SAP Screen Personas: Profile Wide Settings
SAP Screen Personas allows users to personalize screens. Often people do this on a screen by screen basis. But, Personas also allows Admins to make a change available for all the screens on a system using Profile Wide Settings.
This allows admin to enforce any common setting for the UI elements. We call this functionality as Profile Wide Settings/Global Settings. For any system, Personas Admin can make Profile Wide Settings for either a User OR a Group.
Personas offers Profile Wide Settings of three different types:
- Control Specific Profile Settings: Setting for any particular Control. E.g. “SAVE” button should always have a green background color.
- Type Specific Profile Settings: Setting for any control of specific type. E.g. All “button” should have a yellow background color.
- Global Text Replacement: Setting to replace any existing text with a replacement text. E.g. The word “SAP Easy Access” appearing in the screen should always be replaced with “MENU”.
Personas admin can configure Profile Wide Setting from transaction /n/persos/admin_ui.
Expand “Profile Wide Settings”:
Let’s go through an example of all three types of settings:
- Control Specific Profile Settings:
Personas already comes with a list of commonly used controls which an admin can make use of. If an admin wishes to add new controls to the existing list, this can be achieved through IMG settings. (See additional info at the end)
For this example, I want to set the background color of the “Back Button”, “Cancel Button” and “Exit Button” to light green (#7EF00C – In Personas colors are defined using hex notation of RGB).
- Enter the USER/GROUP and select system from the option and hit “Edit Profile Settings”.
- Select a “Control Name”. For my example, I will select BACK BUTTON.
c. Click on “Set Properties” and enter the background color.
d. Save. (I repeat the above steps for “Cancel Button” and “Exit Button”)
Now, next time the user launches Personas, he will see the following changes:
2. Type Specific Profile Settings:
In this example, I want to make all the BUTTON(S) controls to appear as round at the corner.
- Enter the USER/GROUP and select system from the option and hit “Edit Profile Settings”.
- Select a “Control Name. For my example, I will select “Button”.
c. Click on “Set Properties” and set the “Corner Radius” as “10”
d. Save
When the user launches Personas, he will see all the buttons appearing round at the corners.
3. Global Text Replacement:
For this example, I want the user to see my new defined text instead of “SAP Easy Access”
- Enter the USER/GROUP and select system from the option and hit “Edit Profile Settings”.
- Click on “Insert Row” and enter the “Original Text” and its corresponding “Replacement Text”
c. Save
When Personas is launched, the user will see the original text being replaced by replacement text.
Additional Information for Control Specific Profile Settings:
SAP Screen Personas comes already with commonly used “Controls” which can be seen under “Control Specific Profile Settings”.
Personas admin can add additional controls to this list by going through SPRO-->Cross Application Components-->SAP Screen Personas-->Maintain Controls for Control Specific Settings.
At this point, admin can enter a new logical Control Name and its Control ID and then set its Property Name.
E.g. I want to add a new entry for Edit Button. I go to SPRO and enter a name (of your choice) and Control ID
Then I select above row and double click on Property Details. I enter the new Property and Save.
Now, you will find the new entry in /n/PERSOS/ADMIN_UI --> Control Specific Profile Setting.
For an admin to know the control ID and its corresponding EDITABLE properties, there are couple of places which can be referenced.
Admin can launch Personas, go into Edit mode, select a particular control and see its Control ID and respective properties.
COMPLETE list of properties (their description and whether they are editable or not) can be found in the “SAP Screen Personas Application Help” document.

How to define tab order in SAP Screen Personas?
Hi,
we currently starting our first steps with screen personas and have set up a cockpit.
When using "Tab" on keyboard cursor should follow a specific sequence on the screen. I tried to define this via control key "TabIndex" in field properties, but were not able to achieve the desired tab order. Do you have any idea?
Best regards

Using WebRFC for update in a Personas script
In a previous blog - Calling RFCs from a Personas script - I described using a WebRFC to perform lookups in a Personas script more quickly than you can using the traditional method of driving the relevant SAPgui transaction. At the end of that blog I left a tantalising comment that "a WebRFC can perform updates as well as lookups", and wondered what possibilities that might offer. Here's my first step into that investigation.
One thing I've tried to automate using "traditional" Personas scripts is some basic user management. Within our SAP support team we often get calls from users that have forgotten their password and/or had their user locked through too many failed login attempts. I thought it would be useful to streamline the management of that situation for the users in our team. The demo in my previous blog was a simple user lookup built into the "home screen", to check a users real name against the username. I've tried scripting lock and unlock buttons but that gets complicated because the functionality in the SU01 transaction is a toggle. Using WebRFC calls to do this seemed like it would be easier. Here's what I ended up with:
Notice first that the "Lookup" button brings back two values - the user's full name and also the current locked/unlocked status. A WebRFC function can return multiple values. Also notice that I change the label on the lock/unlock button to make it clear what it is going to do. The lock/unlock button then calls a second WebRFC, passing it both the username and the desired action - lock or unlock. Adding change password functionality in the same way shouldn't be too hard.
There are business functions with similar simplicity - Purchase Order release, for example - that could easily be given the same treatment, allowing users to release POs without ever going near ME28 or ME29N. Clearly with the right amount of work you could do pretty much anything this way, building complex functionality in an ABAP function and using Personas to build the UI. That's is an interesting possibility and well worth exploring further. It may not really be in the spirit of Personas, but for me, part of the fun of IT is finding new, unexpected ways to use tools and devices. 
I'm now collecting ideas for others users for this technique. Suggestions in the comments, please!

SAP GUI using SNC
Dear all,
I need to test and implement the following: a way to connect from our customer's SAP GUI, to our SAP ERP via a secure connection, and vice versa (from my SAP GUI to my customer's SAP ERP).
I would like for someone to point in the right direction, or even to provide an example, as SAP documentation is not that specific on that matter (or I have not found the right document).
What do I need?
SAP GUI properties
SAProuter configuration
An explanation of how this works

Upgrade from SAP GUI 7.20 to 7.30 on clients with new installation server
Hi all
We want to upgrade from SAP GUI 7.20 to SAP GUI 7.30 (some of them are already 7.30 SP 0) soon but I have the following problem:
On many (200+) of our clients SAP GUI wasn't installed from an installation server but from a local source. Therefore I created a .reg file which changes the source in the registry as follows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAP Shared]
"SapCreateKey"=dword:00000000
"SAPSetupDir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\SAP\\SAPsetup"
"SAPsourcedir"="\\\\<netshare>\\InstServer"
"SAPDestDir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\SAP\\FrontEnd"
"SAPsysdir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\SAP\\FrontEnd\\SapGui"
When I now start the GUI on a client (Windows 7, SAP GUI 7.30 SP 0) and try to get an upgrade notification from the server (open it max. 10 times), nothing happens. I first though this is caused by the missing share so I created a .bat to get a share with "net use":
net use \\<netshare>\InstServer
Windows says the command was executed successful but the update notification still doesn't show up.
Anything else I have forgotten? Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Error in SAP GUI 7.30 (Can't close SAP Logon entry window)
Hi all
I recently upgraded from SAP GUI 7.20 to SAP GUI 7.30. Unfortunately the main window (SAP Logon) doesn't close when I click the "X" button on the top right to close the window. The window is just minimized but not closed. For better understanding of what I mean please see the following picture. As mentioned before, when I click the close button the window is just minimized but not closed.
Has anyone a solution for this issue? Or is this a bug? We are using 7.30 SP 5 (latest). Thanks in advance!

Component $APOLLO files in error after patching to 9.0.36.0
Hi all,
I've patched my Installation Server to 9.0.36.0, and I'm pushing my SAP GUI package to clients that already have 7.20 via SCCM. After the install completes, the Front End opens to a 7.30 version, but I'm getting return code 144 on the installs. When I check the SapSetupErrors log, I'm seeing the following:
Upon examining the NwSapSetup.log file, I see entries indicating that my package couldn't be selected because of the following:
08:48:53 NwSapsAtlC 1W Marking package Turner ({DFB0131A-DBF9-4716-B77A-176B62CF90D2}) as disabled: selected node i.s.h.med Planning Grid ({15DBCF86-19BA-4D78-8062-77A93F06BF89}) has failing condition: StrFailedPreIshMed

08:48:53 NwSapsEngn 1W Package 'Turner' could not be selected!
Further down, I see the following errors:
08:48:54 NwSapFeiUt 1E Error in expression '<>""' at posistion 2 '<><-here ""': parse error, expecting `$'
08:48:54 NwSapsAtlC 1E Condition error in document "C:\Program Files\SAP\SAPsetup\Setup\SapGuiWksta.xml"
Later, I'm seeing this 1W statement:
08:49:13 NwSapFeiUt 1W COM server unregistration with 'sapregsv.exe' failed. Error message: Unknown error 0xC0000374. Error code 0xc0000374.
Followed by this 1E a little later:
08:49:21 NwSapsAtlC 1E Script-action: BExInstaller.exe failed. Error code = 1
Then this:
08:49:22 NwSapsAtlC 1E While processing Component '$APOLLO Files' with Id '{4C6645DF-8834-4B72-A87C-D60CC929CFC0}' 1 error(s) have been registered.
After the process is done, I've got a 7.30 Front End GUI that opens without errors, and I've also got a Business Explorer Analyzer add-in that opens without any errors. I'm not sure how, given that the package shows disabled, and the errors that are showing up in the logs. This is occurring on any test machine that I'm pushing to, so it's not a one-off. How can I be sure that this is working correctly before I start distributing this package?
