language supplementation

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

I have a doubt.

Which client should I apply the language supplementation 000 or production client? Is there any post-activities after running SMLT transaction? Should I execute the process with DDIC id?

thanks,

Má

As Juan already said, supplementation is client specific, we usually perform supplementation in 000 and in production client (with other user than DDIC).

Before supplementation in each client I suggest to implement language part of support packages first (if you have not done it already)

SMLT -> Language -> Special actions -> Import support packages
