Premium Only – Maintain Technical Options

From the ZGLSU transaction in SAP (logged in as a registered Premium user)

  1. Select Premium User Functions.
  2. Select Maintain Technical Options.

  • Job Wait Time(sec): Allows you to synchronize GLSU with the parameters you have set for batch processing at your company. After the specified number of seconds, GLSU will return a message to the user saying that they need to try their posting again later.

    Note: When job wait times are reached, neither long texts nor BDS document attachments can be saved because no document numbers will be recorded until the SAP job runs.

  • Doc Retention (days): This option will control the amount of time that GLSU remembers files that are uploaded by each user. GLSU will forget file names loaded by users when they become older than the number of days specified.
  • Disable Load Balancing: When selected, this option will force the background job to run on the application server that the user is logged into. When not selected (the default setting), the background job is run in an available batch work process like any other job.
  • Maximum Rows Returned for Live Pick Lists: The value entered here specifies the maximum number of records that will be retrieved (to avoid long runtimes) for real-time (live) pick values. The default value is 1000 entries.
  • Job Class: This option specifies which job class GLSU background jobs will be submitted as. The possible entries are Class A – High Priority, B – Medium Priority, or C – Low Priority.
  • Max SQL Statement Size: This value denotes the maximum size of a database SQL statement. Depending upon your SAP database, this value may need to be adjusted. You should contact your DB administrator before you change the default value.

    Note: The default 64K value will not need to be adjusted in approximately 95% of GLSU installations.

  • Submit As Non-Unicode: With application of SAP note 723363 and/or certain versions of SAP (4.7 support package SAPKH47023 and ECC 5.0 support package SAPKH50005), an option was added by SAP to the standard load program to submit as non-Unicode. For installations which are known to be non-Unicode, this setting should be checked initially unless otherwise determined by Z Option support.
  • Custom Validations: GLSU can be configured (along with development) to handle custom validation scenarios. Custom validation development can be done via your internal development resources, or outsourced for a fee. Any header or detail fields can be validated, either on a line by line or total document basis. Drill-back to the Excel spreadsheet cell is supported. Errors are denoted in Excel by CV-E (Custom Validation Error). Only errors are supported at this time. Custom validations are only supported with a live connection (not supported in the off-line mode).

    Important: Users must select Retrieve Validation Data from the GLSU > Utilities menu option or Send Validation Now from the ZGLSU transaction within SAP for the new setting to take effect.

    Full development documentation is provided in the /ZOPTION/GLSU_LIVE_CUSTVAL function module (Transaction: SE37) available on your SAP system after GLSU has been installed.

  • Perform SAP Substitutions: Reserved for future use.
  • Perform SAP Validations: Activate GLSU pre-validations for Financial Accounting line item validations and Cost Accounting line item validations. These are the same SAP validations as configured in OB28 and OKC7 respectively.
  • NEVER Delete BDC Sessions: When this option is checked, GLSU will never delete the sessions contained in transaction SM35, whether they are successful or not.
  • Use Header Company w/split: Activating this option will place the header company of the workbook as the header company on EVERY SAP split document which is created when the number of lines exceeds the Maximum Input Lines per Doc value. With the option de-selected, the last New co.code (Technical Field: NEWBK) value set will be placed on each respective split document.
  • Activate Lineos for all users: Activating this option will allow every GLSU user to utilize the AI features such as Doc Assist, Data Assist, etc.
  • Attaching Documents: See section Document Attachments (BDS).
  • Transaction Control: This section allows the Premium user to control globally which transactions can be used by all GLSU users. The checked options will be the only ones available in the Options screen. Note that on a clean installation GLSU will not immediately know these settings. However, as soon as a GLSU user attempts to post or park they are required to log in. It is at this point where GLSU will determine which transactions are allowed and which are not. Premium users are exempt from these settings.
  • Enable Field Selection and Template Creation for Std. Users: This option controls whether or not standard users of GLSU can access the "Choose Fields" menu item. It might be used in conjunction with the GLSU template download feature to get all users of GLSU in an organization using the same consistent templates without the ability to edit their fields. Premium users are exempt from this setting.

Note: Only Premium Users will be allowed to maintain these technical options. Z Option recommends that you consult either insightsoftware and/or your BASIS administrator before changing any of these settings from their default values.
