Adding text to the SAP QAS (client 300) logon/login screen, how?

[samnovice_new]

Hello,

I am trying to add text to the SAP QAS (client 300) logon/login screen, but I am little bit confused.. I followed the OSS note #205487 http://www.erpgreat.com/bc052.htm but I find this explanation littlr confusing because it doesn't state anything where should I first login, on DEV or QAS? If it is first on DEV it doesn't states how to transport to QAS. I tried to do it directly on client 300 but I receive message:

"Changes to Repository or cross-client Customizing are not permitted.
Choose 'Display object' or 'Cancel'."

I need a simple steps how to do this exactly or some better explanation.

Many thanks in advance for prompt replies!

Cheers;)

Problem solved via transaction SM02 and system message which is client dependent.

You need to make the changes in the Development system

You need to have the following setting in the client "Changes to repository and cross-client customizing allowed"  under cross-client object changes.

To transport from development create a workbench request and add the object

R3TR DOCT ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO

You can then transport the request to the subsequent systems.

Hello Ratnajit,

Thank you very much for prompt and helpful reply!

You need to have the following setting in the client "Changes to repository and cross-client customizing allowed"  under cross-client object changes.

How exactly will I activate option under cross-client object changes? What transaction I have to use? Can I retrieve this option after I achieve my goal (adding text on logon screen)?

To transport from development create a workbench request and add the object
R3TR DOCT ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO

This part I understand because I can follow this useful instruction from link I mentioned above.

"Go to Transaction SE61 and select the document 'General text' (selection via F4 help), and create a text with the name ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO in the language defined with profile parameter zcsa/system_language.  Parameter zcsa/system_language usually have been done in (tcode - rz10 - instance profile - extended maintenance) by the basis administrator during SAP installation."

Thank you.

You need to login to the development system . Use tcode SCC4 , go to change mode .

Select the client where you do the ABAP developments .

Then change the setting to under cross-client object changes to

"Changes to repository and cross-client customizing allowed"  from the drop down.

I believe your development system client will have this setting .

You can then work with the login screen text in SE61.

Thanks Ratnajit!

It's a lot easier now, and as you have assumed development system client already have this setting "Changes to repository and cross-client customizing allowed". Next I have go to DEV and instructions from http://www.erpgreat.com/bc052.htm and I was able to to everything as described but I am not sure where to choose client 300, because I want this message to be only visible on client 300? I don't want to see this message when I logon to 200 or 400 client, only 300. Where can I define this?

All the best,
Sam

It is not client specific . When you see the login screen (where you see the text displayed), you are actually not logged into any client . Hence you cannot have it client specific.

Better you can add in the text anything specific to that client .

Not sure I quite understand. I will try to explain what exactly I need so we could check am I on the right track;) When I first open SAP logon icon on my PC, I see three choices/clients I can logon

200 client
300 client
400 client

When I double click on 300 client, new small window pops-up asking me my credentials. At this point I would like to see warning message on the right side of username/passwords boxes which states something like this "Warning! You are trying to logon on test 300 client."

When I double click on 400 client, new pop-up windows shows asking me to enter my credentials but I don't want to change anything here.. Please see image bellow so you could see what I want:

I believe they are for different systems.

Can you check the properties for each entry .

Are they same ??

Regards

Ratnajit

[samnovice_new]

Yes, the are for different system each.

Not sure what I need to check, every of these three entries (200/300/400) have ofcourse different SAP logon data so when you logon to 300 you are connected to QAS server, when 200 you are on DEV server etc.

So , please login to DEV 200 and do the changes and transport to QAS 300 and finally to production.

Regards

Ratnajit

[samnovice_new]

Ok, I can do that, that want be a problem, I will set message of this type: "Warning! You are trying to logon on test 300 client."

After I transport it to QAS and PRD from DEV, this message will be visible on pop-up window for logon on client 300 only, or it will be also visible for 200/400 pop-up windows?

Greetings,
Sam

[former_member189725]

It will be visible to in all.

So best , you put the information of all clients in the same page

If you are logging into client 200 , its development system

If you are logging into client 300 , its test system

If you are logging into client 400 , its production system

Something like above.

Regards

Ratnajit

I am glad we understand each other and you now what I want now.

But, I am looking for solution that warning message will be shown only on pop-up window when user chooses client 300, exactly like this:

If you have any idea how to achive this, any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks,

Sam,

You will need to do this activity three times. 

First, make the change in your development system stating what you want to have appear in your production system and create a transport.  Release the transport and import it to your test and then production systems.

Second, make the change again in your development system, but this time with the text you want to have appear in your test system.  Create a new transport for this, release it, and import it to your test system.  Do NOT import it to your production system (delete it from your QA worklist so it doesn't get imported there by accident later).

Third, make the change again in your development system, this time with the text you want to have in your development system.  Don't release this transport; don't import it to any other system.

Best regards,

Matt
