Prerequisites

You have integrated the terms you want to create as alias texts in accordance with the OTR Directives) into your BSP layout.

Procedure

You can create OTR alias texts in the following ways:

Creating OTR alias text by double-clicking from the BSP application

  2. Confirm the prompt asking you if the text should be created.

    3. The screen below appears:

    This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

    If you have not yet specified a packet name for the OTR alias in your BSP, the system automatically extends the prefix in the page as well as in the OTR.

  3. Enter the required text up to a maximum length of 255 characters.
  4. Enter the length of the text in the Maximum Length field.

    5. Note

    Always consider translation needs by entering a longer length than the text itself. If you do not enter a value in this field, the system stores the OTR alias in its current length.

  5. To save the text choose Enter or Save.
  6. If you do not want to change the text any more, you can also choose Release at this point.

    7. If you release the text it will be released for translation. You cannot change released texts.

  7. If the OTR text contains abbreviations or anything else that make translation difficult, once you have pressed the Release button, the system sends a further popup where you can enter explanations or comments.

Enter a comment and choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

Creating OTR alias text using the BSP application menu

  1. In your BSP choose Goto ® OTR ® OTR Browser.

    2. On the following screen first of all the texts of the packet you are currently editing are displayed.
    The packet     SOTR_VOCABULARY_BASIC contains standard texts for you to use. You can use these texts across all applications. All other texts on the other hand should always be assigned to one packet only.

  2. Select a text from the existing texts, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text, to change an existing text, or choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text to create a new text in your packet.
  3. Continue as described in the section above.

Creating OTR alias text using transaction SOTR_EDIT

  1. Call transaction SOTR_EDIT.
  2. Enter the language you want to create the text in and the alias name.
  3. Choose Create.
  4. On the next screen enter the package name, the alias name, the object type (for BSP applications this is always WAPP) and the alias text and then choose Save.

After saving you will find in the Concept field a unique GUID under which you will find your text in the OTR.

Notes on the Transport

An OTR text not assigned to a local or private packet is included in a transportable change request when the text is created. This ensures that new or changed texts are also transported into the subsequent systems. The connection to the Change & Transport System is thus guaranteed.
