Copy User Specific ALV Display Variants

Does anyone know if it is possible to copy one user's ALV display variant (that has been saved as a user-specific variant) for a particular program (in this case VA05) to another user?

Hi Eric,
I'm a bit busy now and I cannot give you a complete solution, but sure can give you some c(l)ue. Just see if you have some success. If you do not, then i wuill get back to you later.
Refer to the follwoing SAP Tables and see if you have some luck.
==========================================================
LTDX --> Generic storage of display variants
LTDXD --> Default display variants
LTDXS --> SAP Default Display Variants
LTDXT --> Display variant texts
==========================================================
The idea is to try and manipulate the table entries for various users.

ALV Display Variant copying between programs

There is a report program say PROGRAM1 whose ALV display variants we want to copy to the ALV display variants of another program say PROGRAM2.
Both these program share the same ALV output structure design. My questions are
1) Can the display variants of an ALV be copied into another program.?
2) Can this be managed programatically?

Hi,
Try using LVC_VARIANT_SELECT and LVC_VARIANT_SAVE fms.
First call LVC_VARIANT_SELECT to read variant from the first program and then call LVC_VARIANT_SAVE to save it for the second program.
Take a look at report BCALV_GRID_11 for reference

Copying ALV Display Variants between different programs

Is there a way to copy the ALV Display Variants from one program to another? I am NOT referring to selection screen variants.
An SAP standard program was copied to a Z program. Some changes were made to the logic. The original SAP program has many (100+) ALV Display Variants. I do not want to manually re-create them. Is there a way to copy these from one program to another (without using a custom program to manipulate the tables)?
Thanks.
Norm

Hi norman,
even i was thinking the same while you passing the alv parameter is_variant, give the the program which is having 100 variants.
is_variant-REPORT = 'STANDARDPRG'.
this will import all varaints from it, but when you save any new one it will save in the same standard program.

Copying user specific reporting variants to other users

Hi,
Does anyone have experience in copying user saved variants to other users?
We'd like to create a few complex variants for reporting and then distribute them to all of our users.
Thanks!

Hi,
In reports input Screen you have this option,
In selection screen you can find, Save as a New varient, give some name and save , don't select Save as User Varient and save it.
Note: Check with the select Save as User Varient & Use as default Varient options.
Thanks

Problem in saving ALV display variant with filter

Hello,
I'm displaying an ALV grid with function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'. When I load a diplay variant and apply a filter, I could save new layout. But when I run the report without a display variant, then apply a filter to the result, I couldn't save filter option when saving display variant. In the "save" tab of save layout dialog, filter checkbox is not displayed. This happens in 4.6C version. Is it a bug or am i missing a point.
Thanks,
Mustafa.

Slm Burak,
'IT_FILTER' parameter is empty. Users apply a filter but couldn't save filtered list variant. When they run the report with saved display variant, list is displayed without filters.

Copy user-specific report layouts (table LTDX)

Hi,
We are implementing a "Single Sign On" solution and thus we need to
copy all the SAP users to adapt their names to "windows user names".
We copy all the user data and authorizations from SU01 but then we must
copy too all the other user-dependent things. One of them are user-
specific report layouts. We can copy the report variants because they
are not user-dependent but is there any way to copy the user-specific
layouts (table LTDX) from one user to another? Is there any transaction
or report for it?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Jon Larrucea

Hi,
Try This Program
report copy_layout.
data : lt_ltdx like ltdx occurs 0 with header line.
data : lt_ltdxt like ltdxt occurs 0 with header line.
parameters report like ltdx-report obligatory.
parameters report2 like ltdx-report obligatory.
"copy layout of report to report2.
start-of-selection.
select * into table lt_ltdx from ltdx
                where report = report.
select * into table lt_ltdxt from ltdxt
                where report = report.
loop at lt_ltdx.
    lt_ltdx-report = report2.
    modify ltdx from lt_ltdx..
endloop.
loop at lt_ltdxt.
    lt_ltdxt-report = report2.
    modify ltdxt from lt_ltdxt..
endloop.

ALV display Variant

hi,
I wrote a code for allowing the user to choose a display variant in the selection screen. The user chooses the required variant in the selection screen and views the ALV grid accordingly. This code is working fine in the development server but as it was transported to the quality server, somehow it has stopped working.
Any new variants that are created are displayed in the selection screeN F4 help, but somehow the variants are not working.
Could anyone suggest where i am going wrong?
Thanks,
Aviroop

try to comment it and see./
it will work..
you are telling that alv Fm set the default variant.
if you don't want then comment it, then what ever you choose in selection screen will come in the output otherwise defaut variant overrides the selected one.

Goto view maintanance transaction sm30 and edit user settings for users_ssm.
You can specify whether the user menu or the SAP menu are to be

MMBE - Copy text in ALV display

Hi all,
We are migrating to ECC 6.0 from 4.7. In ECC, transaction MMBE calls a new ALV display (we are aware that the old program can be called via MMBE_OLD).
We have many users who are used to selecting and copying multiple text fields (such as a list of batches) from the old MMBE using ctrl + Y then ctrl + C. In the new display we can select a single field, by simply clicking. However, we cannot find a way to select multiple text fields from the new display. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks & regards,
Mark

I feel a little silly answering my own question, but we found the solution:
In the Print Preview, Ctrl + Y & drag can be used to select.

If it's possible, from where shoud I read them?
Best regards.

what do you means with "managed"?
what do you think to do with the selected field?

Copy user-specific layout to another user ID

Does anybody know how to copy "user layout" information
from current user ID to new user ID?
At the end of every year, my company needs to give new user ID to all users
due to security reason. For example, User ID for Y2008 is "user2008",
and provide new user ID which is "user2009" for Y2009.
The user is the same employee.
Since he is the same person, of course he wish to keep using
his user-specific layout for Y2009 continuously.
So, I copied current user ID and create new user ID from SU01.
Then, I found out that "user layout(user-specific layout)" information on FB03
was NOT copied to new user ID.

Hello,
There is no need need to create a new user year.
You can extend the validity of the same user id year by year. For example, you have created a user "TRAINEE01", initially when you have created you give the validity period from 01.01.2008 to 31.12.2008. Once the year is being closed, extend the validity from 01.01.2009 to 31.12.2009. This way you can avoid lot of maintenance cost as there are no redundancy of user IDs.
There are many settings are user specific. In case if you create a new ID, the problem is that again he has to change all his / her settings. It would really cumbersome and they may not be knowing what changes made in the previous ID, as the system administrator might has stopped access to the old ID.

Ravi

User specific ALV Layout

In my ALV report - Go to Settings - Layout - Save. The User-Setting checkbox is grayed out. How do I turn it on.

Sorry for the late reply probably this git resolved already, but the solution is that this needs some authorization:
Object Class BC_Z Basis - Central Functions
    Authorization Obj. S_ALV_LAYO ALV Standard Layout
      Authorization Field ACTVT Activity
                                                                                23
You can get the info when checking transaction SU53 afteryou see the greyed out "user defined" flag even if the programming for i_save is set to 'X' or 'A'.
