How to set Portal to default language English, independend from SU01

466 Views

Hi,

On our BW Portal environment we have a serious issue which makes execution of webreports and Visual Composer reports impossible for those users who are assigned to a language different from English in their user attributes in BW. (transaction SU01 in BW GUI)

The portal is automatically taken over these language settings and as as result all menu's and structures in the Portal are displayed in this language. Our real problem starts when these users are then trying to open a webreport or a Visual Composer application. The following error messages are issued :

The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:

Select one of the installed languages

com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (102) RFC_ERROR_COMMUNICATION: Select

one of the installed languages

As you can see, the JCO connector to BW is failing which means no data can be fetched from BW. When we assign these users manually to English in SU01 the problem is gone. Ofcourse this is not a solution as the users are coming over via CUA where they are defined with their local languages.

We are looking for a solution that makes it possible to overrule the language settings from user level. So a setting on Portal-side should be made that makes sure that the portal is always launched in English only. This will solve our problem and is in line with our BW policy : on our BW server itself we also only have the English language active.

Any ideas

thanks
