Configuration for S/4HANA JAVA

Use

You use the Internationalization (I18n) function in SAP NetWeaver Administrator to manage I18n configuration on AS Java. You synchronize all SAP-specific data used by I18n from the backend system (i.e. the ABAP stack). You check whether the data which is available on AS Java matches the data which is available in the ABAP Platform. As a result, formatting and other internationalization issues shall be identical for end users in an environment with different technologies.

To use this function, in SAP NetWeaver Administrator choose Start of the navigation pathConfiguration Management Next navigation step Infrastructure Next navigation step InternationalizationEnd of the navigation path.

Alternatively, you can use the Administrator quick link: /nwa/internationalization.

Integration

There are two options to perform the synchronization.

In case a backend is not connected, the data can also be provided by a locale file. The file can be generated in an ABAP system using program SCP_EXPORT_I18N and read with this Administrator's import functionality.

Features

Currently there are four tab strips showing the synchronized data:
  • Languages
  • Time Zones
  • Islamic Dates
  • Country Format mapping
You will find the Read from backend button on each tap strip which can be used to reopen the connection and read the data from the backend. Alternatively you can synchronize data with a file using the Read from File button and delete synchronization using the Delete Configuration button.
