Start IMG Node in Display

Former Member — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 09:30:11 GMT

Hi all,

is there a way to start a Customizing Node in Spro in Display instead of Edit Mode?

Some more details:

So i have an IMG Node which links to a Viewcluster via Transaction SM34.

However most Users currently go there to only check the settings and don't want to change anything.

Therefore it would be very nice if the Cluster would by default open in Display Mode first.

greetings

Klaus

Hi Klaus,

You can change the authorization group of the required views or tables of SPRO in SE11 and control the visibility based on authorizations.

Note that it is not mandatory to change the authorization group always but if you since SAP uses the same authorization group for other tabels/views in order to distinguish you might need one.

Thanks and Regards,

thx for the Answer - but i don't want to do it via Authorizations since those guys normally are also the ones able to change it. However most of the time its only display. And with authorizarions they would need 2 user which i think is not practicable.

Hi Klaus,

Somewhere deep in the code of transaction SPRO in function module S_CUS_ACTIVITY_EXECUTE is a call to function modules VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL with the parameter ACTION hard coded to 'U' and VIEWCLUSTER_MAINTENANCE_CALL with MAINTENACE_ACTION hard coded to 'U'.

So, I think the way the system assumes change as the default mode can't be changed.

Nick
