Hi,

With auth objects check you wont be able to switch of or disable the periodic check option in SM36. Via auth objects you can only restrict the authorization to a particular txn or screens of a txn, not to screen values.

You will have to create a transaction variant for SM36 (this can be client-dependent or client-independent) in txn SHD0. The screen variant is automatically created when you create a txn variant. Please, find below the link to create a txn variant.

Once,you have finished creating a txn variant - you can then have a txn itself which then calls the original txn with the variant only. This is known as a VARIANT Transaction. You then go ahead and share this with the customer and lock down the SM36.Please find below how to do this.

Please note the restrictions as wel:

Only "normal" screens, dialog boxes, and subscreens can be included in the variant. The screens of the following functions may not be included:

- Help and possible entries help (F1, F4)

- List display (and selection screens)

- Confirmation dialog boxes

- Various system functions (status display, save list...)

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Disabling only the radio buttons for periodic jobs is not controlled by the object.

I guess you need to use transaction variants/screen variants to disable the screen for those users.

Hi Dibya,

Tks for you information, has been very helpful

just one question:

Most transactions can be executed in backgraund

I have to create a variation for each of the transactions?

or is there any way to create a variant for all transactions that run on backgraund (Program SAPLBTCH 1010)?

TKS

Regards Marco
