What is local package in SAP BC-DWB-TOO - Workbench Tools: Editors, Painters, Modelers?

SAP Term: local package

• Component: BC-DWB-TOO

• Component Name: Workbench Tools: Editors, Painters, Modelers

• Description: Package not transported to other systems The transport attributes of a package are determined by its assignment to a transport layer and a software component. Local packages are assigned to software component LOCAL but are not assigned to a transport layer. Temporary package $TMP, in particular, is a local package. Repository objects from local packages are not generally designed for productive purposes but solely for local developments as part of prototyping or testing. Unless configured otherwise in the system settings, the package check treats local packages in exactly the same way as non-local packages. Local packages are fundamentally different from packages that can be transported within a system landscape but are not designated for external delivery to customers. Packages of this type are assigned to software component HOME and to a transport layer. The Transport Organizer records all changes to these objects.
