Hi Sridhar,

a software component is a package of software with its own support package stack (i.e. SAP_BASIS or SAP_APPL). Each Software component has n versions. It usually starts with 1.0 and is open. The Software component and its versions must be created or imported in the SLD.

The namespace is a unique identifier for all related repository objects. That means all your design objects like mappings, data types etc. will reside under a namespace

You can add more than one namespaces to a softeare component version.

Hope that makes it clear

sridar,

SCV is the mainfolder and namespace is used to identify the interface objects u create. You can have mutiple namespace inside a SCV. You can consider namesapce as a logical representation of ur integration.

if you read that link there is a statement >>>

<i>After you have imported a software component version, create one or more namespaces for it to separate the design objects within the software component versions into more manageable development units.</i>

So finally a simple explanation is that Soft. component is a Folder and the namespaces are sub-folders.
