Global Settings MOD009ABF

Access path
  • Customizer Module Customizer Modules Global Settings
  • Customizer Master Data Global Settings

Information

  • In the Global Settings module, customizing objects are stored/managed
    • which can, e.g., be used in different Python macros and/or value ranges (like modules, OLEs, etc.) to ensure that they can easily be interchanged system-wide.
    • the settings of which (in the case of parameters) are to apply system-wide.
  • When you open the module, all global settings are displayed categorized by classes (object category).

Module Variants

  • For each class, there is a module variant of the same name. When you open the module variant, only global settings of this class are displayed.

Attention

  • Global settings cannot be deleted. Records that have been created unintentionally or that are not required anymore can be reused for a new global setting.

Classes

For the categorization of global settings, the so called classes are used in this module.

Classes: Module ID, Dialog message ID, OLE object, Parameter, Startup module ID

Information
  • The following procedure exemplifies how to store a module ID in the global settings. The procedure for other classes is the same.
Store ID in global settings
  • Select Insert Global Settings from the context menu.
  • Select the requested class in the Class listbox, here "module ID".
  • Enter the module ID in the Alpha (120) field.
  • Define a Python ID in the Python ID field.

  • Save.

Read ID from global setting

from ppms import ppms_cu
mod_id=ppms_cu.Helper.get_global_setting("python_id").alpha120.get_value()

Details

  • The ppms_cu Python module is imported in order to be able to use the get_global_setting() method of the Helper class.

Notes

  • Python IDs must be usable as Python literals. They must not contain blanks, umlauts, special characters, etc.
  • Python IDs must be defined uniquely in the global settings.
  • Individual Python IDs must start with an L and the license number.
    • Example: L100_pr_datasheet
    • If the customizer does not set this manually, the system will set it automatically.

10
load_creation_variant Controls the way of time recording in the Time Recording module
Values
  • 1: Simple time recording. Working hours per day are recorded below the scale.
  • 2: Simple time recording with comment. Working hours per day are recorded below the scale and a comment can be written for each entry.

  • 8 = automatic reverse postings for imported loads (Imported on or Imported by set or if there is a record in the pulse table in which the PLANTA_ID = UUID from DT472)
The parameter is a bitflag, i.e. if automatic reverse posting is to apply to multiple cases simultaneously, the respective sum values must be used (e.g. "15" for automatic reverse postings for all above mentioned cases).
WertetabelleEN.png

When you use the 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15 setting, the effect of the Key date performance parameter is virtually undermined.
