Cons Group & Unit Display in Monitor

[dan_sullivan]

With the upgrade to EP3 the cons groups and units name displayed in the monitor are the short description instead of the long description as was previously the case.

It would be most appreciated if you would please suggest ways to change the names display from the short description to the long description.

HI Dan,

The display in Monitor works on standard future, and there is no customization involed in that as of now to display wither Short or Long description.

Else, you can keep the short description as same as Long description, I know this may not solve your problem if the length of Long Description is grater than short.

Also try contacting OSS help...

or in R/3 normally if we want any changes in the standard display, we will do the by copying the standard and make changes. So try using ABAP help, creating Own transaction code by copying the standard "UCMON" and apply necessary changes.

Give this as last preference, as this includes only technical work.

Dan - are you making use of many of the BCS features in EHP3?

I didn't see much in there that would benefit my current project, where we are implementing selected functions of EHP2 and EHP3.

(The reason I've not selected any of EHP3 functions is that they don't have much benefit for us right now and regression testing would be too onerous).

EHP3 was implemented to keep up-to-date, but none of the new functions are used.
