STEP 17(OPTIONAL): Best Practices content activation for any solution will
populate the client currency as USD by default. In case you want to have a
different client currency, you should change the currency before activation
starts.You should not change client currency once the first solution in the
client is activated. The procedure is as follows:
Enter tCode /N/SMB/BBI -> Building Block Builder, Menu Installation

Activate.
If a message pops up “To activate the project, the client settings need to
be changed to eCATT and CATT allowed” this would come up if you didn’t
follow the step 14 for SCC4, please choose Yes.
The logs shown from SECATT will match the records shown in
spreadsheet. Select the tab that applies USV3 or DEV3 and delete the
other one.

COLUMN A – There are 445 records for full activation of USV3 (427 for
DEV3). In case this is the first activation then log numbers will start from 1
on row 446 and Column A numbers will match. Activation starts with first log
entry is with Title = /SMB99/SU3_O009_B32. But in case this is second or
third client activation, replace the number in cell A446 (shaded green) with
starting number of this activation for TITLE=/SMB99/SU3_O009_B32 in
SECATT log.
COLUMN C shows Duration of each activity and COLUMN D shows the
time remaining including time for current activity.
COLUMN F – Cell F446 enter the time that you started the activation. The
column F will be revised to show time that each activity will occur. This is
good if you didn’t lose time with system waiting and also system processes
at same speed as reference system. To get better estimate of times –
refresh the SECATT log, find the current activity number and Title. From the
logs you can find start time of current activity. Enter the start time of the
current activity in cell F446 (shaded green) in time format 16:36.
Spreadsheet column F will be revised. The advantage of this is you can find
the time that next stop will be reached based on rows shaded in red.
OPTIONAL – What if the activity currently running is has long duration and
is in progress – yes the duration of activities over 10 min are shown in blue.
The No of test cases are indicated together with Title in brackets (). From
the number of test cases completed so far you can calculate the remaining
time for this activity.
