Use

In this IMG activity you can enter the personalization data of users in a personalization dialog either supplied by SAP or in one you created yourself. You enter the values that apply to the selected users for each personalization characteristic. The personalization dialog defines the entry screen for the data.

This form of collective processing is particularly useful for characteristics that are the same for many users (the current year would be an example). For characteristic values that are different for particular users, you can also use this IMG activity by entering individual users instead of user groups in the selection screen.

If you start collective processing for an individual user for whom personalization data had been entered in the past, then these characteristic values are also displayed in the personalization dialog. If you start collective processing for several users then the personalization dialog is displayed without the personalization data, because the individual characteristic values usually differ depending on the user.

Notes

  • In collective processing, no authorization check or existence check is made of the personalization data entered, so as not to impede performance. These checks are first made in the applications that use the personalization data for the selection.
  • If users enter their personalization data in the application themselves, this data counts as the entries that apply rather than the data entered here in collective processing. In this situation and unlike collective processing both an authorization check and an existence check is made.
  • If you want to enter personalization data under a particular application subcontext, the corresponding field is only displayed in the selection screen for collective processing if you have activated expert mode in the user parameters for your own user (under System -> User Profile -> Own Data -> Parameters: Parameter ID: FPB_PERS_EXPERT, Parameter Value: X).

Requirements

  • The users have been created.
  • Custom or standard SAP personalization dialogs exist.
  • You have activated expert mode in your own user parameters as necessary.

Standard settings

Activities

  1. Choose the personalization dialog you want to use to enter data.
  2. Enter the user or users for whom you want to enter the personalization data.
  3. Enter the application subcontext for which you want to enter the personalization data.
  4. Enter a time period. If you do not make an entry, the system assumes the largest possible time period (01/01/0001 to 12/31/9999).
  5. Specify whether you want the system to update only the data you entered or also the fields you left empty.
    • If you select Update Input Data Only, only the values that you explicitly enter are updated. Nothing is updated for the fields that you leave empty. Any data for these characteristics existing on the database is not changed.
    • If you select Update Initial Data Also, the values for the empty fields that are on the database are overwritten with the initial values.
  6. Choose Program -> Execute.

    The entry screen for the selected personalization dialog appears.

  7. Enter the personalization data and save it.
