Tools

• Description: A package must normally declare its dependency on the packages whose repository objects it uses. Visible objects of a server package cannot be used by a client package unless a dependency has been declared by means of the dependency control list in the client package itself and inall of its superpackages up to the level at which the superpackage in question and the server package or the superpackage of the server package are parallel packages. Superpackages that use the visible repository objects in their subpackages are an exception to this rule. These superpackages do not define dependencies on their subpackages. This means that a package can always use all visible repository objects of its subpackages without declaring dependency.

• Key Concepts: 
  Package dependency is a concept in SAP software that refers to the relationship between two packages. A package is a collection of related objects, such as programs, tables, and function modules. When one package depends on another, it means that the objects in the dependent package cannot be used without the objects in the other package. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use package dependency, you must first identify which packages are dependent on each other. This can be done by looking at the dependencies listed in the package tools component (BC-DWB-TOO-PAK). Once you have identified the dependent packages, you can then use them together in order to access all of the objects contained within them. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using package dependency, it is important to keep track of which packages are dependent on each other. This will help ensure that all of the necessary objects are available when needed. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the packages as this could affect their dependencies.
