CG02 Word Error - Saving has been disabled

[former_member224727]

I'm going in CG02 to search specification. Entering specification number and going menu path Specification --> Report --> Report template.

Selecting variant from drop down and clicking on display button.

So system display specification in word format. Now I want to save this specification, so I click on 'save as' button on word but getting error message "saving has been disabled" and does not allow to save.

Could you suggest something? Let me know if you need more info to resolve this.

Dear Eric ,

We have an option in SU3 (Parameters TAB)

SET/GET PARAMETER ID : ESWWI_INST value : EXISTFRONT ( it wont allow you to save)

If SET/GET PARAMETER ID : ESWWI_INST value : WWISERVER ( it will remove saving has been disabled option and allow you to save )

This works for me .. please have a check 🙂

Dear Eric

you are just previewing the report buy not generated , If iam not wrong,  it is not possible to save the report until unless it is generated , once it is generated , you can output the report through report shipping option.

Pl .refer below thread where CB & Kamal  is explained clearly

I'm not expert in CG02. Could you please suggest steps to generate new report? So I can save same?

Dear Eric

I believe  you miss the "process idea". We have two processes integrated in CG02

a.) Report from Template

b.) Create Report

Regarding a.): here you generate "on the fly" a document on you client to "view" data. The result is not used for other processes: So you can think about that this process is a type of "quality check" of data maintained. If needed you could adapt the local  WWi.INI to save the generated document; but this is not recommended

b.) Create report: here you generate a "report" in such a way that it is stored in database. The result can be checked in e.g. trasnaction CG50 and if report is released in transaction CG54. Once again the result is normally not "saved" locally to the client; but stay in data base to be used very often (e.g. in report dispatching process)

So please explain: why do you have the felling that you need to save the document locally?

Just some additional info on the wwi.ini.

Normally it's located here by default, C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\FrontEnd\sapgui\wwi

And there is a part for protection, and "EnableSave" is read for this. But really according to Christoph, it's not recommended to change it.

[Protection]
; configurable protection and attached Word template (dot) for
; "display report", "edit report", "report from template" and
; "label preview".
;
; Possible values for protection:
; 0 = allow edit (no protection)
; 1 = allow only comments (default, does not update page counts properly)
; 2 = allow form fields (does not allow "edit"-"find" and scrolling by PgUp, PgDown)
; 3 = allow only revisions
;
; The Report...Dot entries define which Word template is getting attached.
; The default is wwidispl.dot
; "none" defines that no template gets attached
;
; The Report...Macro entries optionally defines a macro in this template to be started
; before the document is getting protected
;
; The Report...UsePassword entries optionally define to set a password to disable protection
