User-Specific Report Variants

Hi,
is there an easy way to assign a user-specific report variant without modifying the report or create own transactions. For example by assigning the report variant somehow to the user-parameter?
Thanks for your help,
Andreas

Hi,
Maybe you could play with the GET PARAMETER ID ...
Or maybe you could create a program that start the real program after selecting the default variant of the user. After you call the program with this variant.
SUBMIT REPORT01
       VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
       USING SELECTION-SET 'VARIANT1'
       USING SELECTION-SETS OF PROGRAM 'REPORT00'
       AND RETURN.

Copying user specific reporting variants to other users

Hi,
Does anyone have experience in copying user saved variants to other users?
We'd like to create a few complex variants for reporting and then distribute them to all of our users.
Thanks!

Hi,
In reports input Screen you have this option,
In selection screen you can find, Save as a New varient, give some name and save , don't select Save as User Varient and save it.
Note: Check with the select Save as User Varient & Use as default Varient options.
Thanks

User specific default variant in a selectio screen

Is it possible to provide an option to create user specific default variant in a selection screen?
I have developed a custom report program. Now I want to allow users to choose one of their variants as default variant ? Please help.

Hi very Simple and easy solution:
In SE93 when u are creating the transaction for the program use the option 'Start with variant' and give your own vaiant name for the program start. This will help you in starting your proam always with your default variant.
Hope That Helps

Copy user-specific report layouts (table LTDX)

Hi,
We are implementing a "Single Sign On" solution and thus we need to
copy all the SAP users to adapt their names to "windows user names".
We copy all the user data and authorizations from SU01 but then we must
copy too all the other user-dependent things. One of them are user-
specific report layouts. We can copy the report variants because they
are not user-dependent but is there any way to copy the user-specific
layouts (table LTDX) from one user to another? Is there any transaction
or report for it?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Jon Larrucea

Hi,
Try This Program
report copy_layout.
data : lt_ltdx like ltdx occurs 0 with header line.
data : lt_ltdxt like ltdxt occurs 0 with header line.
parameters report like ltdx-report obligatory.
parameters report2 like ltdx-report obligatory.
"copy layout of report to report2.
start-of-selection.
select * into table lt_ltdx from ltdx
                where report = report.
select * into table lt_ltdxt from ltdxt
                where report = report.
loop at lt_ltdx.
    lt_ltdx-report = report2.
    modify ltdx from lt_ltdx..
endloop.
loop at lt_ltdxt.
    lt_ltdxt-report = report2.
    modify ltdxt from lt_ltdxt..
endloop.

User Specific Transaction Variant

Hi,
Can i please have guidelines for Transaction variant creation, specially user specific transaction variant creation along with example?
Regards,
Samir Wadajkar

Dear
Please see this wiki for useful :http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Transaction%20Variant%20-%20A%20Step%20by%20Step%20Guide%20for%20Creation
OR
Go to SHD0
Enter the transaction code - Enter the transaction variant YXXX under transaction variants tab
Create - the transaction variant. When you back after creating .... Save all the screens and do a syntax check - this will take you to different screen - Just execute and come back
You should now be in SHD0 with your transaction code as well as transaction variant.
Now, go to 'GOTO' on application tool bar - Create transaction variant. Do not check 'Inherit GUI attributes' under classification and check all under GUI SUPPORT
Execute your newly create Ytransaction
Go back to SHD0 again and repeat the same process but enter different name than previous one. do the exact same process.
Create new transaction which means enter different transactio name like if the previous one is yxxx1 ... create this as yxxx2.
You can take the standard transaction from every user or who you dont want to give by removing the authorization from user master (talk to security people)
Hope this will be usefull

How to define a specific report variant execution in Area Menu

For report REP01, for exemple, with a selection screen, I defined a variant with specific options, named VAR_SPEC1, to be used by a certain group of persons.
Now I created the Area Menu ZMSPEC1, and I need to associate to it an entry to execute program REP01 via variant VAR_SPEC01. How can I do it?
I saw that the program REP01 already has already defined a report transaction (ZEXREP01, for ex.), but if I use this transaction in the Area Menu, I will not use my variant...
I was looking to the different types of transactions that can be defined, but I am a bit lost.
Thanks in advance.
Davide

Hello,
I am still a bit lost about the easier (or better) way to associate to the new Area Menu the execution of a non-local program with selection-screen, using some predefined options (hidding some fields, predefining others...).
Can someone be more specific?
I guess the necessary elements are:
1) non-local program REP01;
2) core report variant VAR_DEFAULT, for program above.
3) new local variant VAR_SPEC1, for program in 1)
4) ...
5) ... some solution to link both parts...
6) ...
7) Area Menu ZMSPEC1, with a new item to call the execution of REP01 with variant VAR_SPEC1.
Any ideas? many thanks!

User Specific Display Variants

Hi
Were on ECC 6.0 and when I choose to create and save a display variant from and ALV screen the user-specific box is ticked and I can not un-tick it because its grayed out - no matter what we do we can not un-tick this checkbox. We need to create global display variants so that all user can use these display variants.
Is there a configuration setting that we can adjust ?? any suggestions to overcome this problem are welcome.
Thanks

Hi Eric,
I'm a bit busy now and I cannot give you a complete solution, but sure can give you some c(l)ue. Just see if you have some success. If you do not, then i wuill get back to you later.
Refer to the follwoing SAP Tables and see if you have some luck.
==========================================================
LTDX --> Generic storage of display variants
LTDXD --> Default display variants
LTDXS --> SAP Default Display Variants
LTDXT --> Display variant texts
==========================================================
The idea is to try and manipulate the table entries for various users.

Automating user specific Report packs

We have a requirement to produce report packs by email. It has to be sent to a list of users and include a cost centre report and a salary report. I have created a web template that includes the 2 reports. The issue is that each recipient should only see the data for the cost centres and employees they are responsible for directly and indirectly.
So currently I can send out the reports using the broadcaster, however this will send the same report to everyone. We need each user to only see the cost centres and employees that they manage. I wanted to know if any one else come up with this type of requirement and how they solved this.
We dont really want to set up the broadcaster for each user, there could be hundreds. Any help greatfully aprreciated and will be rewarded with points.
regards,
Sanjay

If it's any consolation, this functionality exists in 2004s (formerly known as BI 7.0),

Control User Specific button in ALV report

Hi,
Can anybody please suggest me how to control "USER SPECIFIC" button in ALV report layout using authorization object. I mean if you can tell me which authorization object is responsible to control the "USER SPECIFIC" button.

additional info to what Lakshmi already said:-
normally the restrictions for saving layouts/display variants are done at 2 levels:
1) The developer of an ALV list first predetermines the authorization in the 'i_save' parameter within the code.
I_SAVE = ' '     -
layouts cannot be saved
I_SAVE = 'A'   -
user-specific and cross-user layouts can be saved
I_SAVE = 'X'   --- cross-user layouts can be saved
I_SAVE = 'U' --- user-specific layouts can be saved
2) The second level comes to us restriciting the S_ALV_LAYO which gives access to users to save global layouts if I_SAVE for that particular transaction is A or X.
for example, a report has I_SAVE= 'A', which means
it will allow to save User-specific layouts without any restrictions.
and if user has S_ALV_LAYO then he can save both User-Specific and Global Layouts(variants).
it would be better to keep this object separate.

User-specific Selection Variables in Variants

Hi,
I am triing to follow the tutorial in the help.sap.com concerning the variants.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/c0/980386e58611d194cc00a0c94260a5/frameset.htm
I would like to create a User-specific Variables for a variant.
I created set/get param for my report, I also created entries in the user master record. But: In the variants maintenance tool (SE38). First I edit the attributes of my variables and choose the selection variable option for some fields. Second I highlight in green the user specific column stoplight. But clicking F4 doesnt propose any value. Then saving doesnt work neither.
Thank you,
Younes

Umar,
When I click on the button save a modal popup it says "Variables not supplied with values. Save anyway?". I dont know how to supply the variables with values.
With the Function module VARI_USER_VARS_GET I am not able to Read existing variable values. Also in the selection screen of my report the menu Goto -> User variables is not enabled. Maybe I am missing something? Could you help me.
Thanks,
Younes
