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

User-Specific Report Variants

Hi,
is there an easy way to assign a user-specific report variant without modifying the report or create own transactions. For example by assigning the report variant somehow to the user-parameter?
Thanks for your help,
Andreas

Hi,
Maybe you could play with the GET PARAMETER ID ...
Or maybe you could create a program that start the real program after selecting the default variant of the user. After you call the program with this variant.
SUBMIT REPORT01
       VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
       USING SELECTION-SET 'VARIANT1'
       USING SELECTION-SETS OF PROGRAM 'REPORT00'
       AND RETURN.

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.

User specific default variant in a selectio screen

Is it possible to provide an option to create user specific default variant in a selection screen?
I have developed a custom report program. Now I want to allow users to choose one of their variants as default variant ? Please help.

Hi very Simple and easy solution:
In SE93 when u are creating the transaction for the program use the option 'Start with variant' and give your own vaiant name for the program start. This will help you in starting your proam always with your default variant.
Hope That Helps

User Specific Transaction Variant

Hi,
Can i please have guidelines for Transaction variant creation, specially user specific transaction variant creation along with example?
Regards,
Samir Wadajkar

Dear
Please see this wiki for useful :http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Transaction%20Variant%20-%20A%20Step%20by%20Step%20Guide%20for%20Creation
OR
Go to SHD0
Enter the transaction code - Enter the transaction variant YXXX under transaction variants tab
Create - the transaction variant. When you back after creating .... Save all the screens and do a syntax check - this will take you to different screen - Just execute and come back
You should now be in SHD0 with your transaction code as well as transaction variant.
Now, go to 'GOTO' on application tool bar - Create transaction variant. Do not check 'Inherit GUI attributes' under classification and check all under GUI SUPPORT
Execute your newly create Ytransaction
Go back to SHD0 again and repeat the same process but enter different name than previous one. do the exact same process.
Create new transaction which means enter different transactio name like if the previous one is yxxx1 ... create this as yxxx2.
You can take the standard transaction from every user or who you dont want to give by removing the authorization from user master (talk to security people)
Hope this will be usefull

Safari not working on my computer user account, works fine for other users.

Safari hangs up and barely opens a page, or the beach ball just spins and then Safari dies. This is only happening on my user account, and on the other user accounts Safari is working fine. I have tried most recommendations, including resetting Safari, inserting DNS 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, and turning off plug-ins.
Thanks for any help on this.
I am using Safari v.4.0.4

Just wanted to add that I am also have the exact same issue. I have not added anything new to my computer. I have not downloaded anything off of the internet, installed any new programs, or changed any preferences. I am running 10.6.2 and Safari 4.0.4
This is extremely frustrating. It makes absolutely no sense.

User Specific Display Variants

Hi
Were on ECC 6.0 and when I choose to create and save a display variant from and ALV screen the user-specific box is ticked and I can not un-tick it because its grayed out - no matter what we do we can not un-tick this checkbox. We need to create global display variants so that all user can use these display variants.
Is there a configuration setting that we can adjust ?? any suggestions to overcome this problem are welcome.
Thanks

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.

Grant to a specific user and deny for all other users

I have 100 users. Out of 100 users, i have windows & sql authentication users. I have a view "SQL_CONFIG_V" and want to give access to "corp\abc" (windows authentication user) and "poc" (sql authentication user) and all
system user id's(by default) like sys, information_schema etc. I want to deny all other users to see view defintion or alter this view "SQL_CONFIG_V" except the users that i specified here.

You can deny access to those users to the database, or they are have the access but you do not want them to SELECT that specific view? Do the users members of db_owner role?
GRANT SELECT on viewname TO freddie

How to define a specific report variant execution in Area Menu

For report REP01, for exemple, with a selection screen, I defined a variant with specific options, named VAR_SPEC1, to be used by a certain group of persons.
Now I created the Area Menu ZMSPEC1, and I need to associate to it an entry to execute program REP01 via variant VAR_SPEC01. How can I do it?
I saw that the program REP01 already has already defined a report transaction (ZEXREP01, for ex.), but if I use this transaction in the Area Menu, I will not use my variant...
I was looking to the different types of transactions that can be defined, but I am a bit lost.
Thanks in advance.
Davide

Hello,
I am still a bit lost about the easier (or better) way to associate to the new Area Menu the execution of a non-local program with selection-screen, using some predefined options (hidding some fields, predefining others...).
Can someone be more specific?
I guess the necessary elements are:
1) non-local program REP01;
2) core report variant VAR_DEFAULT, for program above.
3) new local variant VAR_SPEC1, for program in 1)
4) ...
5) ... some solution to link both parts...
6) ...
7) Area Menu ZMSPEC1, with a new item to call the execution of REP01 with variant VAR_SPEC1.
Any ideas? many thanks!

Data Execution Prevention prevents itunes from opening on my user ID, but not every other user ID.

I completely deleted every Apple file from my computer. There are 4 user IDs on my computer. Mine is the Administrator, my husband's ID my son's ID. and a completely new ID I set up to see if I could get iTunes to work.
I reinstalled iTunes 10.5 on my Administrator ID. The installation went fine, but iTunes will not open in my ID, or my husband's ID. I get the message that Data Execution Prevention has closed it. iTunes will open in my son's ID, as well as the new ID I set up for iTunes testing.
I have tried uninstalling (deleting ALL Apples files) and reinstalling on my ID as a Standard user. Same thing. iTunes doesn't work on my ID or husband's, but does on the other 2 User IDs.
I have not activated Microsoft Outlook on the 2 IDs where iTunes works. Outlook is activated on the other 2 User IDs.
Does something about Outlook cause me to get the DEP error? Is there a way to fox this problem? I really don't want to have to go to a completely different User ID everyt ime I want to use iTunes.
I am using Windows Vista Home Deluxe, and installing the 64-bit iTunes download on the Apple.com website.
I have used instructions from several documents here on the Apple boards. The ones I use most are "iTunes for Windows:Doesn't open after upgrading in Windows Vista of Windows 7". "iTunes for Windows of Windows 7:Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues", and on this one, I followed the instructions for user-specific troubleshooting. I also followed the instructions in "General installation troubleshooting".
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes so many times, i can almost do it in my sleep. Somebody please help. My iPhone and iPod need updating!! Thanks!!!

I cannot see other user's tables via the OTHER USERS link

I'm using SQL Developer version 1.5.0.53 Build MAIN-53.38.
I log into the database as a user who has SELECT access to tables in other schemas via a ROLE.
In the SQL window, I can select from those other tables as I expect.
But, when I go down to the bottom of the screen and expand the Other Users link and then go down to one of the schemas that my account can select from,
no tables appear.
I've tried a couple of things so far to no avail.
1. I first granted SELECT ANY TABLE to my account. I then killed my SQL Developer session and started a fresh session. I'm seeing the same results.
2. I saw a post in here that said I needed to grant SELECT on the ALL_USERS view. So I removed the SELECT ANY TABLE privilege and granted the SELECT on
ALL_USERS to my account. Once again, I killed the SQL Developer session and re-logged in. Same results.
Is this a bug?
Thanks,
John

well, it turns out I'm not as dumb as I though. My end user could still not select from other user's Materialized Views. Some more research showed that granting either SELECT ANY TABLE or SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE fixed the problem for him. I'm sure that a more restrictive grant on one of the DBA_ tables would also work (probably DBA_MVIEWS) but I've not tried that.

Data Uploads done with one User Id not visible to other users in SPM

Hi,
Data uploads were successfully carried out by one of the SPM users. However, other users (with different user id) are not able to see anything in the Data Upload Summary screen.
Is there a restriction on the visibility of Data Upload Summary for data uploads carried out with one User id to other users in SPM? A similar behaviour is observed for other screens within the Data upload workbench.
Incase this is not the expected behaviour, it would be great if you could please provide pointers to possible reasons for this.
Just for your information, all users have been granted same privileges in the SPM application.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ashish Sharma

Hi Ashish,
No this is not the expected behavior. We have seen this issue for other customers in the past but the reason has always turned out to be role related.
Can you ensure that the required SPM roles are assigned to the user who do not see the DM data both in ABAP as well as portal.
Thanks,
Divyesh
