  To reach higher photon energies in the region of soft or hard x-rays with high photon beam brightness in low energy storage rings, superconducting undulators with very short period length and high magnetic field strength are required. Because undulator radiation comes in a line spectrum, photons up to the 7th harmonic are desired. The photon brightness in such harmonics is strongly dependent on perfect periodicity of the magnetic field. Such imperfections also appear in conventional permanent material undulators, which can be corrected by well developed and efficient shimming. Unfortunately, this method cannot be applied to superconducting undulators. Therefore, we present a new approach to field corrections by modification of the magnetic field saturation in each pole. In this paper it is shown that this approach can reduce not only the magnetic field error but also greatly improves phase errors from period to period. The proposed method works quite local with only small perturbations in neighboring poles. The tenability is preserved for most of the field excitations and is reduced only at extreme parameters.
