Procedure documentationImporting and Running Mass Activities Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Mass activities can be started and monitored from within SAP CPS like any other job chain. You can specify parameters that are to override the current parameter set inside your SAP System, you can copy a parameter record, which is a subset of the parameter set in SAP, and override certain parameters. Parameter sets cannot be imported into SAP CPS. Before you run a Mass Activity, a parameter set must be activated for it.

To be able to import Mass Activities, you need to load the ISU transport files, which are available in the   Configuration → Software   section of the user interface.
