Before Release 3.0, only the texts in the logon language became active
during activation. If texts in a foreign language were also to be activated,
it was necessary to repeat the activation in this foreign language. To do
this, you had to log on to the system again in this language.
Now one activation procedure under any installed logon
language is sufficient. This applies both to transactions SEU and SE11 and to
background activation using the mass activation program (report RDDMASG0). All
object types in the ABAP Dictionary are affected by this new functionality
(domains, data elements, tables, views, matchcode objects/matchcode IDs and
lock objects).
When translating the short texts and long texts of the data elements using transaction SE63, the data elements are not activated. Nevertheless, the texts are written to the text table DD04T in 'A' version. Therefore, the translation is not immediately displayed on the screens. To make the corresponding text changes visible in the system, the affected data elements must be activated. One activation run is now also sufficient here.
