The name of the complete package namespace hierarchy (for example, "aa.bb.cc.zz" including dots) must not
be more than 190 characters long. To avoid problems, we recommend you restrict the length of the package
namespace to well under the 190-character limit.
4.3.2 Defining Repository Package Privileges
In the SAP HANA repository, you can set package authorizations for a specific user or for a role. Authorizations
that are assigned to a repository package are implicitly assigned to all sub-packages, too. You can also specify if
the assigned user authorizations can be passed on to other users.
To set user (or role) authorizations for repository packages, perform the following steps:
1. In the SAP HANA studio, open the Navigator view of the Modeler perspective.
2. In the Navigator view, expand the Security Roles/Users node for the system hosting the repository that
contains the packages you want to grant access to.
You can also define roles via source files; roles defined in this way can be assigned to a delivery unit and
transported to other systems.
3. Double click the user (or role) to whom you want to assign authorizations.
4. Open the Package Privileges tab page.
5. Choose [+] to add one or more packages. Press and hold the Ctrl key to select multiple packages.
6. In the Select Repository Package dialog, use all or part of the package name to locate the repository package
that you want to authorize access to.
7. Select one or more repository packages that you want to authorize access to; the selected packages appear
in the Package Privileges tab page.
8. Select the packages to which you want authorize access and, in the Privileges for screen page, check the
required privileges, for example:
a) REPO.READ
Read access to the selected package and design-time objects (both native and imported)
b) REPO.EDIT_NATIVE_OBJECTS
Authorization to modify design-time objects in packages originating in the system the user is working in
c) REPO.ACTIVATE_NATIVE_OBJECTS
Authorization to activate/reactivate design-time objects in packages originating in the system the user is
working in
d) REPO.MAINTAIN_NATIVE_PACKAGES
Authorization to update or delete native packages, or create sub-packages of packages originating in the
system in which the user is working
4.3.3 Creating a Package
In SAP HANA, a package contains a selection of repository objects. You assemble a collection of packages into a
delivery unit, which you can use to transport the repository objects between SAP HANA systems.
You can use packages to manage the various elements of your application development project. To create a
project, perform the following steps:
1. In the SAP HANA studio, start the Modeler perspective.
2. In the New screen area of the Quick Launch tab page, choose Package and choose Create....
3. Maintain the package details.
