ITS - Webgui - Logon Language

Former Member — Mon, 04 May 2009 09:11:23 GMT

Hi all,

I am using Webgui to open SAP Transactions from the portal.

I need to default the webgui logon language from the portal language.

Ex. If a user is logged in portal in English, Webgui transaction should open in English, If user has loggen in portal in Danish, Webgui transaction should open in Danish.

Kindly guide.

Regards,

Reema.

Is the ITS you are connecting to an Integrated ITS or Standalone ITS?

Also how is the WEBGUI service being called via the Portal? Are you using a Transaction iView?

Just let me briefly describe how the locale is generated in the EP. The

locale is defined by the following order:

1. Default language of User

- if personalization is maintained

- if attribute is given in DB or LDAP (when user is setup)

2. Default-language of Browser - if maintained

3. Default-locale of Portal Runtime

4. Default-language of Portal Object - if maintained

5. Default-Locale of PCD configuration (defined in pcd.template.properti

es)

If no local is set then the browser settings are taken.

Please go through the following link for the locale lookup rule.

while accessing any webgui based url you will have to make sure that you pass the parameter language from portal to ITS....

can you confirm what is the result if you leave language parameter in service file blank.

Yes - the parameter should be left blank on the ITS server.

Then when the URL for the transaction iView is being generated, there are

a few parameters included in the URL. One of them must be for the

"Logon language" to be used.

The name of the parameter is different depending on if this is a

6.20 or 6.40/7.00 installation.

If this is 6.40/7.00:

When generating the URL, you should include the parameter:

sap-language=en (or whichever language you like)

If this is 6.20:

The parameter is:

~language=en (or whichever language you like)
