For a Dev Key, please check the table DEVACCESS (SAP transaction SE16) for your user name to be found.
The SAP user needs a Developer Key (from your SAP Basis) in the following two cases:
-
If you want to create new Function Modules or
-
Update present Function Modules (e.g. after a major release of the Performer Suite)
-
Onwards SAP Basis Release >= 7.53 (table=CVERS /COMPONENT=SAP_BASIS), we no longer need to check for a developer key (when we create the function modules).
-
As of SAP Basis 7.53, the authorization object S_DEVELOP is required.
-
BW/4HANA 2.0 and certain releases of S/4 are then based on an SAP Basis >= 7.53.
If your SAP User cannot be found in the table DEVACCESS, but you received a Dev Key from your SAP basis, do the following:
-
Go to SAP transaction SE80 and start creating a program.
-
Proceed with the process until the SAP GUI asks you to enter your Developer Key.
-
Now, the check of the Function Modules will be successful (no need to restart the Performer Suite).
