Block change in variants.

Hello Experts,
I want to block the existing report variants to be changed in the production enviornment, though the variants should be defined in the dev enviornment. I have partially achieved that. The "Save" button on the selection screen is now disabled based on the on the current system, so user cannot choose any variant and then click on SAVE and neither can be define the new variants.But the existing problem : Goto SE38-> Choose variants from the radio buttons options-> click on Change->Choose an existing variant - > click on change. Here i am not able to block the SAVE button.
I tried using the screen variant, but the issue here is, i am want the screen variant to work only for my programs and not all. So i am facing difficulties in attaching that screen variant to the program.
Please help.I hope i have explained everything clearly.

Hello Andrea,
This solves only a part of the problem, ie. existing variants not being changed by any other person. On the reports selection screen also, i am able to disable to "SAVE" button, so new varaints cannot also be created from there.
But there is also a part which remains:-> goto SE38 - > Select Variants radio button - > click on create -> enter variant name ->click on create.
Bingo the user still has the option of creating a new variant, still not a full proof solution. Please advise how can this be diabled. I do not want any new variants being created for the existing programs.
Best Regards,
Ashish.

How to change protected variants created by users that no longer exist

There are several older variants for which background jobs are scheduled for daily prcessing. These variants were created and protected by uses that no longer exist in SAP.
How to unprotect and change these variants to reflect new requirements.

Hi Anam
1. Execute tcode VARCH and enter the program and variant name and make the changes, if the system allows you to do so.
2. Check with the basis/security team if they can extend the validity and reset the password for the old ids.
3. If the above doesnt work, you will need to copy the variants manually
Moving forward, when you create/change jobs, request the basis/security team to create common ids like OTCADM, P2PADM, etc. Ensure that all the variants and jobs are created/changed using this common id. Basis/Security team can controll by opening and closing the ADM account on request from project team and the usage can be recorded for tracking.
To check the jobs that use a known variant, use tables TBTCP, TBTCO.

Pricing Condition is Duplicating on Changing the Variants in Quotation !

Hi,
I have a requirement, where the Pricing Condition (Custom Pricing Condition Specific to the Variant Pricing) is duplicating on changing the Variants in Quotation to be stopped or deleted. I suppose, the variant pricing condition should not be newly added to the pricing table each time, there is a change in the material variants as chosen by the business/user with the Quotation. Instead, I assume, the existing cost for the variant pricing condition should update each time, when the variant material is changed by the user. I am not sure, whether this issue can be controlled in the configuration? or Can I control the occurrence of the duplicate pricing condition inside any user exit by deleting the duplicate condition, but retaining the newly added ( Recently added pricing table entry for that condition)? I am not sure, what are the possibilities to fix this issue? Appreciate if you could provide me with a suitable solution.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks,
Kannan

Hello Kannan.
I have the Same Problem. do you have a solution for the same?
i have written a pricing condition at the characteristic level using pricing Factors. however when i change the characteristic. it is duplicating the condition instead of refreshing it.

How to multiplex the block change tracking file?

Hi,
I have a question to change block tracking feture.
The normal way to enable block change tracking would be:
ALTER DATABASE ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING
USING FILE 'mydir/change_track.f'
REUSE;
What if my harddrive is gone?
Is there anyway to define more than one destinitaion like for archive log files?

The difference is... archive log files can contain irreplaceable data.
With Block Change Tracking the data is not irreplaceable , just run full RMAN backup and then regen the file. <- IMHO

Pmnt block changed when amount split use - how this funct. set?

Hi experts,
when i use bookmark - amount split in tcode mir7 bookmark Payment changed, a specialy pmnt block changed. I set Maintain Terms of Payment with Default value for the payment blocking key = N. But when i fill amount split payment blocking key change to released for payment. What this function logic and where this one can i set? I want that pmnt block dont change when function amount split ude.
thnx very much for your answers
Laco

Hi,
thnx for your answerd.
Day limit was not set in T052, and items block dont use in mir7.
Use only header pmnt block, and use amount split to in header. Payment term fill in bookmark Amount split when this use of course.
I try this in many other customers what have SAP ECC 6.0 and tehe result is same. When i fill header invoice in mir7 in bookmark Paymant pmnt block proposed N - block workflow approval and than i go to bookmark Amount split and pliting amont and fill paymant terms and than i back to bookmark Paymant and pmnt block change - released for payment. Why?! What this governed? PO in this time dont fill.
thanx very much.

Enable Block Change Tracking in 11gr2

Hi Team,
If my database file system is in ASM..Can I enable blk change tracking in local filesystem?
Or IS it better to do in ASM? Any new features in 11gr2?
Regards,
Manohar

Do you plan running DUPLICATE against that DB?
If yes, you should place the Block Change Tracking File in a location that would enable you to effectively deal with this nasty bug:
"Bug 10193846 - RMAN duplicate fails with ORA-19755 when BCT file is not accessible [ID 10193846.8]"
Also, If you plan to use DUPLICATE, you should “name” your Block Change Tracking File, rather than going with the system name.
This advice applied only for 11gR2 versions that are affected by the bug.

What is the button to change the variant in alv?

Hi guys,
can u tell me is there any button to change the variant in alv?. what is tanscation varient in report , hw it will used.

Hi
The ALV Grid Control is a tool with which you can output non-hierarchical lists in a
standardized format. The list data is displayed as a table on the screen.
The ALV Grid Control offers a range of interactive standard list functions that users need
frequently (find, sort, filter, calculate totals and subtotals, print, print preview, send list,
export list (in different formats), and so on. These functions are implemented in the
proxy object class. You as the programmer have the possibility to turn off functions not
needed. In most cases the implementations of the standard functions provided by the
control are sufficient. However, if required, you can adjust these implementations to
meet application-specific needs.
You can add self-defined functions to the toolbar, if necessary.
The ALV Grid Control allows users to adjust the layout of lists to meet their individual
requirements (for example, they can swap columns, hide columns, set filters for the
data to be displayed, calculate totals, and so on). The settings (list customizing) made
by a specific user are called a display variant. Display variants can be saved on a userspecific
or on a global basis. If such display variants exist for a list, they can be offered
to the user for selection. If a display variant is set as the default variant, the associated
list is always displayed based on the settings of this variant.
<b>2. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE</b>
3. Use of Field Catalog is to determines the technical properties & add formating information of the column.
6. all the definition of internal table, structure, constants are declared in a type-pool called SLIS.
7.fieldcat-fieldname
fieldcat-ref_fieldname
fieldcat-tabname
fieldcat-seltext_m
5. Form user_command using r_ucomm like sy-ucomm rs_selfield type slis_selfield.
Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
The commonly used ALV functions used for this purpose are;
<b>1. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET
2. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4
3. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE
4. REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET
5. REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
6. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
7. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
8. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
9. REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT</b>
Purpose of the above Functions are differ not all the functions are required in all the ALV Report.
But either no.7 or No.8 is there in the Program.
How you call this function in your report?
After completion of all the data fetching from the database and append this data into an Internal Table. say I_ITAB.
Then use follwing function module.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
EXPORTING
I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = 'Prog.name'
I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'I_ITAB'
I_DEFAULT = 'X'
I_SAVE = 'A'
TABLES
T_OUTTAB = I_ITAB.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
WRITE: 'SY-SUBRC: ', SY-SUBRC .
ENDIF.
ENDFORM. " GET_FINAL_DATA
The object F_IT_ALV has a field, the activity ACTVT, which can
contain four permitted values: 01, 02, 03 and 70. Each of the
activities 01, 02 and 70 controls the availability of particular
functions (in the menu and the toolbar) of the ALV line item list:
a) 01: "Settings -> Display variant -> Save..."
b) 02: "Settings -> Display variant -> Current..." and
"Settings -> Display variant -> Current header rows "
c) 70: "Settings -> Display variant -> Administration..."
Activity 03 corresponds to the minimum authorization, which is the
most restricted one: The user can only select layouts which have
been configured already. In particular, all of the other functions
named above are inactive with activity 03.
Now if you want to permit a user to change the column selection and
the headers as well as to save the layout thus created, for example,
but if you do not want to permit the user to administrate the
layouts, you grant him or her the authorization for activities 01
and 02.

Hi Anita,

Service Requests - Assignment Block "Change History"

How can I add a new field ("Z" fields) in the assignment block "Change History" and this new field has an historial (new value and old value)?
Is in customizing or views or class implementation?
Thanks for your respond.
Best regards,

Hi Vishal
I'll explain the requirement:
When we modify an extended field of Assignment Block "Service Request Details" (Component: SRQM_INCIDENT_H - view: IncidentHeaderEF) its change doesn't appear in the Assignment Block "Change History" (Component: BTCHIST - view: HdrOVWindow), we need to appear this change in the Assignment Block "Change History" with old and new value as well as "changed by".
Thanks for your respond.

Ora-00439 enable block change tracing

Hi,
I am attempt to use the feature ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING and cannot obtain succefully. When I issue the statement:
sql> alter database enable block change tracking;
I get the error:
ORA-00439 - feature not enable
My estructure is: Red Rat 4 and Oracle 10.2.0.1
Samebody can help me?

I suspect the message means that the feature is only available with the Enterprise Edition. Check the documentation for the standard edition.
If the feature is available with the standard edition then use the full syntax where you specifiy where you want the block change tracking file written to and see if that makes a difference. I believe the default with 10g is to go to the database flashback directory. If you did not configure one then that could be a problem. If you used the full syntax and do have a flashback area but that was not where you tried to place the file I would try defaulting it.
I lean to the feature not being available in your version.
