Set default logon language in ABAP provisioning

[Former Member]

We have a requirement to set the default logon language for a user when provisioning to ABAP systems. Looking at the provisioning task (UpdateABAPUser) as well as the Identity store schema documentation I can't find any attribute used for this. Is it is possible to modify the UpdateABAPUser task to set this value? If so, what would be the correct attribute in the ABAP system (e.g. something like DefaultsLogonLanguage)?

Depends on the version.  It works in SP6 I think (just checking).  Yup - SP6 has it.  The attribute is locale.

There's a note about an update for pre-SP6: 1753171.

It contains the corrected script and instructions on how to install it.  Essentially unpack the script, attach it to the jobs and set locale to:

$FUNCTION.sap_abap_localeToLang2(%MX_LANGUAGE%|%MX_LANGUAGE_COUNTRY%|%MX_LANGUAGE_VARIANT%)$$

Updating the Provisioning Framework components to SP6 solved the problem. Thanks!
