How to change texts in MSS iView 'Attendance Overview'

[kmoore007]

Does anyone know how to change the texts in the MSS iView 'Attendance Overview', for example? It has the column 'Employees' and we would like to change it to say 'Associates'. Also, it has the text 'Choose Employee List' which has a drop down with 'All Employees' or 'Directly Reporting Employees' which we want to change 'Employees' to 'Associates' as well.

Hi Kenneth,

These texts are usually maintained in language Dependant files and are included as part of the development project. I assume you are using the JAVA Business Package from SAP in which case you should be able to find those files in the PAR files delivered with the package. Look for a par file that has attendance overview in the name open with winzip and look for files like localization.properties or *_en.properties.

Hope this helps,

Simon

Simon,

I'm sorry, but I am rather new to Portal. What is the menu path to get to the PAR files or how do I find these?

The easiest way to do the search is on the file system. The PAR files get unpacked under:

\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<XX>\j2ee\cluster\server<X>\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root

you can also browse this via the portal goto

System Administration --> Support

There you will be able to browse the deployed par files... but the file system is easiest.
