Premium Only – Create Off-Line Validation File
Since GLSU offers two methods to validate, Off-Line and Real-Time, it may be a requirement to create a validation file for an external user or business partner (Vendor, etc.) independent of the site-wide configuration configured by the Premium User.
For example, in your GLSU configuration you might have selected all fields which are available for "Live" validations. This configuration creates the minimal footprint on the PC workstation. This is an optimal configuration for an in-house user with direct access to SAP. However, many customers use GLSU to create spreadsheets which can be used off-line. Since the pre-validation, pick lists, and descriptions are major features which would be lost if the external user was given a local validation file (.INI), we provide the "Create Offline Validation File" function available to only Premium users.
In order to create an off-line validation file perform the following steps:
- Sign in to SAP.
- Execute transaction ZGLSU.
- Select Premium User Functions.
- Select Create Offline Validation File.
- Enter (or select) the offline validation file you want to create
Note: Be certain not to overwrite your personal local file.
- Enter your selection criteria. Leave a ?? in all fields you do NOT want to be downloaded to the off-line validation file. A blank in the selection criteria will select all values, or you can limit the selection based on specific criteria.
- Execute the program.
