Set default timezone for users

Hello all,
I am looking a for a way to set the default timezone of a user on the Portal. What needs to be done is to read the user's local time on the pc and set the timezone on the Portal accordingly. Does SAP provide any solution for the same?
I am aware that this can be achieved through custom development, but would like to check if anyone has faced similar issues before and if there exists a standard solution from SAP that I can implement.
Thanks,
Sudha

Here is the problem though. Our employees are all over the globe and travel all over the globe. We use an LDAP as the UME source. Setting the default time zone via either of those method will blanket apply to all users. This leaves there UWL items in the wrong time and their KM content in the wrong time, sometimes indicating that something posted just minutes ago was actually posted "Yesterday".
I think what we need ultimately is a client aware solution. Perhaps a java program that gets the users client or browser time and updates their time zone in the UME on the fly.
Anyone know of such a solution?

How do I change the default timezone for user calendars?

The default timezone for new calendars is "America/New_York." How
do I change the default timezone to my local timezone?
To change the default timezone, perform the following steps:

<OL>
<LI>Go to the bin/data/default_user_prefs.xml
file.

<LI>In this file, change the values for the
"icsTimeZone" and
"ceSingleCalendarTZID"
parameters. The default settings will appear something as follows:


Changing these two parameters will change the timezone in the Calendar user
interface.

<LI>In addition, go to the
bin/config/ics.conf file.

<LI>In this file, change the value for
calstore.default.timezoneID

Changing this value will enable the server to pick up the new timezones.
</OL>

Please note: The values you enter for the above parameters must be valid
timezones defined in the
bin/data/timezone.ics
file.

Colin,
You may substitute any text you like for the "Placeholder Text", as it is called, in Pages. Click on the existing placeholder text and type something more to your liking. Do this in as many places as your particular template of interest demands. Then, Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text. Lastly, File > Save as Template.
Now that you have defined a Custom Template to your liking, you can go to Pages Preferences and under the General tab's first section, define the new custom template as your default for each new document.

Set default variant for user in ME5A

Hi gurus,
It's possibile to set a default variant for the ME5A transaction for a user? Which parameter I must use in SU01?
Thanks
regards.

There's a way to add entries to that table.
Go to the table ESDUS through SE16N and activate the editing mode by entering &SAP_EDIT in the command field. It will give you information message in the bottom "SAP editing function activated" ("Maintain entries" check box will be visible).
Let us examine the ABAP code for the program behind ME5A
DATA: l_action LIKE esdus_s-action VALUE 'RM06BA00'.
CALL FUNCTION 'ME_SET_REPORT_USERVARIANT'
   EXPORTING
     im_report           = l_report
     im_esdus_action     = l_action
     im_standard_variant = l_variant.
MOVE l_action      TO my_esduscom-action.
MOVE 'USERVARIANT' TO my_esduscom-element.
MOVE sy-slset      TO my_esduscom-active.
Stay in SE16N and in the field "Act." enter RM06BA00 and execute. You'll see all the users who executed the ME5A (a.k.a program RM06BA00) and the default variant SAP selects is "SAP&STANDARD" which is a system variant, in the "Active" field. Change that value to what user want to be defaulted. Keep the value 'USERVARIANT' in the El. field. Click save on the top. It will popup a window records inserted, deleted, changed. Just hit enter.
Now whenever the user executes it will be defaulted to whatever you rewrote in the table.
Caution: Do not use &SAP_EDIT with other tables especially which share common primary keys it can serious problems in your database.

Setting Default Preferences for All Users in Crystal Reports Server 2008 v1

We are currently looking to set the default preferences in the CMC for all of our users.
I did locate this page Link: [How to set default preferences for all users in Infoview 3.1/CRS 2008]
The first part of the thread did seem promising but I am unable to find the sample .jsp code that people recommended.
I would assume that this scenario is common enough that someone knows a way to set universal preference defaults.
Thank you

I thought I could just run it too but when I attempt to I get a Windows Script Host error:
Script: C:\User Prefs.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: Expected statement
Code: 800A0400
Source: Microsoft VBScript compilation error.
I noticed the first most line seems to be markup for a web interface though I am not familiar with vbs so I may be wrong. I used the publishing wizard to put the script on the CMC to attempt to run it through the CMC but it still does not work.

Set default value for parameter fields

Good day!
Situation:
1. I have 2 parameter fields in reports (dateFrom and dateTo)
2. Before running report in ASP.NET I change value this fields (dateTo = today, dateFrom = today - 3 days)
3.I use for this source:
foreach (ParameterField crParam in CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.ParameterFields)
                        CrystalDecisions.Web.Parameter crParametr = new CrystalDecisions.Web.Parameter();
                        string ParametrName = crParam.Name;
                        crParametr.Name = ParametrName;
                          crParametr.DefaultValue = ActionReportParameter.GetParametrValue(ReportName, ParametrName);
                         CrystalReportSource1.Report.Parameters.Add(crParametr);
4. And repurt run without request value parameter fields.
5. BUT!!! now I need request value parameter fields before report start running - I want set default values for filelds and offer user change its before report start run.
How do this?
Thanks

I believe you need to create your own parameter promt screen. Capture what the user entered and pass that to the report(?).

How to set default language for Portal?

Hi All,
We use EP6.
Default language is not defined and therefore is being set by the browser's language.
Where do I set default language for all users?
(I don't want that the users will be able to change it by themselves by browser/EU role).
I tried to set the "request.mandatorylanguage" and
"request.mandatorycountry" in prtDefault.properties but it didn't help.
Thanks,
Omri

Hi Omri,
are those to parameters
request.defaultlanguage=...
request.defaultcountry=...
set in the prtDefault.properties, and the J2EE Server restarted after the change?
Check out this thread and the link given there for more info: HOW to define the default language in the portal

Hi,
According to your description, you want to set default value for TaxonomyWebTaggingControl.
I have a test in my environment. It could be achieved by setting the Text Property of TaxonomyWebTaggingControl.
Here is the code snippet:
TaxonomySession session = new TaxonomySession(SPContext.Current.Site);
SPSite site = SPContext.Current.Web.Site;
TermStore termStore = session.TermStores["Managed Metadata Service"];
Group group = termStore.Groups["GroupA"];
TermSet termSet = group.TermSets["A"];
Term term = termSet.Terms["A1"];
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.SspId.Add(termStore.Id);
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.SSPList = termStore.Id.ToString();
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.TermSetId.Add(termSet.Id);
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.TermSetList = termSet.Id.ToString();
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.AllowFillIn = true;
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.IsAddTerms = true;
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.IsMulti = false;
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.Text = string.Format("{0}|{1}", term.Name, term.Id.ToString());
Here is a detailed article for your reference:

How to set default values for boolean columns

Type="Boolean" Hidden="FALSE" Group="Columnas ShaCon" >
<Default>TRUE</Default>
</Field>
and at content type level:
<FieldRef ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DefaultValue="TRUE" Required="TRUE" />
But in any case, when i create a new item with this content type, default value is applied.
Can anyone tell how to set default values for boolean columns?
Thanks in advance,

How to hide PNP selection windows and set default values for PNP.

Hi expert,
I am using HR logical database PNP, but I don't want to display selection windoes for running program on PNP, whereas I want to set default value for some selection items in the program. could you please tell me how to get those two targets?
Many Thanks,

Hi
You have mentioned 2 things.
1. Don't want selection windows for running program for PNP - this can be achieved using the HR Report category - You can get more details on HR Report Category on
HR Report Category
2. I want to set default value for some selection items - This you need to achieve in initialization event of your program.
How you can get this can be explained by INITIALIZATION (SAP Library - ABAP Programming (BC-ABA))

Extending flash: how do I set default values for filenames

Hi,
I am trying to set default values for filenames
<choosefile> and <popupslider>s that will show up when
my XMLpanel first loads in my jsfl extension file. It seems that I
can only set default values for textbox items.
How do I do this for filenames and popups?
As a workaround, I also tried using a flash object dialog box
to look like a <choosefile>, or any jsfl command, but then
how do I return those values back to the XMLpanel that calls them.
and pass the data back to my jsfl script.
lemme know if you know a way,

Create two constants for the Allocate Mode input (right click > create > constant). Place one in the true case of the case structure, and place the other one in the false case. Wire them to the same tunnel (border of the case structure), then wire the tunnel to the Allocate Mode terminal of the AO Config. I don't have Traditional DAQ installed, but that should do it.
