Use
In this IMG activity you can make the following settings for the personalization hierarchies:
- You can include additional personalization applications (meaning nodes in the hierarchy) in the SAP personalization hierarchy delivered.
- You can include new characteristics in the personalization applications delivered. You should note that in this case you have to adapt the personalization dialogs to make it possible to enter personalization data for the characteristics.
- You can create your own personalization hierarchies parallel to the personalization hierarchy delivered.
For general information on personalization hierarchies, see the SAP Library under Cross-Application Components -> Personalization -> Components of the Personalization Framework.
Requirements
Standard settings
The standard delivery for SAP ECC already contains standard personalization hierarchies. Hence, for example, the root nodes of the standard personalization hierarchy for applications in the Controlling environment are CO.
For all of the applications delivered in the standard system that require personalization data from the personalization framework as start parameters, corresponding personalization applications with the appropriate personalization characteristics are also delivered in the standard system. For these applications, only the personalization data still needs to be entered for the users (see personalization data: collective processing). You are not required to create your own personalization hierarchies, applications and characteristics.
Activities
- To create your own personalization application, choose New Entries in the view Personalization Hierarchy.
- You sort the personalization application in the existing personalization hierarchy by specifying the higher-level node of the hierarchy in the field Higher-Level Personalization Application. If you leave this field blank, you create the uppermost node (root node) of a new personalization hierarchy.
Make sure that you do not implement a circular hierarchy. Each hierarchy must have a root node, and the evaluation path of a hierarchy path must be unique from the lowest node to the root node.
- To include characteristics in a personalization application, select the personalization application in the view Personalization hierarchy and then choose Personalization characteristics.
- Enter the necessary data for the characteristic in the view Personalization characteristics. This is where you specify how personalization data for the characteristic is later displayed and entered in the personalization dialog. Amongst other things, you also specify here the personalization characteristiscs reference to the ABAP Dictionary.
