Updating SAP ABAP Systems on UNIX and Linux: SAP MaxDB

Excluding Customer-Specific Languages

Context

To avoid that the update procedure aborts, exclude the following languages from the update:

  • Custom languages

  • Languages provided by SAP that are not supported anymore for the target release

Procedure

  1. Log on to the SAP system.
  2. Choose transaction SE16 and open table T002.
  3. Check the table for the affected languages that are mentioned at the beginning. Note that custom languages start with "Z" in column LAISO ("2-Character SAP Language Code").
  4. Note down the associated language keys in column SPRAS ("Language Key"), such as "Z".
  5. Open table T002C and check column SPRAS for the noted language keys.
  6. Check if they are marked with an "X" in column LAINST (Language Can Be Installed). If so, remove the "X".
  7. Check whether the affected languages are also listed in table TLSY7. If so, remove their entries.
