Activation Type

The activation type defines whether the table can be activated directly from the ABAP Dictionary or whether the runtime object of the table must first be generated with a C program. This entry is optional and only important for tables of the runtime environment.

The following entries are possible for the activation types:

If you enter 01 , the table cannot be activated from the ABAP Dictionary. The runtime object must be generated using a C program. The table can then be activated from the ABAP Dictionary. This activation type ensures that important system tables are not changed and activated directly.

Enter 02 if the structure of the table should also be used in C programs. However, the structure must be adjusted specially in a C program. There is an appropriate comment in the activation log for such tables.

Enter 10 if it is an initial table which is required before R3TRANS runs. Such tables must exist before all other tables when upgrading.

Enter 00 or nothing if the table should not be classified. The table can then be activated directly from the ABAP Dictionary.
