Deactivating Records for Unshipped or Unwanted Languages on Windows

This task is a step in Process of Deleting Unshipped Languages from the S_LST_OF_VAL Table on Windows. You render unshipped or obsolete languages inactive.

To deactivate records for unshipped or unwanted languages on Windows

1. Connect to the database using a database client that allows you to run SQL interactively (either one of the native clients, or Siebel odbcsql), and execute the following query:

   update S_LST_OF_VAL set ACTIVE_FLG = 'N' 
   where LANG_ID not in ('ENU', 'lang_code1', ..., 'lang_codeN');
   

   Note: Be aware that lang_code* tokens must be replaced with actual codes of the languages that are going to be upgraded (such as FRA, DEU, and so on).
   Caution: You must not deactivate ENU records, even if you do not have the ENU language deployed in your environment. Some system records in S_LST_OF_VAL are ENU.

2. Choose commit (if your database client is not in auto-commit mode), and execute the following query:

   delete from S_LST_OF_VAL where ACTIVE_FLG = 'N';
   

3. Choose commit and exit the database client.
