What happens once you activate a Data Package?

When you activate a Data Package in the context of SAP, it typically means that you are preparing the data products included in that package for use in your system. Activation alone does not make these products directly usable; instead, installation is required to integrate them fully into your environment.

This process ensures that all components are correctly set up, dependencies are resolved, and the necessary data structures are in place. Once the installation is complete, you can then utilize the data products effectively within your SAP system.

The other scenarios described, such as using the data products without any installation or having only baseline data available, do not accurately represent the typical behavior associated with activating a Data Package. Additionally, automatic sharing of products with all users is not a standard feature simply tied to activation; sharing would require further configuration and permissions management.
