Creating an Application Component

In BW, InfoSources and InfoPackages are organized using a tree structure called application components. The application components are analogous to the InfoAreas for InfoCubes. Next, we create an application component.

BW adds a prefix of "Z" to the technical names of application components, unlike the naming system used for other BW objects.
