SUIM UserByComplexSelection Variants

[Former Member]

Hi,

Using the transaction SUIM option "User By Complex Selection" I created some variants.

Questions:

What is the SAP table where the variants are stored?

It is possible to transport this variants information to another system?

Thanks

Hi,

Variants are stored in table VARID. Yes, you can transport the variants.

What you are looking for is transaction VARCH.

Thanks guys for your help.

it is not clear to me the steps to transport variants for example from a development system to consolidatation system.

I will appreciate some detailed steps how to do that.

Thanks a lot

Sorry, for some reason I was sure there would be a transport button in VARCH.

Manually, what you can do is create a transport request, and then insert the variant once you have maintained and saved it.

Program ID = "LIMU"

Object Type = "VARX"

Object name ="<report_name><variant_name>" (written together!)

Hi Julius,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I am doing the following ..

on the request I select

- include objects

- freely selected objects

- selected objects

a then I get a list where I can only see the combination for LIMU (beside other combinations with R3TR...)

ProgId = LIMU

Obj = COMM

I am not able to find the combination LIMU & VARX

is it something missing?

Thanks again

Normally, the workbench object search would look for objects which are assigned to a package (previously "development class").

> I am not able to find the combination LIMU & VARX.

I guess that as client dependent variants don't have a package assigned, you won't find them there... so you need to double-click on the request and enter it manually.

What you can also consider is to create these as "customer system variants" if you want them in all clients and locked down so that they can only be changed via transports. You can only do this in client 000.

Not unless your user ID is 'KSCHMIDT' ...

It worked perfectly. Thanks Julius.

Thanks FedeX

KSCHMIDT?

Good, but still consider a system variant if the use-case is more suited to it.

> KSCHMIDT?

A relic from ancient times in some development system which has long since been archived...

e.g. FM RS_VARIANT_CATALOG

* if sy-uname ne 'KSCHMIDT'.
* IF DYNNR NE '*' AND DYNNR NE SPACE.
** Bestimmtes Bild angegeben, erstmal nur im aktuellen Mandanten
* lesen
* PERFORM GET_VARI_TO_SCREENS TABLES V_RANGE
* USING RSVAR-REPORT
* DYNNR
* VARIANT
* l_mandt.

KSCHMIDT lives on as the Elvis of the variant functions...
