Defining Priorities and Default Servers (SAP Library - Setting Up and Coordinating Translation (BC-DOC-TTL))

Defining Priorities and Default Servers

Use

The Settings II tab enables you to define the following for each language that is created as a target language in transaction SLWA:

Priority: this controls the sequence in which the individual jobs per target language run during the evaluation. An evaluation cannot run if these priorities are not defined.

Server: you can define a default background server for each language, so that the evaluation jobs for this target language always run on this server. If your translation system has multiple servers, you can use this function to distribute the individual background jobs, of which the evaluation consists, evenly over several servers.

Prerequisites

Before you can define the priorities and servers for a language, you need to create it as a target language first in transaction SLWA. For more information, see Setting Up the Target Language.

Procedure

Call up transaction SLWB

Choose the tab title Settings II.

Select a target language from the table and choose Change priority.

Select one of the seven priorities (they range from Extremely high to Extremely low).

If you want to define the default background server for a language, select a target language and choose Change server.
Select one of the servers from the dialog box that appears.
Repeat this procedure for all target languages displayed in this table.

Result

The system displays the priorities and the servers you maintained in the Settings II screen for each language.

The system takes the priorities into account when the evaluation program runs. The evaluation jobs run first for the target language(s) with the priority Extremely high, then for the languages with the priority Very high, and so on.

If you defined default servers, the evaluation jobs for a specific target language run on the server you defined here.
