OTR Texts

Former Member — Mon, 13 May 2013 06:54:01 GMT

Hello Experts,

I have got a huge problem with OTR Texts.

In my system landscape , i have got two systems. Dev and Testing.

I have created OTR's in English language and have transported to Test system. They are appearing fine.

Now for the already created OTR's in Dev system, i have translated into Japanese and captured into one WB TR and also transported into Test system. Now in the Test system, even though the login language is Japanese, it is not determining the Japanese text.

Actually the OTR's are not moved only.

I have Used WAPP as Oblect Type and have given Package and all the other things correctly.

Please suggest where it is going wrong. I even tried transporting it twice thinking that some Transports might have missed. Still the same problem i am facing.

Thanks and Regards,

Nikhil Kulkarni

Hi Nikhil,

Please try out below options. This might be useful for you.

option 1-

● OTR short texts: object type LIMU SOTT

● OTR long texts: object type LIMU SOTU

You can, however, also transport all texts that belong to a package, independently of an object. To do this, create a transport request:

● For OTR short texts, use the object type R3TR SOTR

● For OTR long texts, use the object type R3TR SOTS

Enter the respective package name as the object name. The OTR texts are thus transported in their respective original language.

If, however, you only want to transport texts in a particular language, create a transport request as follows:

● For OTR short texts, use the object type LANG SOTR

● For OTR long texts, use the object type LANG SOTS

Enter the respective package name as the object name. In this case, the system asks you which language you want to transport the texts in.

2 nd Option:

Firstly before you start attempting to translate, you would want to make sure that the translation language is set. In order to do this, in transaction SE63 -> Utilities -> Settings

Now you have your language set up, so translation can begin.

1. Run Transaction SE63 - Under the header menu choose Translation -> ABAP Objects -> Short Texts. Often SE63_OTR does not work and gives an error "Coding is now obsolete. Use transaction SE63 instead"

2. This gives you a list of objects including OT - OTR (SOTR - OTR Short Texts)

Important Note: At times after transporting OTR's they do not display the changed text. In such cases, in Tcode SE38 > run program SOTR_DEFAULT_CONTEXT_FLAG_SET and then reset the OTR buffer using /$OTR

Hello Anamika Jain ,

Thanks a lot for your Quick and valuable response.

I found another way for solving this Problem. I.E. by running : SLXT transaction code.

Please find below link for SLXT Tcode;
