Selecting Packages (SAP Library - Setting Up and Coordinating Translation (BC-DOC-TTL))

Selecting Packages

Use

You need to select packages in order to perform the following activities in a translation system:

Assigning a specific set of packages to a translator
Locking a specific set of packages
Displaying the statistics for a specific set of packages
Running an evaluation for a specific set of packages

This topic explains how you can select the packages you need for one of the above purposes, by using the Package Selection screen.

Procedure

Call up transaction SLWA.

Select the target language under the tab title Target Language.

Choose the tab title Packages.

You can now select the scope of packages that you require under Selection Basis. The following options are available:

To select all packages available in the system, choose the Total pushbutton.
To select all packages that still have status "Open" (in other words, packages that are neither assigned nor locked), choose the Open button.
To select all packages that are locked for your target language, choose the Locked pushbutton.
To select all packages already assigned for translation, choose the Translated pushbutton.

To select all packages assigned to one specific translator, choose the Translator pushbutton. You can select the translator you require from the dialog box that appears by double-clicking the translator's user name.

To select a generic list of packages (e.g. all packages whose name starts with Z), choose Generic and enter the initial character(s) of the packages you require in the dialog box that appears. You can also use this option to select an individual package, by entering its entire name.

To select packages that belong to a specific package list, choose the Package list pushbutton. You can select the package list you require from the dialog box that appears by double-clicking the name of the package list.

To select packages which were created in a specific system (e.g. all packages originating from the current Basis development system), choose the Orig. system pushbutton. You can enter the name of the system in the dialog box that appears.

If you have a list of packages saved locally in a file on your hard drive, you can upload it to this selection screen, in order to see which packages in this list are assigned to more than one translator. To do this, choose Import, locate the file on your hard drive, then choose Open. For more information, see Importing and Exporting Files for Package Assignment.

The system displays the number of selected packages in the field under Selection Basis. If you want to assign/lock/display statistics/run an evaluation for all these packages, choose the Select All icon under Selection.

If you want to further restrict the scope of your selection, you have the following options:

Choose Table display. The system displays the packages you have already selected in alphabetical order. You can now select the packages you need, and then choose Save.
Choose Hierarchy display. The system displays the packages you have already selected according to the application hierarchy. You can now select the packages from a specific application by double clicking the packages or application node(s) you require, for example, and then choosing Save.

Result

Now you have the number of selected packages displayed in the field under Selection.

If you are selecting packages to assign or lock, you can now choose Assign, Lock, or Lock globally. For more information, see:
