Hi,

While activation the system will check for any syntax errors and then a load version of the program is generated/saved in the memory.

You can compile before activation also.

hi,

activation does 3 things:

a)syntax check

b)compilation

c)creating a runtime object which is later interpreted during execution.

regs,

whenever u try to run the program

these are the steps that are followed

1) syntax check

2) compilation

3)activation

ACTIVATION -- is the step in which the runtime object is created i.E the most current version of the program (in which the recent changes are made) overlaps the prior ones and now this version wud be considered whenver need be.

hello vijay here is the answer briefly.

suppose in a server 2 users are working with the same program.

suppose if the person 1 has changed/added some thing in the program and after he saved without activating. now if the person2 open the program he can't see what ever you have added, because u r not activated.

so in order to globalise the program u need to activate the program.

reward if helpful.
