Activating the BSP Extension

Prerequisites

You have either created a BSP extension or processed one that already exists.

Context

You use this standard function of the Workbench in order to put the entire BSP extension, including its elements, into the active version. If necessary, the system will generate the basis class ( CLG_* or ZCLG_*) again upon activation. This renewed generation always takes place during activation in the following cases:

  • If generation-relevant element data has been changed because, for example, you have created, deleted, or changed element attributes.

  • If a basis class for a particular element does not exist at all because, for example, it was deleted manually, or was not transported by mistake.

Procedure

  1. Choose the required BSP extension from the object list.
  2. Select the Activate function from the context menu or through the respective icon in the application toolbar.

    A list of your inactive objects is displayed. The selected BSP extension is marked.

  3. Confirm your selection by choosing Continue.

Results

When you activate, you create a runtime version of the BSP extension. If necessary, the system will also regenerate the element handler classes and your basis classes. Newly-created classes are automatically written to the same transport request as the BSP extension.

Now the active version of the BSP extension appears in the Tag Browser under the entry BSP Extensions. There it is assigned to the selection Transportable or Local, depending on the object catalog entry.
