global layout setting

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have a query on the default layout setting.

I could not create a global layout, only user specific layouts are allowed.

I found that we need to set authorization object S_ALV_LAYO with ACVT = 23 to maintain & change global setting.

But still it is not possible to create a global layout. The option with user specific is set and greyed out, so I cannot change it.

Hi,

You may have to give 02 as well under S_ALV_LAYO object and try again.

Hi Durga,

In S_ALV_LAYO, only 23 exists. There is no Activity 02.

Hi Priya,

As of Release 4.6C, authorization object S_ALV_LAYO is available with which you can control the authorization for display variant maintenance.If you would like to use or save the Excel view in your layout, you also require the additional authorization S_BDS_DS with activity 01,02,03,06,30; CLASSNAME ALVLAYOUTTEMPLATES and CLASSTYPE OT.Furthermore, there are applications that have their own authorization checks installed.

In some ALV lists, you can only save user-specific layouts. In these cases, the indicator "user-specific" is active , on a grey background and unable to be changed. This is related to the parameter I_SAVE. This controls which options you have to save the layout.To be able to define default layouts, the parameter I_DEFAULT must have the value 'X'.

Refer to SAP Note 409190 and 601803.

Thanks,

Hi Saby..

Can you advice where does this object I_SAVE & I_DEFAULT exists?

When I add them manually it says "Auth.object does not exists..."

Pls help. We are also in ECC6.0

Thanks,

Hi Priya,

The I_SAVE & I_DEFAULT are not authorization objects which you can add manually.These are parameters to which values can be passed & are coded in the program by developers.

Plz go thru the notes that i'd provided earlier.

Also, Chk out the following link which will be helpful.

Hi Pri

I dont think this is an object, I have already tried.

I also don't think that this is a PID that needs to be maintained on the UMR. The system does not recogise this.

Does anyone know where this object is maintained??

Hi

Has anyone managed to crack this issue yet?

I spent most of the day looking at this with a developer but did not make any progress.
