Hi,

When you generate a program, the program is saved but will only be available in that client. But when we activate the program, it will be available in all the clients. There will be consistency in all the clients when a program is activated.

Hope this answers ur question.

Reward if helpful.

Hi,

remember, Activation always includes generation. Refer to the following link in the library as well -http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d1/801a6e454211d189710000e8322d00/frameset.htm

Activating a Program

When you activate a program, the system generates an active version from the inactive version. The activation process checks for syntax errors in your program, then generates the active version. Finally, it generates a load version and deletes the corresponding entry from your list of inactive objects.

To activate a program, choose or Program ® Activate.

When you activate the program, the activation does not apply to all of the program components. Screens and GUI statuses are independent transport objects, and have to be activated separately.

Generating a Program

When you generate a program, the system creates a new load version from the active version. Unlike activation, this operation only generates a new load version.

To generate the program, choose Program ® Generate.

Please reward points if it helps

Thanks
