How to programmatically upload roles to Portals.

How can we programmatically upload roles from CUA to Portal. Are there any BAPI's or any other methods that we can use to accomplish this. We currently have a program that runs as a job every night to create users and assigns them roles in R/3, EBP and WP systems and we would it to do the same thing for portals.
Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Marek,
Thank you very much for your guidance. We are still stuck, we checked the configuration and it's set to SAP system but we don't see any R/3 roles in portals. Can you give us a little more details on:
1). Are there any specific entries in dataSourceConfiguration_r3_roles_db.xml file that would need to be changed?
2). Do we have to create roles in R/3 any differently in order for them to appear as groups in portal? Should these roles be created in ABAP side of Portal client or in R/3 client. Also, Where do these roles appear as groups in portal(path to get to those groups).
Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Aurang

I'm not sure about LDAP. Would anyone explain me the best approach to do this.

How to add a role to the Portal Favorites

Niki,
The documentation says that
The Portal Favorites iView contains a freely definable list of links for direct access to items that you use regularly. This can include the following:
●     Portal pages and iViews that run as full-page applications
●     Documents, folders, and other items in KM repositories
●     External items, such as Internet pages
So we can't do it for Roles.
For detailed information see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/d609e5803111d5992f00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">Portal Favorites</a>

Role upload into BI portal pointing to 3.x version

Hi,
sap BI Bakend menu roles uploaded into BI Portal, But When I check iview property BWVersion its pointing to 2.x/3.x instead of Netweaver BI 7.0
And I assumed queries developed in 3.x pointing to 2.x/3.x. to avoid that I opened query in 7.x tool and saved and uploaded even though its pointing to 2.x/3.x template. Does there any bug or Are we missing any step in the part of upgrade?
Please your thoughts on this.

How to change default properties when uploading role

Hi, all.
Our env. is like the following.
   EP 6.0 SP9 patch1
   J2EE SP9
   Windows 2003 MS SQL Server
When we upload a role from R/3 to EP, role is correctly uploaded but the problem is the following default behavior.
- default property of entryPoint for role is set to "false"
- default property of GUI type for Transaction iView is dependent on the GUI support of R/3 SE93(Maintain Transaction Codes)
Is there any way to change these default settings to some other values in EP without modification?
What we want to do is that when we upload roles, we want to set the following values by default.
- entryPoint = "true"
- GUI type = "SAPGUI for Windows"
One way would be to use Content Administration --> Multiple Property Replacement feature but we want to reduce our operation time more.
Thanks.

Hi Sejoon
Even i'm in the same situation, i tried modifying transaction type in the
com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.bwc.Transaction which is iview template for all the iviews created on import of roles..but it also dint work.
yeah Multiple replacement is not the best of the option,
let me know if u have figured out something.

Unhandled exception for uploading BW roles into portal

Hi experts:
I got the following warning in the log viewer when I uploade 2 BW roles, ZB_SAP_BW_DEVELOPER
ZB_SAP_BW_WEB_ADMINISTRATOR, into portal (7.3). They are copies of the standard SAP roles. I succcessfully uploaded other BI roles. These are the only ones that can not be uploaded. There is no error on the portal. Upload completed 100% but these 2 roles are not in the uploaded role list. I checked sm12 and they are not locked. Wonder if anyone has had the same issue and solution?
Log viewer warning:
The following unhandled exception: [java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to load from an object array loaded from local variable 'templateUrlArr'] was detected in [Thread[RoleUpload_1312911561066,5,Dedicated_Application_Thread]]

Please help if you have found the solution for the problem.
Thanks in advance.

In the User Administration section of your portal find your newly created user and below select "Assigned Roles" tab then press <Modify> button and look through available roles on portal then just simply add and save. But if you want to do it programmatically see below:
IUserAcountFactory userFactory = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory();
// IUser - read only but with IUserAccount is possible to set up user data
IUserAccountSearchFilter userFilter = userFactory.getUserAccountSearchFilter();
userFilter.setLogonUid("superuser", ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR, false);
ISearchResult sr = userFactory.search(userFilter);
for (final Iterator i = new PrincipalIterator(sr); i.hasNext();) {
IUserAccount user = (IUserAccount) i.next();
Execute the same search for IRole (or IGroup if needed) get the unique id of them and use newRole(...) and addUserToRole(...) methods from IRoleFactory.
Of course you don't need search for this principals if you know uniqueness of them. Use appropriate factories to get'em all by this unique id.
All the features see in [javadocs|http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/se/index.html]
