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 Variant for Report Trans

Hi All,
Is there a way to set a default Variant to a reporting transaction? for example for ME2N how do I set a default Variant to be imported to the selection screen automatically once the report transaction is called?
This is useful if the user uses the same variant all the time.
Thanks in advance!

Pls try the below example
I give you one example,
Enter t-code ME2N, Then click on Dynamic field selection button.
Then double click on created by field enter enter any user id in it.
Then click on save button.After click on this screen your can see one other screen for variant.
Here you have to assign variant name and meaning. You can also change field status for report with help of this screen.
Before click on save button, tick on protect check box button and then click on save.
Then exit from transaction and enter ME2N.
Click on Get variant button. Here you can see list of variant, select your variant and get report as per your requirement.

How to set default variant for selection screen

Hi,
I want to make one variant as default for selection screen for one user.
For eg., take COOIS. For the selection screen, i have 3 variants. But i want one variant to be default. Thsi is not for all users. Thsi is for particular user.

Thanks

Hi,
If you are using Z program then you can ask your developer to get Variant name Runtime from Parameter ID.
This means you decide a Parameter ID name : ZVAR in your Z program and ask your developer to load variant each time your Z program loads.
Now, second step will be using SU01 transaction you can set value of ZVAR in Parameters tab for the user. This value will be the variant which you created for this user.
This will solve your problem and you can make n number of variants and assign it to different users.

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?

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(?).

A variant is simply an SAP report where the parameters for running the report have been set by the user and then saved with unique name. This allows future retrieval and execution of the report faster without reentering the parameters. As a convention the variant name should start with with the digits 50 so searchs for LHU variants is easier and quicker.
The first link will guide you by screen shot wise.
Award points if it adds information.

I tried to set the "request.mandatorylanguage" and
"request.mandatorycountry" in prtDefault.properties but it didn't help.
Thanks,
Omri

Check out this thread and the link given there for more info: HOW to define the default language in the portal

As you suggested due to hardcoded values here , we could not able to do much on this.
So i came in round away solution. Whenever program A called ( program with TIME selection input) i have called another custom program C . (This custom program will using the following function module RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS, and RS_VARIANT_CHANGE , So get the DEFAULT variant content of program A and change the variant content with LOW as current time - 30 and HIGH with 24:59:59) as preceding job.
In PI 7.01 system program A always called in JOB mode

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:
