Activating an Object

Use

You use this procedure to activate your inactive objects, any selected objects, or just sub-components of an object (classes in ABAP Objects).

Prerequisites

Your object should be syntactically correct. Before activating an object, the system performs a syntax check of the entire object (main program, function group, class and so on). It is still possible to activate objects even if they contain errors. This can be useful if you want to create templates for coding generators.

Procedure

Select the relevant object in the object list.
Choose Activate from the context menu or the button with the quick info text Activate.
The list of inactive object appears. The selected object is highlighted.
Choose Continue to confirm your selection.
A message in the status bar informs you that the object has been successfully activated.

Note

If you want to activate an include used by multiple programs, you have to choose only one of the main programs from the list you are offered.

Result

After the activation the inactive version is deleted and a new runtime version is created.
