functionality in the current activation is shown here. Possible values

but not transported.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

The <ZK>Activation Options</> screen area contains the following
options:
<ZK>Overwrite Data</>:
<ZK>Overwrite All Data</>: All activation data is written. All existing
data records in the system are overwritten.
<ZK>Do Not Overwrite Default Values</>: In existing data records, only

for activating BC Sets which have already been activated, and in which
mostly 'Fix' values have been changed.
<ZK>Select Activation Mode</>:
<ZK>Standard Mode</>: The system makes the same checks for all values
from standard customizing objects, as are made in manual maintenance.
Other customizing objects are written in the tables without checks, as
in a transport. We recommend the standard mode for activating BC Sets.
<ZK>Expert Mode</>: This mode requires additional authorization. If you
have this authorization, you can use this mode to avoid the checks for
standard customizing objects in standard mode.

the <ZK>Messages</> screen area. The columns contain the following

available if the messages have a serious error (Stop sign).
<ZK>Activation option information</>: Display this text.
<ZK>Cancel with Activation Log</>: The activation is cancelled, without
writing data into the system tables or in transport requests. The
system creates a log of the activation so far, i.e. an activation log
including the messages displayed in the dialog box, and their detail
information.
<ZK>Cancel</>: The activation is cancelled, without writing data into
the system tables or in transport requests. The system creates no
activation log.
