  • How to change the portal user id 's assigned employee in ESS configuration

    Hello Gurus,
        I now have a question related to ESS configuration. I want to know how to change the Portal user's pernr assignment in the ECC 6.0 system. Somebody had actually assigned my portal user ID a PERNR in the ECC 6.0 system. But now, for test purposes, I want to change the PERNR assignment to something else for my portal user id.
    Could any of you please guide me in doing these steps?
    Points will definitely be awarded for helpful answers.
    Thanks gurus in advance for your help.

    Hi Leena,
    You can create a new user name with the username and password assigned to it, with the transaction SU01.
    Ex : ESS_USER1
    Go to transaction code : PA30.
    Enter the pernr you want to assign to the user ESS_USER1 that you have created earlier.
    Enter infotype number : 105
    Now go ahead and click on the change button.
    And assign the user name as ESS_USER1.
    Then the pernr number will be assigned to the ESS_USER1 that you have created.
    You can check the same when you go to the HRUSER transaction code.
    Please let me know if you still have any issues on the same.
    Cheers.

  • How to setting the root user profile?

    It seems that I can't fine any complet manual to introduce how to setting the root user profile file which locate at /etc/profile? Who can help me find out or figure it out

    first /etc/profile is a global profile for the system
    its not only specific to root
    from here you can configure the system wide paths
    Regardless of the shell you are using, when you first log in your system generally runs the system profile file, /etc/profile. This file is generally owned by the system administrator and is readable (but not writable) by all users.
    After your system executes the system profile, it runs the user profile. The user profile is one (or more) initialization files that define your working environment. For example, if you're in the CDE environment your system checks this file (or set of files) each time you start a new terminal or window.

  • How to change the "root" password ?

    How can i change the root password on solaris 11. i tried it with "sudo passwd root ". and everthing should be ok, but i can´t login over ssh with the user "root " and the new password .
    Thank Chris

    Under Solaris 11 root is a role, not an account. This means that you cannot log into the machine as root. You have to log in using a different account and then gain privileges using su, sudo or pfexec. You can convert root to a normal account using the command:
    rolemod -K type=normal root
    however, root was made a role for legitimate security reasons. If you can avoid changing root to a normal account you should probably do so because it provides an additional layer of security for the rather overpowered root account.
    If you want ssh access to the converted root account, you also need to configure the ssh server to allow root logins by enabling the PermitRootLogins statement in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. Again, remember that doing this is loosening security on the root account.

  • How to change the sender user id of workflow

    Hi,
    From our system workflow three mails are sending to different recipients. Two mails are sending through WF-BATCH user and another one mail is send through ADMINU user. Now we want send other two mails also should send through ADMINU user only not by WF-BATCH.
    We know that WF-BATCH is the standard user provided by SAP will send mail through workflow. but how to change this user.
    In ECC 6.0 we could see the transaction SWNCONFIG to make changes for sender. But in 4.7 that transaction is not there.
    So could you please tell me, how to change sender of workflow mail from WF-BATCH to ADMINU.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Ajay

    Hello,
    What email address do these emails come from? What's different about the case where it comes from ADMINU?
    If you search this forum for WF-BATCH you'll see many similar questions.
    My response is to have a dummy foreground step beforehand assigned to the user that you want sending out the mails ; the next background task is usually run under the same username.
    regards

  • How to rename the root user?

    As title...
    Or, alternatively, how I can create an user with the same privilege as root (i.e., a user that can do EVERYTHING) renaming it as I like?

    Tread carefully - this guy may not know that's a joke. Also he may not know what rm does, so... What I'm trying to say is don't be a dick, even by accident. Telling people to rm -r / is a very bad idea, because they might actually go and do it, and then it's your fault.
    Yeah, even when considered a joke, it was a bad one ...

  • How to change the root domain name in window 2012 server

    Got a window 2012 server build up. My root domain name looks something like corp.marketing   Well I seems to have missed to add the last .com or .local.  How do I add the .com to my existing root domain name please. The server is new, will
    go online in few days time. Thanks for all the help.

    I have a similar question and not sure if this is the right place. I had set a server with corp.brighterworld.com but the install wizard anywhere access had me believe that microsoft's strongly preferred domain name prefix was remote.brighterworld.com so
    I contacted GoDaddy and had it reissued as remote. but when I went to reconfigure for the new name. I had already set the server for being a CA, and in that process it issued like 4 or 5 certificates. So I had tried to rebuild the machine from scratch, but
    the it didn't wipe everything, but rather saved previous state which left the old certificate stuff to be dealt with. Any hints or help out here for us having to learn this stuff the hard way?
    Thanks,

  • How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone?

    How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone? When I attempt to purchase an app or update the existing ones, the previous owner of this iphone has their information displayed and asks for the password as their user name is automatically prompted?

    The apps are tied to the account from which they were purchased.  If the apps were purchased from the previous owners account, then they would have to be updated from that account.  you should not have these apps anyway.  You need to buy your own.
    Read the manual.  it will tell you how to sign into your account to buy apps.

  • How to change the text of a user defined field in dynamic selections?

    Logical Database PSJ is used by t code CJI3 - we added a couple of user fields into the dynamic selections of CJI3.
    Now - how to change the text of this user filed (USR01 of structure PRSP_R in logical database PSJ)?
    Found an OSS note - 86980 - that tells that this is not possible.
    But when we read the documentation on the user field (CJI3 - dynamic selections  - double click on user field - F1), it shows the following text:
    User-defined field in which you can enter general information with a length of up to 20 characters.
    Dependencies
    The names (key words) for  user-defined fields depend on the field key.
    Now the question is where to change the field key..
    Thanks,
    Ven

    Madhu - you did not get the question I think.
    Anyways - I found an OSS note 1266643 - this code change should take care of the issue - it will then reflect the details maintained in custoizng at transaction code OPS1..
    Thanks,

  • How to change the order of users in appearance of login screen?

    Hello!
    Because we often switch to a user,
    which is listed last in login screen,
    we want move them to the second place.
    How to change the order of users in appearance of login screen?
    Thank you for a tip
    Erhy

    The order users show up on the login screen is the way they are ordered under the
    C:/Users directory. This is usually alphabetical, AFAIK there is no other way to change the order other than to change the username to something that starts with a letter that will be higher alphabetically.
