○ In the text boxes Version, Support Package Version, and Patch Version enter integer values only; the
combined values define the version of the delivery unit that is currently being developed. For
example, enter Version = 1, Support Package Version = 3, and Patch Version = 17 to specify that the
current version of your delivery unit is 1.3.17. The version number is transported to other systems
with every DU transport.
Note: The numbers you enter here refer to the application component that you are
developing; the numbers do not refer to the patch or service-pack level deployed on the SAP
HANA server.
○ The PPMS ID is the product ID used by the SAP Product and Production Management System
(PPMS).
Note: Customers and partners should leave the PPMS ID text box empty.
Maintaining the Delivery-Unit Vendor ID [page 35]
In SAP HANA, the vendor ID is used primarily to define the identity of the company developing a software
component that they plan to ship for use with SAP HANA. If you want to create a delivery unit, it is a
prerequisite to maintain a vendor ID in your system.
SAP HANA Delivery Unit Naming Conventions [page 36]
In SAP HANA, conventions and guidelines exist for the naming of delivery units (DU). The delivery unit is the
vehicle that lifecycle management (LCM) uses to ship one or more software components from SAP (or a
partner) to a customer. The DU is also the container you use to transport application content in your system
landscape.
4.2 Using SAP HANA Projects
Projects group together all the artifacts you need for a specific part of the application-development environment.
Before you can start the application-development workflow, you must create a project, which you use to group
together all your application-related artifacts. However, before you create a project, you must create a repository
workspace, which enables you to synchronize changes in local files with changes in the repository. As part of the
project-creation process, you perform the following tasks:
1. Create a development workspace.
The workspace is the link between the SAP HANA repository and your local filesystem, where you work on
project-related objects.
2. Create a project.
Create a new project for a particular application or package; you can use the project to collect in a convenient
place all your application-related artifacts.
3. Share a project.
Sharing a project enables you to ensure that changes you make to project-related files are visible to other
team members and applications. Shared projects are available for import by other members of the
application-development team.
