Creating Object Lists (SAP Library - Setting Up and Coordinating Translation (BC-DOC-TTL))

Creating Object Lists

Use

An object list should contain all objects relevant for translation, and you can create object lists according to a variety of criteria.

Object lists serve as the basis for the evaluation run, and resulting creation of worklists and statistics. Only the objects contained in the object list appear in the worklists and statistics.

You can create object lists according to the following criteria:

For the entire system
For a selection of packages and object types
For a generic set of transport requests from a specific date range.
For a single transport request

Prerequisites

You need to successfully execute an initial run before you create an object list. For more information, see Scheduling an Initial Run.

If you want to create an object list according to a generic set of transport requests, you need to maintain the required information under Settings I. For more information, see Defining the Transports for Transport Evaluations.

If you want to create an object list on the basis of a single transport request, then you need to create a transport request that contains all translation-relevant objects, and ensure that it is available in this system.

Procedure

Call up transaction SLWB.

Choose the tab title Object lists.

Choose Create.

The dialog box Object List Creation appears.

Enter a description for the object list for reference purposes in the field Description.

If you want to create an object list according to some/all object groups and some/all packages, proceed as follows under System evaluation:

Choose No object types and in the screen that appears, select the object types that you want to include in the object list. You can select individual types or entire object groups by double-clicking the object type or object group, and saving your entries. When you return to the dialog box, the button Object types will display the number of object types you have selected.

Choose No packages to select the packages that you want to include in the object list. The system displays the Package Selection screen. You can now proceed as described in Selecting Packages, and save your entries. When you return to the dialog box, the button Packages will display the number of packages you have selected.

If you want to create an object list according to one or more transport requests, proceed as follows under Transport evaluation:

To create an object list on the basis of a single transport request, choose F4 on the No evaluation field, and select Single transport from the dialog box that appears. You now return to the Object List Creation dialog box, where you can now enter the name of the transport request that you wish to scan in the Parameter field.
To create an object list on the basis of a generic selection of transport requests (as defined under Settings I), choose F4 on the No evaluation field, and Transport evaluation by settings from the dialog box that appears. You now return to the Object List Creation dialog box, where you can now specify a date range for the transport requests you wish to scan (for example, all transport requests from the last month).

If you want the evaluation program to run automatically, immediately after the object list has been created, activate the checkbox Start evaluation in next step.

The dialog box Worklist Number and Explanatory Text appears in which you can now create the evaluation. For more information on how to create the evaluation, see Creating an Evaluation Run. As soon as the object run finishes, the evaluation run starts automatically.

Choose Continue. You can now schedule the object list run as a background job.

Result

The system creates an object list according to the criteria you specified. As soon as the object run is finished, you can schedule an evaluation run to analyze the objects in this object list. For more information, see Creating an Evaluation Run.
