4.1 Setting up Delivery Units<br />

A delivery unit is a collection of packages that are to be transported together. You assign all the packages<br />

belonging to your application to the same delivery unit to ensure that they are transported consistently together<br />

within your system landscape. Each delivery unit has a unique identity.<br />

The identity of a delivery unit consists of two parts: a vendor name and a delivery-unit name. The combined ID<br />

ensures that delivery units from different vendors are easy to distinguish and follows a pattern that <strong>SAP</strong> uses for<br />

all kinds of software components.<br />

To create and manage delivery units you first need to maintain the identity of the vendor, with whom the delivery<br />

units are associated, and in whose namespace the packages that make up the delivery unit are stored. As part of<br />

the vendor ID maintenance process, you must perform the following tasks:<br />

1. Understand delivery units<br />

You must be familiar with the conventions that exist for delivery-unit names and understand the phases of the<br />

delivery-unit lifecycle.<br />

2. Maintain details of the vendor ID associated with a delivery unit.<br />

Delivery units are located in the namespace associated with the vendor who creates them and who manages<br />

the delivery-unit's lifecycle.<br />

3. Create a delivery unit.<br />

component that they plan to ship for use with <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong>. If you want to create a delivery unit, it is a prerequisite<br />

configuration. To maintain details of the delivery-unit vendor ID, perform the following steps:<br />

1. Start the <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong> studio.<br />

2. Switch to the Administration Console perspective.<br />

In the <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong> studio Navigator view choose Administration . Alternatively, use the menu path: Window ><br />

Open Perspective > Administration Console .<br />
