Description text maintenance on PFCG

Hi everyone!
I have the following scenario: description text for roles were created on default german language - lang DE - and even when I change the description text on that default language, this is not visible or updated on other languages such as english.
Has anyone been through such situation?
These are the steps I'm taking:
1. Log onto SAP as admin user on german language
2. Go to PFCG
3. Select the desired role and edit
4. Change the description text
5. Save
Description text is now changed for german language but not for other languages.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Check OSS Note 854311. I hope it helps.
Regards,
Anil

CJ20N User Field Descriptive Text

Hi all,
In CJ20N, for an Activity's User Fields tab, we have a need to add descriptive text next to the field AFVGD-USR03 such that when data is entered into the field, the descriptive text is populated.
For example, we've implemented the field to input a user ID. We would like the user's name to appear to the right of the field as descriptive text.
How can we do this?

Check this --
First Option -
SPRO - Project System - Structure - Operative Structures - Network - Enhancements for Network - Create Customer-Specific Fields in Network Activities
Create Customer-Specific Fields in Network Activities
The following SAP enhancement is available for networks in the Project System:
CNEX0008    Customer-specific fields in network activities
You can use this enhancement to add new customer-specific fields to network activities in table AFVU. To process these fields you can create your own screen, which the user can call up when maintaining networks. or from the project planning board.
The enhancement CNEX0008 contains the following enhancement components:
Menu entries:
SAPLNWGR+CU1 project planning board
SAPLNWCU+CU1 network maintenance (CN21, CN22, CN23)
Function exits:
EXIT_SAPLCONW_002 for data transfer to your own program
EXIT_SAPLCONW_003 for data transfer from your own program
Screen areas:
SAPLCONW2999_CUSTSCR1_SAPLXCN10800
Activities
1. Create the enhancement.
To do this, either create a new project or use an existing one.
2. Create structure CI_AFVU in ABAP/4-Dictionary (Transaction SE11) in your own development class.
3. Expand structure CI_AFVU to include your own fields.
Please note:
to use the name ranges reserved for customers
the maximum number of fields in database tables, in this case AFVU and CI_AFVU is 749 (for SAP fields and user-defined fields together). For reasons of clarity, we recommend that you keep the actual number of fields to a minimum.
SAP reserves the right to add new fields to table AFVU; if the maximum is reached, your user-defined fields could be removed.
Activate the structure.
4. Maintain the enhancement components:
Assign the function customer fields a name.
Add to the program coding for the function exit EXIT_SAPLCONW_002. This exit transfers SAP data to your part of the program.
RTo do this, call up the function module and double-click on the include Create the include module.
Add to the program coding for the function exit EXIT_SAPLCONW_003. This function exit takes the data from your part of the program and Ptransfers it to the SAP standard program. Create your own corresponding module.
Create the screen area.
5. Activate the project.
Only once you have activated the project, will your enhancement take effect.
Note for Batch-Input
If you want to fill your customer-specific fields later via batch-input you must take screen SAPLCONW 2999 into consideration.
Second option --
Check enhancement CNEX0001
Overview
In the standard Project System, the system does not check the
user-defined fields in WBS elements and activities because their
significance is customer-specific.
You can use this enhancement to add a check. The components of the
enhancement are each accessed when you make entries in the appropriate
user-defined field.
Parameters
In each case, the values of the relevant object (e.g.WBS element or
activity) are transferred to the function modules. There are no return
parameters. If the value in a user-defined field (field name USR...) is
not allowed, an appropriate error message (E...) should be output.
       Enhancement CNEX0001 contains the following components:
     o   EXIT_SAPLCJSS_001: PS Customer-Exit for user-defined fields in the
         standard work breakdown structure
     o   EXIT_SAPLCJWB_001: PS Customer-Exit for user-defined fields in the
         work breakdown structure
     o   EXIT_SAPLCONW_001: PS Customer-Exit for user-defined fields in the
         network
     o   EXIT_SAPLCPDO_001: PS Customer-Exit for user-defined fields in the
         standard network
   Procedure
     For details of how to incorporate enhancements, refer to the system
     documentation or to the online documentation for transaction CMOD
     (project management of SAP enhancements, function exits)
Hope this helps..

SSRS Hide Description text in Report Manager

Hi
Does anyone know if you can hide the description text on report manager, this is populated in report properties > Description or can be updated direct in report manager.
I want to add a description but I do not want it displayed in report manager, is there a way of removing this?
Thanks

Hi Monkey14,
According to your description, you have a report with description. Now you just want to hide the description when accessing the report manager. Right?
In Reporting Services, we have a css file for Report Manager to set style. Now we just need to modify the style for description box. Please follow the steps below:
Go to Your Disk:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server[your MSRS instance]\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Styles\ReportingServices.css.
For your items, the style class name is "msrs-itemDescription":
p.msrs-itemDescription { white-space: nowrap; width: 250px; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-size:10pt; color:Gray; }
Add “display:none” in the style. It looks like below:
Save and preview.
Reference:
SSRS 2008r2 cutting off report descriptions in main display page in report manager
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

Need to display variable descriptive text in a report

Does anyone know of a way to display the descriptive text for user entry variables in Crystal Reports? I've tried a couple of methods in the past (a subreport going against master data and building an array of text valued from the data) but each has method has some significant drawbacks. How are customers dealing with this right now? I have been encouraging them to be satisfied with the technical names, but that doesn't go over very well.

Look like no one had any thoughts. I'll just close this one down for now.

Service Description Text

Within Define Services of the Homepage Framework for ESS, I have added text to my 'Service Description' for Who's Who
The text is one sentance (all one line) in ERP. When I review the text in ESS for the Service, the text appears on several lines.
For example in ERP Homepage Framework:
Search for all employees by name and find basic information about colleagues.
In ESS the same text looks like this:
Search for all employees by name
and find basic information
about colleagues.
How do I resolve this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
I think someone changed the SAP standard task, check its technical details to see who did it.
You can also check objects in transport for tasks it is PDTS.
If this is not the case and since this is a standard task, check OSS for this problem.

Text Maintenance behind IT0002 and IT0009

Hello,
We got a requirement to enable the Text Maintenance for IT0002 and IT0009.
When going to SPRO -> Personnel Management ->Personnel Administration -> Customizing Procedures -> Infotypes -> Infotypes -> IT02 the Copy Infotype box is checked. When trying to uncheck the Copy Infotype box and check the Text allowed box and save I am getting the following error hard error
Text maintenance not permitted as infotype part of Data Sharing (T582G).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Aranka

Dear Aranka,
You are getting this error because these infotypes have an entry in T582G (shared infotype) in your system. When infotype are shared then the maintenance of text for these infotypes is not allwed, thus the error message in T582A.
No if you do not need this infotype to be shared (if you are not using concurrent employment/or global employement) then you can remove these entries in T582G, then you will be allowed to select the text maintenance check box.
Hope this help
Best regards
Sarah

'role' description text from AM SDK

PROBLEM:
how do you get the role description text field from the AM SDK? this should be possible using an AMUser or AMRole object. 'roles' and 'policies' have a description field that we can use to tie specific data with that condition. i was advised to try and use a statement like the following
role.getAttribute("iplanet-am-role-description");
-- or --
role.getAttribute("description");
RESULT:
both return empty strings or sets (refer to code below). i know that the data is there, it shows up in the amconsole for roles and policies. also, using the admin console for the directory server, the description information is displayed.
i've also run cmd line ldapsearches against the directory server, looking for 'description' and 'iplanet-am-role-description'; these return empty, no error code. it's advertised as an attribute so i believe i should be able to find it. as previously stated using the admin console java app, those attributes associated with the 'role' object at the dc=mycompany,dc=com level are displayed, but not from a command line ldap search. it should also be noted that the performance of looking at a user object, w/ the admin console tool, is very slow. which may point in the direction that the admin console is also gathering the users, role, policy information from other objects w/in ldap. for example looking a user's definition, it displays amrole and amroledn, which are not directly stored attributes w/in the user's object.

Description text in WBS element

In esscatsap.com DC ..
We are looking to select Description text in WBS element or at least
show the description instead of WBS element.
How is that possible ? The best way i am guessing after looking at the
code is to add one more column (Description). But is this something
doable or advisible.
we looked at all the user exits, but nothing is helpful

Please post this question in WD java forum. If you want to do it, you need to change the DC using NWDI track.
