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.

You have to create a NOT User specific layout. This will be available for all the users depending on your security authorization. You cannot move a user specific layout from one id to another

How to set user specific Layout for executing IW38/IW39 report.
Dear Experts,
We have 10 users seperatly, For executing IW38/39 transaction they have maintained seperate layouts for executing the reports. While saving layout they have saved the layout as 'user specific' Now some body has chage the settings.
After changing the setting all are getting same layout.
Please suggest how to set user specific layout. When user enter the IW38/39 report by default he should get his layout.
Thanks in advance.Create Variant using SHD0 and with Group and assign to particular user's
Here is the steps
Creating a Variant Group
1. Open transaction SHD0, enter the transaction code, and press enter.
2. Choose the Standard Variants tab page, and then the sub tab page Variant Groups, and enter a group name, such as GROUP_GEN
3. Choose Create. Enter a short text on the Maintain Variant Group window that appears and save the variant group.
Assigning Users
Once you have created the variant group and the relevant transaction variants with screen variants, you now need to assign users to the variant group as follows
1. Return to the Standard Variants tab page, Variant Groups sub tab page.
2. Enter the name of a user that you want to assign to this variant group, and choose Assign. A message that this user was successfully assigned to the variant group appears in the status bar. If you choose a where-used list for users, this user is displayed in the user list.
3. However, for the screen variants of the variant group that you created above to be displayed for the user, you first need to select Set Proposal. The user is assigned to the group and the associated transactions are started with the corresponding variants only once you choose the Set Proposal function.
You can use this procedure of user assignment for all other users that you want to add to the variant group
Hope this helps.
Thanks

ALV report - copy layout to another user
Hello,
I have a question about ALV reports.
In ALV we have option to select layout and save it by user-specific.
How to copy this layout to another user?
Is there some function/Bapi?
Thanks in advance,
MichalHi Michael,
Here are the steps I documented for managing this procedure:
First Step is to READ the Layout into the Program
The parameters for the layout can be found in table LTDX
Goto SE37 and enter: LT_DBDATA_READ_FROM_LTDX
When (READ) you will input information for the following parameters:
Report Name
Handle
Log Group
User
Variant
Type
An example is shown below:
<screen shots didn't load in my response> email if you'd like the document with screen shots>
Execute.
Now our next step is to WRITE the information from the program into table: LTDX
While at the Function Builder Screen enter the new function module: LT_DBDATA_WRITE_TO_LTDX
When you (WRITE) you will input information for the following parameters:
Report Name
Handle
Log Group
User
Variant
Type
When completed, your input screen for (WRITE) should look like the screen below:
<screen shots didn't load in my response> email if you'd like the document with screen shots>
IMPORTANT When entering information for IS_VARKEY, remember to use the u201Cnew useru201D ID
When entering information for IS_VARIANT, remember to enter information exactly as found in table LTDX and remember that the parameter: DEPENDVARS may be needed to complete your entry
Now Execute the Function Module. When completed go to table: LTDX and confirm that your new entry has been added.
Pre Checklist:
1.) Capture entries (users) you want to copy from table: LTDX
2.) Make sure you have access to execute function modules/eCATT scripts
3.) Make sure you have table display access (needed to find and validate updates)
If you'd like the documentation with screen shots please reply with your email address.
Cheers,

How to copy BEx Workbooks from one user's favourites to another user's
Is there a way to copy BEx Workbooks (Excel Analyzer) from one user's 'Favourites' to another user's Favourites?
A user is away on vacation and we need to get at a couple of workbooks that are stored only in that user's Favourites. We do not have access to that user's user id and password.
Were on BW version 3.5.Thanks Ravi.
We are aware that if a workbook is assigned to a Role then other users can access the workbook.
In order to assign the workbook to a Role, we need to be able to see it in the first place.
The workbook is currently saved only in a specific user's Favourites, and that user is away on vacation. We can not assign it to a Role unless we sign on as that user. We do not have the user's logonid and password.
So we are still interested in finding out how to copy from that user's Favourites, perhaps via a program or via the Administrator Workbench. -

Non user-specific layout in Tx KOC4
Hi all.
We´re trying to create a not user specific layout on tx KOC4, but the option "user-specific" is check and grayed out and can't modify it.
We´re using the standard report.... I search on the forum and on sap notes for a solution, but I can´t find it.
Thanks in advance for your help.If you want to be able to create non-user-specific layout from the actual/planned cost report in you have to flag the field "layout visibility - shared" in transaction OKN0. Then you will see that the user-specific field is no longer greyed out anymore.
I leave the solution, if anyone needs the help sometime
Thanks any way! -
Hi
I'm new to adobe forms.
Is it possible to have user specific layouts in adobe forms like we have for say ALV?
I can't see any option in the layout tab to save a particular layout.
If not then what are the other options available to achieve this?
Thanks
PushprajHello,
you have 2 options:
1) create multiple layouts for a single interface (layout variant at design time, created by the developer, not the user)
2) pass all the data into the form and add some information about what data does the user want to see
(note: everything must be send to the form, only part will be hidden according to the customizing)
in the form you will use scripting (to control the form behavior) to hide the fields the user does not want to see.
Extra: Maybe you could: Let the user create an ordinary ALV layout and save it
On runtime, before generating the form, you can check the layout and hide the fields in the form (through the "customizing" structure where you mark something like COL1 = 'X' for visible and COL2 = '' for invisible and make that happen through scripting).
There is no other way. There is no way user can create his own variant, it always must be a developer, who creates the variants. I am sorry I cannot help you with the user side customizing since there is no such thing.

RAGITT_ALV01 managment standard & user-specific layouts
Hi Guru,
How can I manage the report's layouts f.g. report RAGITT_ALV01, F8, ctrlF9 or CtrlF12
My users notoriously save theirs layouts as standard layout /RAGITTALV01 so I should close their permission to change standard layout. How can I do it?
Moreover where can I manage all layout so I have to do some order. I am adm.
Regards,
BettaHi,
They are'nt the helpful transactions.
The user runs report Asset History Sheet Based on Posted Depreciation (program RAGITT_ALV01) and there is the layout (CtrlF8) which is save (CtrlF12) as no user-specyfic with name begins / The users should only create own layout with 'Z' or 'Y' first letter name and mustn't create with the first letter name '/'
I have to take off the access (for particulary users) to save as the name begins sign '/' (=no user specific) so that the users can only save layout user-specific
Moreover I have to delete some incorrect or useless layouts which were saved by users.
Do you know how can I do it?
Regard,

Hi Gurus,
User has created a variant for KSB1 report and its saved as user specific variant automatically. Now he want to change this as global in order to access for other users but user specific check box not able to deactivate as its greyed out(not modifialbe). Attached screen shot for clarity on the issue. Please share your inputs on from where this tab is controlling?
Thanks in AdvanceHi Jyothi,
You can create a new standard layout with name starting with /. If user specific check box is grayed out and selected by default, then that user may not have proper authorization to create standard ALV layouts. Please ask your BASIS team to give required authorization.
Thanks,

User specific layout in product costing
Hi gurus,
I run report KKBC_ORD and set up specific layout.
I cannot save the same as global layout. Just as user-specific.Hello there,
There is an indicator in the product cost controlling -> information
system -> control parameters (OKN0) which allows shared layouts for
PCP reports. Please check this IMG transaction to see if 'layout visibil
ity is shared. If it is shared, then you should be able to save a
variant either for one user or all users.

Dear all,
is there a possibility to save user specific (ALV-) layouts for example in fagll03 to be able to import these again for example after a release upgrade? Thanks for suggestions and hints.
