Variable Personalization setting is not allowed to change?

[Former Member]

There is a setting in BW called variable Personalization which defaults per each user their variable selection upon query execution. Meaning if an End User ran a report for 3 vendors (VA, VB, VC) and refresh the query which would bring up the variable selection screen again these same Vendors would be pre-populated, which would make the end user have to delete these items if they wanted to run that query with a different selection criteria.

At the moment this Variable Personalization flag is check in Transaction SPRO in our BW. But there is a warning when we uncheck it with a msg "Action was not performed. Mark the checkbox.". Any idea on how to uncheck it?

Thanks

Kevin,

Activate Personalization in BEx

Use

This activity is for activating personalization in BEx. You can personalize the following elements:

BEx history, so that the last report executed by you is saved.

Variables, so that certain variables selected by you are proposed.

Web applications, so that report drilldowns are saved.

Once personalization has been activated it cannot be deactivated again

The field Activate Conversion of InfoObject Values in the Transfer Rules has no connection with activation of personalization. It is here at the moment due to technical reasons. You can find more information about converting technical InfoObject values in the SAP Library, underBusiness Content -> Cross-Application Master Data -> Consolidated InfoObjects for BP, Product and Product Category -> ODS Objects -> Conversion of DataSource Field into InfoObject

-Hope this helps

Hi Kevin,

As per SAP: Once you activated personalization in the IMG of the Business Information Warehouse you can no longer deactivate it.

hi Bhanu,

We have never checked this box, that means, it's default checked by SAP. Therefore we would have to say that it's a SAP bug that doesn't allow us to check it off!

Kevin,

It is by default unchecked in SAP BW and is to be set by the user. I have set personalization after initial configuration and it does not come with personalization as always on.

hi Arun,

You say you can reset it as unchecked, then why we can't?

Thanks
