A new UI screen is coming up in SAP PPM 6.1

[former_member195427]

Dear SAP,

I observed a layout/theme change i PPM 6.1 in 'Cost planning screen' (CJR2) that the system calls from cProject. Earlier we were in PPM 5.0 and that screen is replaced with new screen in PPM 6.1 . Could someone please let me know the reason of it and how it can be resolved? Sceen shots given below:

Best Regards

Hi Saurabh,

the changes came from upgrading the Netweaver Stack to 7.40. With 7.40 the new design "SAP_CORBU" ist the standard-theme. Instead of SAP_TRADESHOW.

As Chatsworth suggests you can switch to the old theming via WD_GLOBAL_SETTING - but only for WebDynpro applications! (like all PPM-Screens). There are some other things to take care of, since there is a cascading logic for WD/FPM applications when changing the settings (URL, component configuration, WD_GLOBAL_SETTING). Open another thread if you have questions to this behavior.

As I can see on your screenshot, that you are running SAP WebGUI with CJR2 you have to maintain the service WEBGUI in SICF

double-click on "webgui" in SICF - opens the service settings

On the tab "Service Data" click the button "GUI Configuration" an add the parameter ~THEME with value SAP_TRADESHOW.

Afterwards your WebGUI transactions (opened via NWBC or Enterprise Portal) will show the old theming.

I want to open a new thread to new the concept"There are some other things to take care of, since there is a cascading logic for WD/FPM applications when changing the settings (URL, component configuration, WD_GLOBAL_SETTING)"

Once again. Thanks a lot.

Hello Saurabh

With your upgrade to 6.1 your default Global parameter probably got changed. You can check under transaction SICF for Web Dynpro Application WD_GLOBAL_SETTING

Run SICF and enter WD_GLOBAL_SETTING in the service name. Then execute, then right click on WD_GLOBAL_SETTING and test the service. Scroll down to the Design area and take a look at Stylesheet as well as the UI Guideline values (compare this to your PPM 5 system if still available). 

Does this help?
