● In the Activate dialog, you can select the Bypass validation checkbox in order to skip validation before
activation to improve the activation time. For example, if you have imported a number of objects and
want to activate them without spending time on validation.
Note: During delivery unit import, full server side activation is enabled, activation of objects after import is
done. In this case all the imported objects are activated (moved to active table), even if there are errors in
activated or impacted objects. But the objects for which activation results in error are considered as
broken or inconsistent objects which means that the current runtime representation of these objects is
not in sync with the active design time version. The broken objects are shown in the Navigator with an ‘x’
along side.
Note: The behavior of activation job is as follows:
● The status (completed, completed with warnings, and completed with errors) of the activation job
indicates whether the activation of the objects is successful or failed.
● In case of failure that is when the status is completed with errors, the process is rolled back. This
means, even if there are individual objects successfully activated, since the activation job is rolled
back, none of the objects are activated.
● Even in case of failure, the job log shows success in the summary part. This is to help the user to
indicate that those objects were successfully activated without any issues. But because the entire job
is a failure, none of the objects are activated and all of them are rolled back.
● When you open the job log, the summary list shows only those objects that are submitted for
activation. It does not list all the affected objects. They are listed only in detail section.
