Global layout setting

Hi experts,
I have a query on the default layout setting.
I could not create a global layout, only user specific layouts are allowed.
I found that we need to set authorization object S_ALV_LAYO with ACVT = 23 to maintain & change global setting.
But still it is not possible to create a global layout. The option with user specific is set and greyed out, so I cannot change it.
Regards,
Pri

Hi Priya,
As of Release 4.6C, authorization object S_ALV_LAYO is available with which you can control the authorization for display variant maintenance.If you would like to use or save the Excel view in your layout, you also require the additional authorization S_BDS_DS with activity 01,02,03,06,30; CLASSNAME ALVLAYOUTTEMPLATES and CLASSTYPE OT.Furthermore, there are applications that have their own authorization checks installed.
In some ALV lists, you can only save user-specific layouts. In these cases, the indicator "user-specific" is active , on a grey background and unable to be changed. This is related to the parameter I_SAVE. This controls which options you have to save the layout.To be able to define default layouts, the parameter I_DEFAULT must have the value 'X'.
Refer to SAP Note 409190 and 601803.
Thanks,
Saby..

Layout Set: How to add a new field in a layout Set?

Hi ABAPPERS.
Question:
How can I add a new field in a layout set?
Scenario:
QC21 uses a global Layout Set ZQMECOA_GLOBAL.
There's a field required in this Layout Set which is Production Date(CAUFVD-GLTRP).
Where is the date query happening here?
Where can I insert the SELECT statement for the new field required?
I try to look at:
OPEN_FORM and WRITE_FORM, it seems that date query or SELECTION of data is not happening here.
Thanks.

If you are adding a header field then you will extend the header structure in CRM and do the same with Item structures for Item fields. You will use EEWB or similar technique in the CRM backend to extend the header or item.
These extended fields in the backed are available in customer_h or _i structures in the order object that can be read and modified in the Header BAdI or Item BAdi.
If you think that this message is cryptic or not enough, then you should search for Extension Guide in this forum and read the document.

Customize the layout set used when opening a folder in search result list?

Hi,
I have created a search result iView that uses a predefined search query to show a list of folders. If I click on a folder (rnd:displayname(contentLink)) its content is displayed in a new window. Here the layout set Consumer Explorer (default profile?) is used.
I want to use a custom layout set in this window. How can I achieve this?

Mario

Hi Mario,
here the answers:

You can either check the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/Implementing%20Flexible%20UI%20One-Step-Screenflow.article">Implementing Flexible UI One-Step-Screenflow</a> tutorial by Thilo Brandt or search here on SDN for "UI Command implementation" examples.

Normally, as you can see in the above mentioned <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/25/59bb2eece725498427334e0e21b80c/content.htm">Priority of Settings</a>, whenever the KM Navigation component (com.sap.km.cm.navigation) is opened without a specific layout set the global default layout set is used. As you can give this parameters by different ways (as URL parameter, in the KM Navigation iView configuration, via OTH file definition, hardcoded or configured in the configuration of an UI Command, etc.) it is nearly impossible to find all situation where your users will get this default profile.
The UI Commands (with selection) you mentioned like "copy","move","create_link" use the configured LayoutSet (ConsumerOnlyFolderSelector) from the KM Configuration (of the command).

One idea would be to use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/0f/764b87dfb948fcb13fd7695e157892/content.htm">Multiple Property Replacement</a> feature by SAP.

Of course. One other possibility I have in mind is to work with OTH files. You might also search here on SDN to see how to use them for setting the layout set for specific folder paths.
Hope this helps,

Create a Global Layout for Embargo Report

Hi,
Kindly advise on the below.
I am attempting to create a Global Layout for the "Export Embargo Report for BP" .
However, while attempting to save the same , the "user-specific" checkbox is turned on and grayed out.
Kindly advise on how to go about to save a Global Layout.
Thanks
Jasmit

Thanks Sameer , your understanding is correct.
However, even if I save the layout as a default one ( Default checkbox set) , it will be applicable only for my id.. I am looking to create a layout, which everyone will be able to access the layout as well..
Thanks

Segregation of global layout and user Specific for IW38 with Activity 23

Hi All,
We have issue that users are able to change the Global Layout in IW38 transaction codes, which is causing lot of confusion for other users. Please can anyone help me to do some investigation around how the access to Global Layout and User-Specific layout can be segregated.
We would like to achieve below things:
1)     Can we control provision access in such way users can only change layout specific to them?
2)     They should not be able to change Global Layout
3)     List of roles having Authorization object S_ALV_LAYO with activity 23.
If anyone already faced this issue, can you please let me know how they resolved it
Thanks in Advance.

Hi David,
> The standard S_ALV_LAYO object is, so far as I know, no use for normal day to day end users as it over-rides the restrictions?
It's up to the business, but ours wanted the managers to set a global layout for all other users to display only... as sort of a standard report. I agree with you in the challenge of determining who to give the long-term S_ALV_LAYO w/23 global maintenance access. We used to have this S_ALV_LAYO in every role that contained a report access (honest design mistake), hence that is why we created a separate role contained just S_ALV_LAYO w/ 23 access --> to managers only.
In our generic system role that is given to everyone, we have both S_ALV_LAYO (as blank) and F_IT_ALV (as 01, 02) so all non-manager users are able to create/save local layout & still view global layout.
F_IT_ALV activity 70 gives the authority to overwrite other's local layout (the "Manage Layout" access), so we only gave 01 and 02. Be careful here, as giving 03 (display) will make all other activities inactive.
Best,
Alice

Own Search Result Layout Set

Hi,
as following the document "How to remove the 'details' link from the search results page" (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/how to remove the details link from the search results page.pdf) we copied the SearchResultLayoutSet and renamed it.
Now we changed the own SearchResultCollection Renderer of FlexibleUI via the KM User Interface to fit our requirements.
To activate our own SearchResultLayoutSet we updated the file /etc/search.oth to use it instead of the standard one. It was necessary to reload the OTH with the following steps (EP6 SP2 Patch3):
- Activate UI Superusers (wdfproxy)
- Then a link Rendering Information within the Search page Results will be displayed.
- Clicking this the Debug info page opens, here the button "Reload OTH" was available.
- Clicking this, the OTH is reloaded and the new own layout set is activated.
Now, when we moved to patch 27. This procedure differs a little:
- Activate UI Superusers (wdfproxy)
- Then a link Rendering Information within the Search page Results will be displayed.
- Clicking this the Debug info page opens, here the button "Reload OTH" is not available anymore, instead there is a link "OTH Overview".
- Clicking this, the OTH overview with a "Reload" button appears.
- But clicking the reload button does not have the desired result: search.oth reloaded and the new own layout set is activated.
How can a own SearchResultLayoutSet be activated globally in the Search OTH? Is there another way with Patch 27?
Thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik,
I mean it appears most likely to be an error in the
location or contents of the search.oth file. If no
errors are showing up in the log, I would guess the
modified content is not being found. I think you need
to check some of your basic assumptions. Try looking
at the oth folder as a WebFolder and verify that the
file is there and has the expected content.
Another thing you might consider is making a different
oth change that you can verify is taking place to
check whether the oth is actually reloading.
Also, if somehow the search criteria in the oth file
are messed up, then it might silently (without an error)
just not work, since, although it would be properly
loaded into the oth, the critera would never get matched
at runtime.
I hope that gives you a couple of things to try to close
in on your problem.

Darin

Recent Notification iview and layout set.

Hi gurus,
When I open Recent Notification iview, appear different kind of links: feedback, subscriptions, subscribed items so on. When I press subscription link, is opened a new windows where I can see all my subscription.
For each subscription is shown:
Event Subscribed Item Subscription Owner
Item column is a link that allow me to open a new windows to see details of subscripted object.
My problem is that by default is using Consumer Explorer layout set.
Does anybody know how I can change this layout set ?
Thanks a lot,
Patricio.

Hi,
you have to modify the link which navigates to the navigation iView. To do so, you have to go to the KM configuration, to the global service > Urlgenerator Service. There you find a list of URL's. One is labeled with 'Navigation Servlet'. Here you can enter a different link. You can for example enter the link to the Admin Explorer, you can make a preview in the portal content directory to the Admin Explorer iView an copy the url from the browser and paste it into the URL Generator Configuration (the part beginning with irj).
This changes the links to folders in the recent notification, but I can not tell you, where else in the portal this link is used. Please be careful with this change.

Andreas

Layout Set not working

Hi all,
I am trying to fulfill a requirement here which is to hide the "Edit Header" control on the Banner iView. I found out that this is defined in the "Components" property in the HTML Collection Renderer Settings. When i omit the component on this property, the Banner iView hides the control. So far, so good.
Now, as i need 2 instances of the layout set (one with the component and other without) i did this:
1) Copied the layout set to a custom one
2) Copied the HTML Renderer to a custom one
3) Omitted the component on the custom HTML Renderer
4) Changed the renderer on the custom layout set to point to the new renderer
5) Copied the Banner iView and customized it on the property "Layout Setting", putting the name of the custom layout set.
And this won't work! When i use this iView, instead of showing the Banner and Title, it shows a KM navigation structure with the Images directory (base directory of Banners). Do you know what may be wrong? I am sure that the problem occurs when i change the iView property to point to the custom layout set. But what is wrong?

Hi all,
I've posted this yesterday and had no reply... can anyone help on this case? I've tried everything and nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance!

How to get a list of Layout Sets

Hi Experts,
How do I get a list of Layout sets in Portal ?
I am using a KM Navigation IView to show a list of External Links. I have used a copy of Links IView for this. The Layout set used here is "LinkListExplorer".
The problem with this layout set is it provides an option of Organize Entries to all End users. An end user might potentially delete a link or edit it due to this.
I want to get rid of Organize Entries feature in this IView, which I feel can be achieved only by changing Layout of the IVIew.
Please guide me to list of Layout sets or a way to maintain permissions for Links IView.
Thanks,
Yomesh.

System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management
then,
User Interface -> Settings -> Layout Set
You will see lots of layouts sets that you can use...

Search result category with a custom layout set?

Greetings,
I've created a nice little search IVIEW with a custom search options set that will display the document category (taxonomy) in the search result (if the resulting document is categorized, of course.) Works great. However there is one little problem. The categories in the search results are hyperlinked and when you select one, you get a new window with the taxonomy rendered in the default layout set (the ConsumerExplorer I think.) Not good. I need this displayed in a custom layout set.
Any ideas how to make this hyperlink use a custom layout set without changing the default?
Regards,
Paul Federighi

Hi Paul,
As per my knowledge of the basic s of layout sets and iviews.
You want to change the layout set of the iview(window) which opens when u click the hyperlink.
You should do this:
1)Make a new layout set by customizing the default one.
2)If the iview opening is a standard iview then go to its properties and change the Layout set value to ur new layout.
Please revert in case of issues.
I hope it helps.

In P6 web (8.3) Is there any way to migrate global layouts views from one database to another?

We have a customer that has global layouts in their dev version of the web. When they want to start their prod version of P6 8.3 web, do the layouts come over with the data migration? Is there any documentation out there?
Thanks,
Bob

That's in the client or professional. There is not a place to export layouts in the web.
