Creating a Local List using a .csv FileLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

  • You must be defined as a coordinator for all languages ****
  • You must have authorization object LOLI Create or Delete Local Lists with value 01 Create Allowed or 02 Create and Delete Allowed.
  • A suitable .csv file is required.

Procedure

  1. Call transaction LXE_MASTER.
  2. Choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Local Lists End of the navigation path.

    The Local Lists dialog box appears.

  3. In the Create Local Lists group box, enter a suitable name and description in the Name and Description fields.

    Your entry in the Name field becomes part of the technical name of the local list.

    Your entry in the Description field is displayed when you manage local lists at the top of the Local Lists dialog box, and when you assign a local list for translation. Translators see the description when they select a local list in transaction SE63 to call up an on-the-fly worklist.

  4. If necessary, change the default delimiter ; to a different delimiter such as ,
  5. If you want to replace an existing local list, select the Replace Existing List (Else Update List) checkbox.

    If you want to update an existing local list, do not select the checkbox.

    If you want to create a new local list, the checkbox is irrelevant.

  6. In the Import Objects From .csv File group box, select the appropriate radio button, depending on how you created the .csv file.
    • Object Type + Object Name
    • Target Language + Object Type + Object Name

      This option generates a language-specific local list, so you are advised to include the target language or languages in the Description field.

      If the .csv file contains more than one target language, all of the objects are written to a single local list. Nevertheless, objects in the local list with target language nlNL (for example) can only be called up in an on-the-fly worklist for target language nlNL, not for any other target languages in the system.

    • Transport Object (Program ID + Object + Object Name)
  7. Choose File and select the .csv file.

    A message informs you if the local list has been created or not.

Results

  • A local list is created using a .csv file. To display the local list, in the Manage Local Lists group box, choose Start of the navigation path Select Lists Next navigation step Edit Selection End of the navigation path.
  • If you generated the local list according to object type + object name, it is displayed under the header GENE Generic List.
  • If you generated the local list according to target language + object type + object name, it is displayed under the header MIXL Multiple Languages List.
  • If you generated the local list according to transport object (program ID + object + object name), it is displayed under the header SYST Transport Objects List.
  • Irrespective of how you generated the local list, the text that you entered in the Description field is displayed to the right of the technical name of the local list. The number of objects in the local list is displayed to the left of its technical name.

You can now assign the local list for translation, or use it to call up an on-the-fly worklist or create an object list.
