Hi Soniya,

Package is like a container for your transport requests. They are used to differentiate between the transport requests of different modules eg: one package for BW which contains all the requests for BW, other one for R/3 that contains R/3 requests. This is designed and implemented from the basis team. So, ask the basis team as to which package you should assign your BW transports to and enter that package name there. You can see the packages in transaction SE80. Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards

Hi:

Package name is not to connect to BW. That is used for Transporting your daa sources from R/3 DEV --> R/3 QAS.

To move Data Sources to BW, you call it Replication. Once you Activate Data Sources in R/3, go to BW, RSA1, Source Systems, select R/3 Source System, Replicate Data Sources. This will bring them to BW.

You have to do the same in BW QAS AFTER you transport R/3 Data SOurces from R/3 DEV --> R/3 QAS.

Coming to Packages in R/3, its just a grouping to move transports within R/3 System. Because the data sources are BW related, we usually have a package called ZBW. This is just a name, doesn't mean it moved them to BW.
