Using Program RSO_AFTER_TRANSLATION

Texts are only translated for objects in the A or D versions. Texts of objects in the modified version (M) are not translated. Therefore, a specific step is required - otherwise, when you call the maintenance transactions in the target language, the system displays the old texts (if available) for these objects first.

This program will transfer the newly translated texts to the modified version (M) of the BI objects.

21. Execute the program RSO_AFTER_TRANSLATION with the following parameters:
