Activate Function

You can use this tool to activate a function without having to access the modeling environment.

The following fields are available:

Fields Description
Environment This is a 3-digit alphanumeric ID that is permanently assigned to the environment. Use the F4 help to display all environments configured in the system and client. This field is used as a filter to specify an environment
Version This is a 4-digit alphanumeric ID that is permanently assigned to the environment. You can use this field as a filter to reduce the number of records so that the system checks only within the specified version of the environment.
Function The identifier of the function where the data to be activated is located. Use the F4 help to display all the functions configured in the specified environment and version.
Run Type Allows you to select which run type to perform. You can choose the following options:

  • Activation (ACT)

    Generates the procedure of the environment/function in real time

  • Activation Simulation (ACT_SIMU)

    Runs the tool in test mode. The system issues configuration errors upfront without generating its procedure.
Show Model Flow Diagram Allows you to view the Model Flow Diagram of the environment.
Active necessary func. only Activates all executable function, data sources and process templates. This can only be used when you activate an environment.
