Activation Types
The following activation types exist:
Activation Type | Activation | Definition of Parameter Allocations for Input Parameter |
|---|---|---|
Use and activate generally | At RTP interface level | At RTP interface level |
Use and activate individually | At installation level | At installation level Parameter templates at RTP interface level or at installation level |
Use individually and activate generally | At RTP interface level and at installation level | At installation level Parameter templates at RTP interface level or at installation level |
Activation type "Use and Activate Generally"
The activation type Use and Activate Generally
(activation and definition for all installations) means that you have to activate the RTP components at RTP interface level and define the parameter allocations for the input parameters at RTP interface level.
Activation type "Use and Activate Individually"
The activation type Use and Activate Individually
(activation for individual installations) means that you cannot activate the RTP components at RTP interface level, but at installation level.
You have the following options for defining the parameter allocations for the input parameters:
You can define the parameter allocations at RTP interface level
You can define parameter templates at RTP interface level and then use these templates to define the parameter allocations for the input parameters at installation level.
Activation type "Use and Activate Generally"
The activation type "Use Individually and Activate Generally" (activation for all installations and for individual installations) means that you have to activate the RTP components at RTP interface level and at installation level.
You have the following options for defining the parameter allocations for the input parameters:
You can define the parameter allocations at RTP interface level
You can define parameter templates at RTP interface level and then use these templates to define the parameter allocations for the input parameters at installation level.
Example
You have activated component 1 at RTP interface level with activation type Use and Activate Generally
and assigned it priority 2. As a result, component 1 is valid for all installations to which this RTP interface is allocated.
You have made a contractual agreement with a number of customers regarding a special delivery within a certain period of time. You wantto map this agreement using component 2. To do this, activate component 2 with priority 1 at RTP interface level for the period in which the special delivery is to take place, and choose activation type Use Individually and Activate Generally
. Also activate component 2 at installation level of each individual customer for the validity period of the contract.
Then respective component is executed for each period and each installation based on the activation, the activation type, and the priority.
Although component 2 is activated at RTP interface level, it is only relevant for customers with installations in which component 2 is also activated.
