Select the task of the generation.

On the initial screen of transaction SGEN you can select the task that suits the purpose of the
generation:

Generate all Objects of Selected Software Components

Choose this strategy if you want to generate the loads of all objects of certain software
components. This may be the case, for example, if your system has been re installed.
Here, the loads that are required for operations are not yet available and must be
regenerated. After selecting this task, the Selection by Software Components of
Generation Set screen appears. Here you are able to restrict the amount of objects to
be generated by selecting software components. Use the push buttons to select the
software components you require.
Regenerate After an SAP System Upgrade
After an upgrade, you have to regenerate the load of the ABAP objects in the system.
Here, the following are required:
- The run time of the generation process in transaction SGEN must be as short as
possible.
- The storage space required by the ABAP loads in the database must not be too large.
- The generation effort on the part of the user must be as small as possible.
The following generation set takes the above requirements into account. It consists of
all objects with loads that were available in your system before the upgrade (that is,
objects that you already used before the upgrade), and all objects that were redelivered
in the release interval between start release and target release of your upgrade. The
names of the objects that were generated before the upgrade were stored in
the REPLISTfile in the current directory of your system during the upgrade (profile
parameter DIR_HOME). After selecting this task, the Selection by Software
Components of Generation Set screen appears. Here you are able to restrict the
amount of objects to be generated by selecting software components. Use the
pushbuttons to select the software components you require.
Regenerate the Objects of the Last Run
This task is suitable, for example, in the following cases:
- The generation of objects of the generation set that was used in the previous run was
terminated and you want to regenerate the remaining objects.
- You want to regenerate all objects of the generation set that was used in the previous
run.
After selecting this task, the following two options are available to you:
- Resume
The generation set that was used in the previous run of transaction SGEN is used.
Only those objects that were not generated in the previous run or whose generation

was terminated due to a system error are generated.

- Regeneration
All objects of the generation set used in the previous run of transaction SGEN are
generated.
Regenerate Existing Loads
This task allows you to regenerate all ABAP loads and invalidated loads that exist in
your system, and to generate loads for objects of a Support Package queue. The
following options are available to you:
- Generate all Objects with Existing Load
- Generate Objects with Invalidated Load Only
The load of an object is invalidated if, since the time the load was generated, activated
changes were made to the object or to objects used by this object, such as includes or
tables. This may occur by importing a Support Package (transaction SPAM) or
a kernel patch. If you want to generate loads for objects of a Support Package queue,
start the task after importing the queue. The task determines the generation set using
the invalidated loads in the system. In contrast to the Generate objects of a transport
request task, this task also takes into account ABAP loads that were invalidated by
modified Dictionary objects.
Additional Note
You can also periodically schedule an automatic regeneration of invalidated loads
(every night, or at other times when the system load is low, for example). To do this,
schedule the RSGENINVLAS report for the relevant time and period. The report then
determines the invalidated loads for every type of host in your system at the specified
time, and regenerates them.
Generate Objects of a Transport Request
You can use this generation task to regenerate the ABAP load for all objects in a
transport request that can be generated. This task does not, however, take ABAP loads
into consideration that were invalidated by modified Dictionary objects. To include
these loads, choose Regenerate Existing Loads > Generate
Objects with Invalidated Load Only. After choosing this task, a screen appears that
allows you to search for the name of the transport request using the selection button,
or to specify it directly.
Generation of BSP Applications

This task enables you to generate BSP applications of selected software components.
Each Business Server Page is realized technically by an ABAP object class. When
BSP applications are generated, these classes and their ABAP loads are generated.
BSP applications are not included in the generation sets of the Generate All Objects
of Selected Software Components, Regenerate After an SAP System
Upgrade and Regenerate All Existing Loads tasks, since they are optional. You can
use this task to deal with these. After selecting this task, the Selection by Software
Components of Generation Set screen appears. Here you can restrict the amount of
BSP applications to be generated by selecting software components. Use the
pushbuttons to select the software components you require.
If you quit the generation of BSP applications before it has finished, or if the system
terminates generation, the Regenerate the Objects of the Last Run task allows
you to resume the generation.

Select the servers for parallel generation.

The generation is based on a method where the generation set is divided into small
subsets that are processed by parallel processes. Depending on resources, available
servers are included in the parallel processing, whereby multiple parallel processes
run on one server. From the Selection of Servers for Parallel Generation screen,
you can select the servers that are to be used in the parallel processing. Note that loads
depend on the machine type (MT) of a host. This means that it only makes sense to
parallel process the generation set of servers of the same machine type.
The default selection uses the server that you are logged on to. It corresponds to your logon
server and all servers on your system that have the same machine type. If you want to use the
default selection, choose Continue. If you want to exclude individual servers from the
generation, or if you want to generate the load for a particular machine type that is different to
that of the logon server, then use the pushbutton to select the corresponding servers and choose
Continue. After you have selected the servers, the system starts to automatically define the
generation set, and stores it in the database (GENSETC DB table). This can take several minutes.
