What is source load in SAP (BC-ABA - ABAP Runtime Environment)?

SAP Term: source load

• Component: BC-ABA

• Component Name: ABAP Runtime Environment

• Description: Intermediate stage between a repository object and its actual load. Source loads contain the relatively stable parts of the real load. When the real load is generated again after modifications have been made to dependencies, these parts can be used directly without the entire load needing to be regenerated. Source loads are important mainly during package checks, with package source loads being distinguished from interface source loads.

  To use source load, users must first create a source code file in an external editor. This file must then be uploaded into the SAP system using the ABAP Workbench. Once the file is uploaded, users can then use the source code to create programs and applications within the SAP system.
