2. Prerequisites for installing IRMGLB and IRMEPM 60C language package

You should have Vistex Add-ons IRMGLB 60C and IRMEPM 60C installed on your SAP ERP System with support package level at either SP1 or SP2.

Note, if you have already installed the language packages for component IRMIPM (Incentives & Paybacks, or IP Module), then you can skip installing the IRMGLB component's language packages as they should already be installed in your system.



3. Preparing the IRMGLB & IRMEPM 60C language installation

  3.1. Download the required Language packages

Language packages names are:
SAPKLDE60C0IRMGLB.SAR  Vistex German Language pkg for IRMGLB 60C
SAPKLDE60C0IRMEPM.SAR  Vistex German Language pkg for IRMEPM 60C

SAPKLFR60C0IRMGLB.SAR  Vistex French Language pkg for IRMGLB60C
SAPKLFR60C0IRMEPM.SAR  Vistex French Language pkg for IRMEPM60C

SAPKLES60C0IRMGLB.SAR  Vistex Spanish Lang pkg for IRMGLB 60C
SAPKLES60C0IRMEPM.SAR  Vistex Spanish Lang pkg for IRMEPM 60C

SAPKLPT60C0IRMGLB.SAR  Vistex Portuguese Lang pkg for IRMGLB60C
    SAPKLPT60C0IRMEPM.SAR  Vistex Portuguese Lang pkg for IRMEPM60C
          
You are required to import both Vistex Add-ons (IRMGLB and IRMEPM) Language packages for each language.

    For example, if you want FRENCH language support; you have to
    import   the following two packages:
    SAPKLFR60C0IRMGLB.SAR Vistex French Language pkg for IRMGLB60C
    SAPKLFR60C0IRMEPM.SAR Vistex French Language pkg for IRMEPM60C


  3.2 Copy the downloaded Vistex language packages to transport
      directory <DIR_TRANS >  (Usually /usr/sap/trans/)

    The <DIR_TRANS > directory can be displayed after you execute the
    RSPFPAR report with input value DIR_TRANS.


  3.3 Unpack the Language Packages' SAR files
        -Log on as user
         <sid>adm  on UNIX
         <SID>OFR  on AS/400
         <SID>adm  on Windows
-Switch to the < DIR_TRANS > directory of your R/3 system
        -Switch to the higher-level <DIR_TRANS>directory.
        Unpack the language SAR archive files using the following
        command
          SAPCAR -xvf  <Language Package Name>   on UNIX
          SAPCAR -xvf  <Language Package Name>    on AS/400
          SAPCAR -xvf <Language Package Name>     on Windows
   The unpacked language package files will be extracted to the EPS/in     directory of your transport directory (usually
   /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in)



4. Executing the IRMGLB & IRMEPM 60C language installation

  4.1. You can use transaction SMLT to import extra language packages.

  4.2. Go to the language for which you want to install extra packages
       and choose Language  ' Import Package.

  4.3. In the next dialog box, enter the path (i.e. the EPS/in
       directory of your Transport directory, usually
       /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in) for the language packages. Choose Find
       Package(s) to search for available Vistex Language packages in
       the path you have entered. Alternatively, you can search for
       packages locally by choosing Load from Front End.

  4.4. The green, yellow and red lights next to the packages indicate
       whether you can import them. Click the lights to display extra          information. A green light indicates that all import conditions
       have been met; a yellow light indicates that there are warnings,
       and a red light indicates that the package cannot be imported
       because checks have detected errors.

  4.5. Select one or more language packages with green or yellow lights
       for import.

  4.6. After you have specified a start time and (optional) target
       server, choose Execute to import the language package(s) you
       have selected.

       The language transport is performed in three steps:
        a.  The language package is unpacked in a background job, after
            which the background job is ended.
        b.  The import tools R3trans and tp import the language data
            into the system.
        c.  Any required follow-up activities are performed in a new
            background job.

       All activities are logged in the action log.

  4.7. An import action is created for the appropriate language on the
       overview screen of transaction SMLT.  Monitor the language(s)
       import(s) and check the action log when imports are finished.

  4.8. If language import terminates for any technical reasons, you can
       restart it.


  Note: As described above, you can import multiple languages in
  parallel. Depending on the performance of your SAP system, a parallel
  import of multiple languages can place a heavier load than a
  sequential import.


  Please refer SAP online help on Language import for additional
  information.



5. Problems importing the language packages

  You may receive import/activation errors with either package.  The
  may happen because the packages contain more translated objects than
  what is contained in your system.  These errors can be safely
  ignored.
