Purpose / Use Case
For non-CAD you like to have different functions for the double-click on a DIR. Not open the CAD system but open an alternative file from the DIR.
Step-by-Step instructions
See also in the Operation guide chapter "5.1 Roles in SAP Engineering Control Center", or search for "PLM_ROLE".
saplogon.txt
sap.logon.cad_group_id1 = CADUSER
sap.logon.cad_group_desc1 = CAD User
sap.logon.cad_group_id2 = NONCADUSER
sap.logon.cad_group_desc2 = Non CAD User
Create files plm_setenv_<ROLE>.bat inside <ECTR_INST_DIR>\customize\config\ for all desired roles
e.g.
content of plm_setenv_CADUSER.bat:
SET FNC_OPEN_VIEW=fnc.doc.open.fast.view SET FNC_OPEN_EDIT=fnc.doc.open.fast.edit
content of plm_setenv_NONCADUSER.bat:
SET FNC_OPEN_VIEW=fnc.doc.open.any(view,pdf) SET FNC_OPEN_EDIT=fnc.doc.open.any(edit,pdf)
e.g change the desired menu definition and use environment variables FNC_OPEN_VIEW and FNC_OPEN_EDIT as placeholder:
menu.guidef or menu_macros.txt
? DOC_GENERAL
= fnc.doc.open.fast.view
= fnc.doc.open.fast.edit
change to
? DOC_GENERAL
= @FNC_OPEN_VIEW@
= @FNC_OPEN_EDIT@
add dictionary entries for fnc.doc.open.any(view,pdf) and fnc.doc.open.any(edit,pdf) in customize\dictionary\en\customer.txt:
fnc.doc.open.any(view,pdf)=view PDF fnc.doc.open.any(edit,pdf)=edit PDF
Result
If the SAP User has role "CADUSER" he will open the document in CAD.
If the SAP User has the role "NOCADUSER" he will try to open pdf instead.
Use Case System font size
You want to adjust the font size of the ECTR. Now you want an individual setting for each user.
- Is it possible to read out a parameter from the SAP user?
- Or show a pull-down selection in the ECTR login dialog?
Solution with user parameter
ECTR already provides the user parameters as environment variables and a pref can reference an environment variable.
Example:
system.font.defaultFont = @SAP.USER.PARAMETER.<your_parameter>@
Solution with ECTR login dialog
You have to set up the "cad groups" combo box instead of going to SAP roles.
saplogon.txt
sap.logon.cad_group_id1 = BIG_FONT
sap.logon.cad_group_desc1 = Big font
sap.logon.cad_group_id2 = NORMAL_FONT
sap.logon.cad_group_desc2 = Normal Font
Create files plm_setenv_<ROLE>.bat inside <ECTR_INST_DIR>\customize\config\ for all desired roles
e.g.
content of plm_setenv_BIG_FONT.bat:
SET ECTR_FONT=SansSerif; PLAIN; 16
content of plm_setenv_NORMAL_FONT.bat:
SET ECTR_FONT=SansSerif; PLAIN; 12
e.g change the desired menu definition and use environment variables FNC_OPEN_VIEW and FNC_OPEN_EDIT as placeholder:
default.txt
# ECTR default font
# Set the default font used in ECTR
# When changing this it has to be checked if the font supports the local charset
system.font.defaultFont = @ECTR_FONT@
