web dynpro personalization is not visible to some end-users

[Former Member]

we performed web dynpro personalization to a standard iView (the CTRL Right Click method). I have changed the text of a column for the standard iView Time Accounts. Here are the iView properties that were created due to our web dynpro personalization:

com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.personalization.IViewPersonalization:_/Windows:_.Quotas.IVACWindow/Views:VcQuotaView/Elements:Entitle_header/OverriddenTranslatableProperties:text/text.en_US

com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.personalization.IViewPersonalization:_/Windows:_.Quotas.IVACWindow/Views:VcQuotaView/Elements:Rest_Posted_Requested_header/OverriddenTranslatableProperties:text/text.en_US

the change is NOT visible to non-US users when they login to the ESS portal.

but the the change is visible to US employees.

note: our IE language setting is US-en.

if the users MOLGA is different from 10 - then it may call a different iview from the iview you Personalized - therefore Personalization must be made in all required iviews

No its english, ensure it is done for EN

also check if both users are using same Iview!

[siddharthrajora]

yes personalisation is language specific, So change the language of the content

refer 1234273

If you want a generic personalization for ALL english users regardless

of the country variants like US or GB, etc... you can do the following,

Perform the Admin personalization with the Administrator user's language

set to only ENGLISH(en). Once this is done, if an en_US (or) en_GB end-

user logs into portal and accesses the WD iView, the framework would

search for en_US (or) en_GB personalization data. But since there is

no personalization data available for 'US' or 'GB' variant, search will

fallback and check if there is any personalization data available for

simply 'en' locale. Since you had performed this personalization for'en'

, the iViews will display the data personalized for 'en' as expected.

Hence, in general to summarize:

If you want the same personalization data to be reflected to ALL your

English users, please perform the 'Adminstrator Personalization' with

the Administrator's language set to just 'English' (No country variants)

.

And if you want different personalization data to be reflected to ALL

German users, please perform the 'Adminstrator Personalization' with the

Administrator's language set to just 'German' (No country variants) and

the data would be displayed as expected.

thanks for the information.

ALL our users use the same Portal locale us-en.

However, if user is mapped to a US employee in the BACKEND (MOLGA=10), then that users sees the personalization.

if user's MOLGA is different than 10, then users do not see the personalization.

is web dynpro personalization MOLGA dependent?

Hi Siddharth,

Note that personalization is language specific. So if the user's IE language is NOT en-US then they would not able to see the changes.

To prevent this you can either default all the portal user accounts to en-US or you set the language in the Server itself. Basis should be able to help you on that one
