Role issue text missing in PFCG

Hi all:

I am having a weird issue with the "SAP PFCG Menu folder Text". It is missing for all roles in PFCG from DEV to PROD. as you can see in the picture.

I run the program PRGN_CORRMEN2 but it only partially solved the problem, because only the transaction texts reappeared and the folder texts still did not appear. i also check the sap note 1421375 but i can not apply the correctios as it is an old solution to the bug.

Any ideas?

Regards

Each menu item (or node) in a PFCG role is identified by an Object_ID. When adding a node you can leave the default text or add a custom text. The text for the node is stored in table AGR_HIERT.

When dealing with different languages issues can arise when a role has been created by a user logged in with one language (e.g. EN), but another user tries to maintain or display it in another language (e.g. ES).

Program PRGN_CHECK_AGR_TRANSLATION can be used to identify roles that might not be maintained consistently in all relevant languages.

Program PRGN_CORRMEN2 will only update the tcodes in table AGR_HIERT based on the default entries found in table TSTCT. Since no such default values exist for folders (or some custom tcodes) this will not update the folders (or custom tcodes).

My recommendation: Check in table AGR_HIERT whether the folder texts have been maintained in any other language.

I am not aware of a way to copy existing entries from one language to another language short of writing a small conversion program, but maybe someone else did this before.

Update: The issue might simply be that you selected Spanish as your SAPGUI Logon Language while the original Security Admin worked in English. I would verify which languages your implementation is supposed to support and maintain the corresponding translations accordingly across the board.

I think Janek is on the right track. The custom transactions in the screenshot also lack texts, it's not only the folders. What do you see if you log on in a different language?

As you can see in the attached image, I can't see anything for any of the installed languages Spanish (ES) or English (EN). The system default language is ES.

I have executed the program that you comment, and it is showing that the translation is in the ES language, but the texts are not shown as we have seen previously.

I forget to mention that I also checked the AGR_HIERT table and the translations seem to be there, they just aren't showing in PFCG menú.

If you filter table AGR_HIER for your role where "FOLDER" = "X" and use the object ID's that returns to select data from AGR_HIERT, again for this specific role, what does the output look like? Maybe AGR_HIER will already give a clue in the "TEXT" column.
The image you posted doesn't show which texts belong to roles and which belong to folders.
