2163116 - MDUG Template Issue for languages other then English

Symptom

MDUG Template doesn't work in French language
Example: Go To 'Central Process' [FR: 'Processus central'] tab in the French template and maintain the 'Name' [FR: 'Nom'] and 'Description' [FR: 'Description'] fields. Now navigate to the Central Subprocess [FR: ‘Sous-processus central’] tab the expected auto populated value of the 'Central Process' is not displayed in the drop down of the Parent Column.



Environment
GRC 10.0, GRC10.1


Reproducing the Issue
1. Now login in R/3 in French Language and open tcode SE38 > Execute Program GRFN_MDUG.
2. Generate the Template Excel in French language by clicking on execute button or by pressing F8 key.
3. MDUG Template will be downloaded in a few minutes. Once downloaded completely, open the template.
4. Navigate to the Processus central [Central subprocess] tab in the French sheet/template and maintain the description and name [FR: 'Nom'] field.
5. Now go to tab ‘Sous-processus central’ and you can see that the expected value of Processes maintain in the 'central Process' tab doesn't appears in the drop down in the parent column.


Cause
In French language the sheet name is crossing the limit of 30 characters of MS Excel. As there is a limitation from MS Excel in which you cannot name any sheet more than 30 characters.
Technically speaking while creating the template, excel sheet is not holding more than 30 character (as per excel limitation) and some of the validation micros are getting overwritten.


Resolution
1. You can use maintenance view 'GRFNVENTITY' to minimize the character length: REG_GROUP, REGULATION, REG_REQ, ORGUNIT, CRGROUP, CRISK, COBJECTIVE, ACC_GROUP, TESTPLAN,
XPROCESS, XSUBPROCESS, XCONTROL, XECGROUP, XECONTROL, POLICYGRP, POLICY.
2. Additional Info: Some of the field names in the excel sheet are being fetched from the view 'GRFNFLDGRPT' and these fields are SP_REGULATIONS, CN_REGULATIONS, EC_REGULATIONS.
3. Above entities which are being used in the MDUG sheet name. All of them should not have character more than 30. As it is the limitation from MS Excel.
4. As you can verify that "SP_REGULATIONS" =  "Reglementations du sous-processus". [>30 characters].
5. Please note that MDUG Template has been supplied by sap. However, for using the MDUG tool correctly you have to short the field less than 30.
6. So whenever the report is trying to name any sheet more than 30 characters it will not work. Please check all the fields in the corresponding view and shorten them to less than 30 Characters.
7. Kindly refer to the attached document for more details.
