Customize user settings in SRM7

Dear exports,
As user (like purchaser) I can change the item overview table (in PO for example) by clicking the "setting" link (or by right clicking-user settings-more... at the right corner of the item overview table), but I'm looking for a way to change the item overview table by customizing.
Please you advice.
Best Regards,

Hi Eyal,
I dont think changing the columns in the "ITEM OVERVIEW" screen is possible via CUSTOMIZING.
You need to do it via Webdynpro enhancement.Take help of ABAP team.
HTH.

Want to export user settings from Office 2007 on client, to be able to import in Office 2013?

Upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2013. We may need to save the user settings on the client computer, because we are moving some of the systems from 32-bit to 64-bit. How can we export the settings to a folder?

Hi,
Could you please tell us what is included in user setting? Such as the customized Quick Access Toolbar settings, customize ribbon settings, or profile in Outlook?
Generally, we can’t upgrade operating system from 32-bit to 64-bit directly, we need to reinstall 64-bit operating system.
Office 2007 don’t provide the Import/Export button like Office 2010/Office 2013, we can’t export QAT setting and customize ribbon setting directly.
To customize an installation of Office 2013, you can use the Office Customization Tool (OCT) to perform tasks such as the following:
Specifying installation options
Customizing how Office applications and features are installed
Configuring default user settings
Managing additional content: add or remove files, registry entries or shortcuts
Configuring Outlook options: setting the default profile, adding email accounts, and specifying Exchange settings

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Header portlet issue: User settings not passed to Header portlet on "My Pages"

I am trying to write a header portlet which reads User Settings (User preference). The settings are retrieved correctly and the header portlet works fine on a Community portlet but when browsing "My Pages" or "Knowledge Directory" the settings are not being passed to the header portlet. I have tried this on multiple portals and I get the same behavior. Can you kindly let me know the cause of the problem and help me fix this issue Thanks,Rakesh

I was able to figure out setting the global display on the default pages, but I'm still stymied at how to set the display for the page portlets for user customizations. In instances where users have added a page portlet, only the portlet header is displayed. I've done the following to try to fix the situation:
- Deleted and regenerated the page portlets
- Refreshed the repository
- Refreshed the display for individual user pages
Nothing seems to work. This is a major showstopper for us: we are scheduled to go "live" with the 9.0.2.6 version on Friday, and we do not want to ask users to recustomize their pages.
Windows; 9.0.2.6
Thanks for all the help!

Takes up to 5 min "Applying User Settings" with events ID 6005 6006 after a reboot - Win Server 2008 R2 Standard 64bit

Hi,
Has anybody seen the issue below showing in the logs? The time for the logs messages switch from the real time (17:57) to some random time (10:55). There seem to be a disconnect with the time. I noticed right when the status message while logging in switches
to "apply user settings", the time get screwed up on the gpsvc.log file and switches to the random time (10:55) and keeps reporting that random time till "apply user settings" process completes and switches back to regular real time (17:57).
I made sure the server is synced up with w32tm /resync command. Tried different DNS settings. Tried dis joining and rejoining to the domain. tried to block inheritance on GPMC to that OU. Created new domain user. Deleted local profiles. All with no luck and
same behavior which is taking up to 5 min "applying user setting" only after a reboot. If I log in and out without reboot, it would log in just fine within seconds.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks,

The numbers in parenthesis are PID.TID of gpsvc.exe. So we see a thread
change, and this usually indicates that a different logon process has
begun. Could you try to map this log entries to events in the group
policy event log?
But to be honest: No, I've never seen such a behavior in gpsvc.log :(
I'm almost sure that a service is responsible, but how to identify it -
I don't know. There's no auditing for system time changes, AFAIK.

How to transfer user settings from one account to another (on the same Mac)

I'd like to create separate user accounts for "work" and "play" (so that I can do things like have separate address books, etc...). However, I already have LOTS of personalized settings (trackpad behavior, login items, etc) that I'd like to keep the same between the two accounts.
Is there a way to transfer all of the user settings from one account to another?

You'll need to copy your /Home/Library folder. Make sure you back up first before doing the following. Log out of both your Work and Play accounts. Log in to a third account with administrator privileges. Assuming you are copying from the account called "work" to the account called "play", enter the following in Terminal:
sudo rm -rf ~play/Library (this deletes Play's Library folder.)
sudo cp -R ~work/Library ~play/Library (this copies Work's Library folder to Play's folder.)
sudo chown -R play ~play/Library (this fixes permissions of Play's new Library folder.)

Can I copy my apps/user settings from one drive/OS to another?

I have one drive of my system with 10.3.9, that I've been using for quite awhile, with all my apps, preferences, registrations etc.
I just installed a clean install of 10.4.3 on another drive.
Is there away to clone/copy all my user settings from the 10.3.9 drive to the 10.4.3 drive, so that it behaves the same way?
I didn't want to user the "transfer user settings" when I installed 10.4, because I need to keep the 10.3.9 system exactly as is.

Just erase the hard drive first. Here's the basic cloning process using Disk Utility:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the startup volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Drag the startup volume to the Source entry field.
5. Select the backup volume from the leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Check the box to Erase Destination.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
If you prefer to keep your Panther system, then clone it to the new drive and update the new drive to Tiger. If you want both drives to have Tiger installed, then upgrade the Panther system to Tiger, then clone it to the new drive.
If you'd rather see how it goes using Migration Assistant, then by all means give it a try. Worst thing that can happen is you end up doing it my way. If Migration Assistant works properly you'll save some time and effort.

Can I have multiple user settings for one user?

In one user account I would like to save and access mutlipe users settings at the click of a button. Can this be done?

Hello Jake,
from the Appple menu you can change the location - the location describes your network settings, if you have wlan, ethernet, vpn etc, but unfortunately not the things you want to configure.
If you want to set up your desktops and your Dock with different working sets depending on your task, then you need to create different accounts, one for a new user "Jake The Writer" and one for a new user "Jake the Graphics Designer". This you can do from the "System Preferences" -> "Users and Groups". To add an account click the padlock in the lower left corner, then the "+" and define the user name etc.
If you click on "login options" you can set "show fast user switching". Then you can switch between your accounts from the main menu bar by clicking on the user icon in the upper right corner (right beside the spotlight searchfield).
For each new user you can set up the Dock and the items on the Desktop, when you login as that user.
However, seperate user accounts try to protect your data by sharing and permission settings. So you would not be able to access the data in your separate home folders when logged in from a different account. If you want to use these approach you should store your documents in the Shared folder and not in your home folder.

Can't Customize, Change Settings, or Move Files -- Permissions Issue?

Hey all:
Just got a new MBP w/ 10.5.2. Successfully migrated most of my user settings and applications from the old Tiger HDD (old laptop died a horrible death).
The problem is that aside from everything appearing to be the same, I'm finding that I don't have the access to do a whole lot with my own files. Several different problems that "seem" like they're stemming from the same accessiblity/permissions issue include:
Intermittent trouble downloading files with Firefox's default download tool.
Complete inability to change desktop background.
Programs fail to remember setting changes after quit and re-launch.
System Preferences do not remember changes to settings.
Certain files can not be moved, renamed, opened, or deleted w/o admin authorization, or in some cases, at all.
The problems started after I migrated the old system over after having an interim user account running for a few days prior. After migrating, I attempted to reconcile the two together and that's when things got hairy.
In the past couple days, I have tried:
1.) Archive and Install (preserving User settings - now down to just one admin).
2.) Changing permissions to system read/write, admin read/write, everyone read only for the entire /User directory, applied to all enclosed items.
3.) Repairing Permissions (which took about 10 minutes!)
I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm stuck with my OS acting the way it wants to, which is the exact way it was after being archived and reinstalled, no matter what changes I try to apply in the Finder, Preferences, or in any programs.
I'm thinking maybe a clean install and then migrating over the backup I just made on my external HD will get me my stuff without whatever troublesome thing is freezing me out, but I'm not really sure, and I don't really understand much about command lines in Terminal.
Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks.

Oddly enough I just had a spastic moment with a mouse click and put my Drop Box in the Trash (I keep the Delete thing in my window toolbar, which is handy, but can lead to accidents)... Since I was playing with it I noticed its absence immediately. Realized what I had done after a moment's reflection, and put it back. Which just goes to confirm something I ALWAYS do before I empty the Trash: open it and see what's in there first, then click empty.
As to whether removing ACLs is for advanced users only: well, up until Leopard that's the way it always was, there were, until now, NO ACLs on the users folders. So should everyone have been an advanced user until now? Did you ever delete a folder in Jaquar or Panther or Tiger and empty your Trash without checking? Indeed, if you use Time Machine, available in Leopard but not before, you are already protected from such goofs, since you can recover things accidently deleted using Time Machine, so actually you are in better shape with Leopard than ever before, WITHOUT the ACLs if you use Time Machine. Until Leopard there was neither belt nor suspenders to automatically protect you from losing data. Leopard supplies both.
The situation reminds me of the continuing debate about virus protection on the Mac. Personally, I have seen various anti-virus programs cause all sorts of problems, and it has yet to protect any Mac system from anything (since as yet there are no Mac system viruses). Anti-virus software may have saved some users of Microsoft Office who share files with Windows users from getting a macro virus in their Word docs, and it might have kept a Mac user from passing on some email virus to some Windows users by forwarding stuff from the Internet. But still.... if you don't use MS Office or forward email junk, you get no benefit and may get some problems.
Same seems to me to be true of ACLs: it is possible to get a benefit (you can't accidently toss your Movies folder and lose data, assuming you mindlessly empty your Trash and don't have a backup), but an awful lot of people are having an awful lot of problems.

User Settings not working. Please help!

<TD noWraplign=right>I am trying to build some interactive portlets using User prefs and have had no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my code for the first portlet (view_course_defaultView is set as a user preference in the web service):
privatevoidPage_Load(objectsender, System.EventArgs e)
IPortletContext context = PortletContextFactory.CreatePortletContext(Request, Response);
IPortletRequest pRequest = context.GetRequest();
IPortletResponse pResponse = context.GetResponse();
IPortletUser user = context.GetUser();
try
if(user.HasSettingsRight(SettingType.User))
pResponse.SetSettingValue(SettingType.User, "view_course_defaultView", "All");
else
Response.Write("You can't do that");
catch(Exception ex)
Response.Write(ex.Message + ex.StackTrace);
Here is my code for the second portlet (again view_course_defaultView is set as a User preference in the Web Service):
privatevoidPage_Load(objectsender, System.EventArgs e)
try
IPortletContext pContext = PortletContextFactory.CreatePortletContext(Request, Response);
IPortletResponse pResponse = pContext.GetResponse();
IPortletRequest pRequest = pContext.GetRequest();
IPortletUser pUser = pContext.GetUser();
if(pUser.HasSettingsRight(SettingType.User))
Response.Write(pRequest.GetSettingValue(SettingType.User, "view_course_defaultView"));
Response.Write(pRequest.GetSettingCollection(SettingType.User).Count);
catch(Exception ex)
Response.Write(ex.Message + ex.StackTrace);
The only thing written to the screen in the second portlet is 0 for the User settings count. Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Jackie Kajdzik

I am having the same issue. The Admin, Portal and CommunityPortal prefs set fine. However, the user pref will not set. Could this be because this pref is not to be set in this manner?

User Settings Not Retained

Second Admin account with different user name. Set up desktop/user settings etc. Log out and log back in. Hard drive and other icons not on desktop. Dock apps revert to default. Safari history and bookmarks disappeared. Other anomalies.
???

My apologizes on the below post - do you get the same response when you reboot the WLC and hit 'ESC' for additional boot options - and then clear the config this way?

User settings migrated from Office 2007 to 2013 using OCT

Does anyone know what user settings are retained after upgrading Office 2007 to 2013 using the OCT? I have set the checkbox to migrate user settings in the OCT but all of the user's pinned documents are not longer there after the upgrade. Is this normal?

Microsoft doesn't support migrating directly from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013, likely part of your decision to use a third party tool.
I'm not familiar with these error messages, I suspect they're from DocAve and not SharePoint.
My suggestion is to contact AvePoint support.

User Settings in ALV - need to disable

Hi - I need to disable the user settings for ALV, I try from if_salv_wd_std_functions ~ set_dialog_settings_allowed( abap_false ) but is working fine for the screen, if I go to the column and do right click, the user settings are enable at the column level.
Is there any way I can disable the column user settings?
thanks!
Jason P-V

Hi Jason,
I simply set the WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION parameter of my component's apllication to 'X' and now i don't see the usersetting option when I right click even on the column of the ALV. You can try that.
To do so: double click on your application, go to the parameters tab, make it editable, in the parameters column get 'WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION' parameter and set its value as 'X'.
I hope it helps.

Set Default User settings in BRF Plus

Hi All,
We want to set some default setting for a set of the users for BRFPlus gui.
For Example:
1. We want to display row no in the decision table as the first column for all users.
2. In the decision table, we want some columns ( from result section)which are actually in the end on the right of the screen should be visible as first column.
I know these can be achieved using user settings. But we want to default this for all the BRF Plus users.
Can we create one setup and assign it or default it for all BRF Plus users? Like we do in SAP R3 defaulting menus for SAP users.
Thanks In Advance.

Hi Carsten,
Thanks for the hint.
We have already used the blog to hide some features from users view in custom catalog. After your reply I revisited the our code and added few more lines of codes to display row number. But the Row Number was not displayed. Guessing if anything is missing.
Is it not possible to do at user profile level for mass users. Like we do it for SAP R3 Users?
Code Snippet:

Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 - Windows Server 2013 Standard - When logging in user hangs on - "Applying user settings" message

Dear colleges,
Thanks in advance for viewing and suggesting!
Now for whatever reason it is the XCHG server is not responsive at all when launching ECP from the other computer on the domain. When logging in to the virtual box EXCH server is hosted on it hangs on the "Applying user settings" message for
an about an hour when finally logged in 4 or 5 XCHG services won't start... I don't remember exactly which ones - "...Mailbox Transport..." is one of them.
I read about the similar being an issue with Win 2008 R2 and EXCH server 2010, and followed the advice that I needed to add some entries to the registry - didn't help, disabling IP6 (which by the way makes no sense as XCHG needs one) - still didn't help.
Would you suggest to rebuild virtual server and reinstall EXCH all together as troubleshooting Windows issues may be lengthy?
Thanks!

Thanks folks! I think I have a clue what's going through don't know how fix it yet.
The problem is with DNS unable to resolve my main domain vwc.local. It makes some XCHG services to time out when starting. The error messages in the event log suggest about domain being unavailable
to contact.
When I tried resolving vwc.local with nslookup and ping it pinged THE OLD domain's IP address. When I setup server at home I specified this old ip address but changed it to a new one when I
moved box to the office. In the office everything worked very well - I introduced office's desktops to vwc.local, built a virtual box, introduced it the domain as well. Everything was good up until I started messing with XCHG. Now the domain is not resolvable
even though I made to be pinged to the new address by updating network adapter settings at the main server by selecting some checkboxes. But the vwc.local is still not available at VW where the XCHG is hosted on. When I open Server Manager/AD DS/AD DS
manager it gives me an error message about the DC being unavailable to contact.
How do I fix this domain mess now? Now I have 3 issues to deal with:
1. My remote desktop stopped working due to trial expiration even though I licensed server for 5 RDSCALs. This is a known issue with RDS and AD DS roles hosted on one physical box. Nobody seems
to know the step by step solution to the issue. I just got bunch of recommendations that I already followed. It looks like I need to call Microsoft and have them deal with their buggy software altogether.
2. DNS/domain issues described below. Something very weird. May I try re prepping the AD DS on the main server. I didn't try that may be I will.
3. XCHG not receiving messages from the outside.
:) Let's just focus on DNS/domain for a moment.
Thanks in advance!

Querying user settings

Hi,
After quite a bit of experience developing ASP gadgets for version 4.5, we've recently moved to Plumtree version 5 and .Net.
One thing we would like to be able to do is provide a web service for use by other applications (outside the portal) which could request the retrieval of a specific User setting for a given user.
I've seen some examples of similar challenges, but still a bit bewildered how to go about this (on the Plumtree side of things, the actual process of building our own web service is fine).
The web service will be built with .Net & WSE, on a server with the Plumtree EDK installed. I've checked and our Plumtree installation also has the PTAPI QueryInterfaceAPI web service available.
Should I use a PRC session, and impersonate the user I need to get the settings for, or will setting up a session as an admin user be sufficient to query the User settings object for another user?
Any help offered would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Charles

Sorry - I'm a doofus. I didn't read your post completely.
You're right - if you want to attach to this service w/o going through Plumtree/BEA first to obtain a login ID you'd need to impersonate a user (I'd suggest a secured admin account where the credentials are encrypted).
Try this... (server API)
In your web.config
<appSettings> <add key="UserID" value="administrator" /> <add key="UserPassword" value="" /></appSettings>
Encrypt these or do something to protect them.
