Documentation on user parameters set in SU3 or SU01?

Hello all. I am trying to find documentation on the available user parameters set in SU3 for self-service or in SU01 by an admin.
I frequently have users with issues with various reports, exports, etc. When all else fails, I remove all of their user parameters, the issue is resolved, and I add them back one by one until I find the offending incorrect parameter.
Some of the parameters are self explanatory -- like Company Code, Currency, etc.
But other, like GWRE for Report Writer, is just a series of X's. Like -- X XXX XEX....
I can't figure out how to tell what most of them mean.
Thanks so much.

Hi Amit,
That is not strictly true (and the link contains incorrect information).
Some parameters have historically been used to provide authorisation. One of the most commonly used ones is EFB which is used to allow creation of a PO without reference to a PR. That is only one example, there are lots in HR.

How to set user parameters in transaction MD61 through a report?

Hi,
I want to set default values for 'Requirement Type' in user parameters of transaction MD61 through a report. Please help.
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

User mangement - Set default user parameters

Hello Experts ,
Does anybody know where we can set the default fields for the users , so when one is created over SU01, for example the telephone number and one parameter, is already set ?
I searched as well for a program that can mass update user parameters but i didnt found anything i think the solution here is through a custom transaction .
The user management is on Solution Management.
I would be glad if someone could help me out ,
Best regards,
David

CUA and user parameters

I thought CUA updated all user characteristics, but I just noticed that User Parameters are not updating on my system. Is this configurable? Is it supposed to work this way? Does anyone know of documentation that explains this. Thank you.

Hi Leo,
Generally User Parameters are set to PROPOSAL (recommended by SAP) which means the users should be able to mainatin their parameters in different systems individually.
PFB the document stating the same in SAP HELP.

OIM 9.1 User data set

Hi,
In release note of 9.1 it is mentioned that :
Display of all OIM User attributes on the Step 3: Modify Connector Configuration page
On the Step 3: Modify Connector Configuration page, the OIM - User data set now shows all the OIM User attributes. In the earlier release, the display of fields was restricted to the ones that were most commonly used.
and
Attributes of the ID field are editable
On the Step 3: Modify Connector Configuration page, you can modify some of the attributes of the ID field. The ID field stores the value that uniquely identifies a user in Oracle Identity Manager and in the target system.
Can anyone please guide me how to get both things as I am getting only few fields of user profile in OIM-USer data set and also not able to modify ID field.
I am using OIM 9.1 on Websphere application server 6.1
Thanks

Unfortunately i do not have experience using the SPML generic connector. Have you read through all the documentation pertaining to the GTC?

How to restrict changes in Tabs: Defaults and Parameters in tcode: SU3

Good Morning Everybody.
Do you know how to restrict End Users can change data stored in Tabs Defaults and Parameters of tcode: SU3.
I was checking Authorization Objects related this transaction but I did not find a way to fix this issue.
Thanks for your comments.
Mauricio Cardozo.
BASIS Consultant.

I've been looking into this same question. I don't think there's any way to protect individual user parameters, which is what we really wanted to do, but it is possible to protect the Parameters tab as a whole while still granting access to the Address and Defaults tabs (if desired). SU3, which is usually given to all users, gives change access to all three tabs in the User Data, but to make it more fine-grained, as the last person said, take away SU3 and instead grant whatever combination of SU0, SU1, or SU2 makes sense for your organization. SU0 gives access to the Defaults tab, SU1 to the Address tab, and SU2 to the Parameters tab.
So, in your case, you would grant SU1 only, so users can change their name or phone number, etc, but not Defaults or Parameters. They won't even be able to see defaults or parameters if you do this, though.
I hope this helps.

How to convert internal date to the format of user default setting

In the BDC program, I need to convert the date, such as the sy-datum 20070427, to the format of user default that is defined in T-code SU01, such as YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY.MM.DD, and so on.
The user format has 6 six kinds, and it is not good idea to write the code to process. So I look for the functions or CLASS method to process. I can use the function 'ITS_GET_USER_DEFAULTS' to get the user default setting of the Date format and Decimal notation.The problem is that I can not find the function or CLASS method to convert the internal date to user's date format.
The function: CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL can not do it.
The CLASS method: cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_int_to_ext may be do it. But I do know how exchange the parameters, and fail to make it work finely.
Is there the functions or CLASS method to process it?
Thanks a lot!

Hi John,
create a veriable :
data: v_date type char10.
then after getting the date in YYYYMMDD format, write the following statement.
WRITE SY-DATUM TO V_DATE.
this might solve your problem.

Hemant.

Delivering site in VA01 based on user parameters

Hi,
My requirement is to set the field 'Delivering Site' from transaction VA01 (Program Name: SAPMV45A ; Screen Number: 4440; Screen-field: RV45A-DWERK) defaulted by the user parameters.
The problem is that this field in standard VA01 doesn't have the Parameter ID = WRK. Is there any way I can 'force' this field RV45A-DWERK to use the parameter from the user-parameters?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards

Hi,
Not sure about how to force a parameter id !
However, you can check user exit MV45AFZB -> FORM USEREXIT_SOURCE_DETERMINATION
where the delivering plant that need to be set according to user parameters can be done by coding your logic.
This field is normally defaulted from the customer master -> sales area data.

Amit

Referencing runtime values of user parameters

Hi folks,
i have a report that displays data for a period between 2 date values that are specified at runtime via 2 date user parameters created in the report.
i want to reference the runtime values of the 2 user parameters in boilerplate text as follows
Between <date_param1> And <date_param2>
Since they are not fields, i cannot reference them in boilerplate text as described in the help notes.
Can anyone help out.
thanks in advance.

In addition to fields, you can also reference column or parameter values directly from within boilerplate. So you should be able to do: "&<date_param1> And &<date_param2>"
Alternatively, create a field - "F_1", mark it as hidden and set its source to "date_param1". You can then reference the field as defined within the help notes.

Hi Manfred
Thanks for the reply. But I already looked at this option and it cannot be used for parameter maintenance.

Specifying Non-String User Parameters in The Block Comment Dialog Tag

I am trying to add user parameters for a block. I followed the instruction provided in section 4.3.7 (comments) of sysytembuild user's guide.
The steps were as follows:
1- I added a new parameter named (a_r) to a gain block (from the User Parameters section of Comment tag dialog field).
2- I selected this parameter and assigned a value of 5
Now, using the SBA command I retrieve this parameter:
------------------------------- Xmath outputs
[n=UserParameterName, p=UserParameterContent] = queryblock(1)
n
n (a string) = a_r
p
p (a list with 1 elements) =
1:
5
p(1)
ans (a string) = 5
---------------------------- end of Xmath outputs
Accordin
g to the documentation, using suffix (_r) will specify a real parameter (_i for integer and _s for string). However, the list object
obtained from "UserParameterContent" includes a string element and not a number. This can be verified by:
--------------------------------------- Xmath outputs
p(1) *2
Cannot evaluate * of a string.
modifyblock 1 ,{UserParameterContent = list(5)}
Expecting a list of strings
--------------------------------- end of Xmath outputs
It looks like that independent of the naming convention, the user parameters are stored in a list with string elements in contrast to what
mentioned in "Editing User Parameters Dialog" of the Help topics:
"To create a new userparameter, enter a name in the User Defined field, and then click the Add button. Note that the name must have
one of the following suffixes: _s (string), _b (boolean), _r (real), or _i (integer). "
The questions are as follows:
1- Is there a way to store n
on-string type user parameters?
2- If there is a way for that, then, is it only for scalar numeric values or vectors and matrices can also be stored in user parameters?
Thanks,

The Comments Tab is generally used to define User Parameters that will be used with DocumentIt. The suffix (_s, _b,_r, etc) is to designate the datatype for DocumentIt.
All user parameters will be passed as string data to Xmath. As you noted the value 5 is passed as a string. To convert this to a scalar use the makematrix command. After you assign a value of 5 to the a_r user parameter use the SBA command queryblock as follows:
n=UserParameterName, p=UserParameterContent] = queryblock(1)
then enter
m=makematrix(p(1))
this will return a scalar.
To get a vector in Xmath from the User Parameters you must assign the values differently on the Comment tab. Define a user parameter and assign its values by entering a carriage return after each element.
For example assign the following value to user paramter a_r:
5
6
7
8
Using the queryblock command you should now get:
p(1) is a column vector of strings
again use the makematrix command to convert this to a vector of scalars.
m1=makematrix(p(1))
Matrices will require a different user parameter for each column of the matrix. For example to add a column to the previous vector, you will need to go to the user parameters and add a new parameter (call it b_r) assign its values with the carriage return after each element for example:
0
1
2
3
Again use the queryblock command. Now p will have 2 elements (one for each parameter). To create a matrix enter:
m2=makematrix([p(1),p(2)])
NOTE: The order the user parameters were entered in the Comment Tab will not necessarily correspond to the element they return as when using the queryblock. For example from the previous procedure, do not assume the second user parameter entered (b_r) is going to be returne
d as p(2).

Default Sales Org Data based on User parameters

Hello,
I wonder if it was possible to have the Sales org data beeing filled in automatically based on the user parameters. In ERP you can set this up in the user settings "Own data". In CRM you also have this option but I'm not sure if the WEB GUI uses this data in order to default the values.
What I would want is that when a user creates a prospect, the sales are data is automatically filled based on the user's parameters.
would this be possible?
Kind regards

Hi Tom,
You can attach the user to a BP which in turn is assigned with org attributes.
Also the determination should be enabled.

How do u handle the user parameters for a currency field.

How do u handle the user parameters for a currency field.
   Decimal saperator and a hundreds saperator. (depending upon the user parametes set for the user the saperators may differ)

User parameters EFB and EVO

Hi,
I have 2 questions here.
1. What is the significance of user parameters of EFB and EVO in user profile-own data.
How and what does it really controlls? For that matter how do we find out what entries have to be maintained in the user profile-own data-parameters.
2.When I enter transaction MIRO to enter an invoice, I always see the exchange rate field as greyed out on the details tab.
How can I enter a different exchange rate ?
Please suggest
