Questions:

What does these phase do?

CHECKS > PREP_GENCHECKS

1. NTACT_CHK

2. ACTREF_CHK

and what are they checking in each tables.

Is there a workaround to speed it up?

Hello Prabhat,

NTACT_CHK :Checks the consistency of the nametab entries

ACTREF_CHK: Checks whether activation errors might occur during the installation

Thanks & Regards,

Ashish

Hi Prabhat,

On your queries

-->Basically in this particular phase , various actions and checks performed on Nametab(active/inactive) in systems

Mostly these actions are performed by tool 'tp' with various arguments and also with the help of 'r3trans'.

As a workaround to increase the performance, your kernel tools(r3trans,tp,dbsl,etc) should be updated to the latest. Have these tools updated in

/SUM/abap/exe directory.
