How to override a text symbol of a componentcontroller?

[former_member188032]

WD4A HRECM00_PLANNING_OVERVIEW has text symbol E01 maintained for the controller.

The end-user wants to change the text for this text symbol from "Planning Overview for" to "Budget Overview for".  How do I go about changing this text without creating a modification?

I apologize if this is a basic question but I have minimal experience in this area.  Thank you.

Hi Joyce,

Hope you are working in a FPM application. Run your application in Admin mode by following the below steps.

1. Go to your FPM component and choose your application in SE80. Now in the top most task bar, you can see an option 'Web Dynpro Application'. Click and choose the option -> Test - In Browser - Admin mode.

2. Your application starts open and right click on the required field. You will see a option as 'Settings for Current Configuration'. Choose it and change the existing text to your new text.

On saving the application, you can catch those changes in your TR and move to other landscapes too.

BR,

RAM,

I actually thought about doing as you described.  The application takes the E01 text (Planning Overview for) and concatenates it with the user's name, so in the UI, the employee sees "Planning Overview for John Doe".  I was concerned that doing the Administrative Customizing as you described would save the text with my name and that would be what everyone would see.  I did not try this yet but I'm pretty sure that is what will happen.  I think I need to "override" the E01 text before the concatenation takes place and I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

Thank you.

Joyce,

Then in that case you need to debug and analyze the code. There is no other way.

But before that, just try to add the new text through customization and test it once. If it is not working with conjunction of user name, then you may adopt for the code change through enhancement in WDC.
