Personalisation Of language for selected users

Hi,
Is it possible to change the language settings, for some users by using some scipt or manually(by the end user)? By default the language taken up by the portal is the browsers language, but I want to change the language to a few users. I am not sure about Internationalisation concept being used here, is it possible to make changes through it on netweaver active and running portal without disturbing the other users?
I have refferred to the service note <a href="https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=947081">947081</a> but unable to move any further.
Please assist.

There is a language field within the portal's user administration dialogue. In my environment this is blank by default but I am able to choose a specific setting on a per-user basis. I authenticate users via LDAP and Windows Integrated Authentication/Kerberos tickets from an Active Directory database but even users defined here can have a portal specific language defined. When I changed my language from English to Japanese, the logoff dialogue box text was written in Japanese characters rather than English.
I wish to avoid administering users directly in the portal and to keep all administration in AD (single point of control). Therefore, I do not want to have to manually change a Japanese user's language setting. If this is picked up from the Windows/Browser language setting then I'm happy. If not, there is a "language" attribute defined in the "Reference Documentation for User Management" section of "Identity Management of the Application Server Java" at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/3a/4a0640d7b28f5ce10000000a155106/frameset.htm
I suspect that it is possible to map an AD attribute to the Java "language" attribute to set this. This would be done in the "dataSourceConfiguration....xml" file and UME configuration processes. The challenge might be to find an appropriate AD attribute to contain the correct value (with the correct syntax) for the NWJava attribute. Of course, it might also be possible to modify the logon code of the portal to select any AD attribute and map it directly but I have absolutely no experience of how to do this.

Acrobat Reader 11 MUI : Impossible to change Language for Final user.

Hello,
I need to deploy AdbeReader on several PC.
On my enterprise, we have several language (english, french, deutch...)
I have configure MSI package with Adbe Customization Wizard. But on this tool we cannot choose "Set the language to the OS language..." By defaut, I choose English.
I have read on Adobe Reader document that by default, for MUI, we need to put 1 to this reg key :
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\(product)\(version)\Language\UseMUI\
In my case, it's ok.
But, when I install Adobe Reader with my mst file, application stay in english (even if I use a french computer).
And, if I try to change manually the language it does'nt works. Choose at application startup does'nt too. I have never the popup to choose the language.
Someone can help me ?
Many thanks !

Adobe Properties — Enterprise Administration Guide
Language 11 & later SUPPRESSLANGSELECTION MUI installers only. The default of 1 does the following:
Sets the language to the OS language for all users.
Disables the language selection dialog on application startup for any user.
Sets HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\(product)\(version)\Language\UseMUI\bUserMUI to 1
This is particularly useful for multiuser installations where the language selection dialog would normally appear if a different user logs in, Citrix installations, and so on.
A value of 0 results in the language selection dialog appearing at first launch for every newly logged in user of the machine. For Acrobat this property is not applicable. When Acrobat is installed with MUL serial number and LANG_LIST=ALL, the launch language would be the same as OS language unless a language transform is also applied.

Need to give REVOKE CLOSE option in CO02 only for selective users

Hello,
Need to Restrict Revoke Close Option in Tcode CO02 (Under Functions - Restrict Processing - Revoke Close) through Role/Object Level. Can any one suggest how to control this . Need to give access for CO02 for 5 Users , but only 2 Users can able to do Revoke Close Option , other 3 Users should not able to do this activity.
BR,
Murali

There is no authorization object as B_USERSTAT_T , but there is a authorization object as B_USERSTAT . I tried to create a Temporary Role and manually assigned this Object . In this object there is no way to control REVOKE Close option .
But there is one way noted in Google to restrict Revoke Close option .
1.Goto BS22
2.Select the system status TEC0 (I0045) & just duble click it,
3.Maintain the Revoke technical completion (BUTA) =Forbidd (not allowed),
But if i set the above Parameter , this will restrict Revoke Option for all the users . I need to control ONLY for selective users . I can set some value in user data for those users , based on that i can write some coding to restrict , but i want to know where to write this code .... I tried in some area , but it never works.
Can any one give some idea to fix this issue.

Do I can create a page who is locked just for selected user?

Do I can create a page who is locked just for selected user?

The manner how you put files on the server is unimportant.
It's the Webserver (usually Apache) itself that does the protecting.
So either use the control panel where you host your website, or use the method explained on the page I linked to.
Should look like this (on the left) :
Your visitor will see this :
http://home.wyodor.net/protect/
Use : root/root

How to add folder from KM content to Portal Favorites for selected users

Hi all,
I have cretaed a folder in KM content (In documents) for uploading implementation related ddocuments.
how to add this folder in "Portal Favorites" of selected users only.
Please guide.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
well one way could be the following.
Go into KM-Content --> Repository "userhome" --> select the user you want --> navigate into his folder Favorites --> create a new internal link in this folder to the folder you want
In the favorites of the user there is now a link to the desired folder and after clicking a new window will be opened. You can copy this internal link to the favorites folder of the other users you want.

Disabling external sharing in OneDrive for Business for selected users

Hello,
I have a requirement to disable external sharing option in OneDrive for Business for a few user and allow external sharing for a selected users. Is this possible?
What I know is, we can enable or disable external sharing for all the users who use OneDrive for business by configuring Sharing option for My site collection at "xxx-my.sharepoint.com". But I want to know is if it is possible to handle this at
user level by doing changes to "xxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/user_domain.com" site collection.
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Thanks Vasil for your reply. Yes, as you mentioned, removing edit option or admin access is not the right solution for my requirement. I just want to know why My site collection is tightly coupled with personal site collections. Many users will use OneDrive
to store data and share it with others internally and externally. So, as a security measure there should be some option to enable this only for a specific users. Hoping someone will give me idea to achieve this.

Change NWA language for single user

Hello, gurus!
The question is stated above: how can I change NWA interface language only for single user?
Users in our BPM system are fetched from Active Directory therefore I cannot change (as they advise) user for my user from NWA. It is inactive.
Is there any other solution?

It shows that users are stored in LDAP.
Also I'd like to draw your attention to language preferences in my browser
Desirable language (English) is specified as recommended in guidelines, but NWA nevertheless is showed in Russian as you can see.

Mass password change for selective User id's ?

Hi,
    Thanks to answer for my last question, really appreciated your help.
My new question:
1.   If I create Mass User Id's by using SU10, pwd's are generated automatically. Is there a way to pick a pwd e.g initpass for all ?
2.   Is there any program available which can be used to reset pwd's for several User Id's as   initpass or something like that ?
Please help. thnx in advance.
Syd.

You can also create an ABAP program which can be used to mass change users passwords.
Here are the functions that will do what you need
SUSR_GENERATE_PASSWORD - Generates a Password
BAPI_USER_CHANGE - You can use this BAPI to change just the password of a user
Here is an example of some abap code. There may be some syntax errors and possible other issues. I just typed this out and didnt check it. Hope this helps

Is it possible to setup a different language for the user account?

Hi,
My server is in English but many of my users will use French.
Can I setup in WGM a different language (international) for the user?

The settings are changed in at least three locations for a user account. Changes are made to ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.HIToolBox.plist, and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.HIToolBox.<MACAddress>.plist. There are a lot of keys in there that get changed and might vary between 10.4.x and 10.5.x -if you have a mixed OS environment. So while you you may be able to import the first two into WGM, the last one might be the most trouble as it's machine specific.
If you gave access to the 'International' System Prefpane, it wouldn't affect anything but the student account since their prefs are saved to a network location or to their local PHD account. Changes would revert to whatever the system default preferences were on logout. Those would be the prefs in /Library/Preferences.
The 'International' System Prefpane has many listings for the other language choices that are installed on the system which could be a source of confusion for student users. Removing those resources, using certain tools like MonoLingual, can make certain software behave badly or even make the system unusable. Use with caution.

Override User Restrictions (N Characters) for select users in BOXI R2

We have a requirement to display Crystal Reports passed from BMC Remedy Mid-Tier to BMC Remedy AR Web Report Viewer to BOXI. The AR Web Report Viewer will only pass along 11 characters of the password and the BOXI system is set to require a minimum of 15. Is there a way to override the application set 15 character user restriction for 1 user?
Thank you for your assistance.

You can't override this for a single user. N characters is applicable to all Enterprise accounts. However there is a trick to create a user account with a password that is less than 15 characters. You can lower the number of required characters to 11, create the user account and then change the number back to 15. Make sure that for this particular user you uncheck the feature that you need to change the password at first logon. Changing the number back to 15 will have no effect on already existing user accounts that have a password which is less then 15 characters.
Hope this helps...

Install Japanese language for MAC users

I have found several websites that tell how to install Japanese language software with PC.
But I have never found one for MAC.
Please somebody help me... I am a MAC user and need to make my BB 8330 able to show Japanese...
Thanks.

Unfortunately at this time all software updates have to be done using a PC. Unless you have Parallels or other type of software that you can use to load Windows OS on your Mac. Then you can do the upgrade

In FB60, Vendor address info getting displays in 2 languages for 2 users

Hi All,
Can anyone please provide solution for this issue....
In XK03, the vendor address showed in English and japan (Address in Japan language was maintained in internat. versions tab in the same screen) language.
At the time of booking invoice (Fb60 or MIRO), one user getting vendor address in English and with the same parameters (i'e, vendor no. & invoice date etc..same) another user was tried in his log in, he got the vendor address in Japan language.
I was checked in ADRC Table and Vendor master data also, i haven't find any mistake in this areas.
It may happend because of user parameters. I was checked both users parameters.
Now user wants to see the vendor address (FB60) in their local language (Japan) .

Hi Prasad,
In su3 / su01 of the user; there is Tab maintained as "company" at the botton of the page under the Address Tab...
If that is maintained as "Company address - please maintain / /" and the Logon Language under defaults is "EN" then the user
gets the Vendor displayed in English............
AND if the field Company is maintained as "*** Users Country (Japan)" and the Logon Language under defaults is "EN" then the user gets the Vendor displayed in japanese.
You need to change the company by clicking on "Assign Other Company address" above Company Tab...
