Abaper role in project

what are the roles and responsibilties of functional and technical consltant

hi,
Role in SAP Implementation:
SAP Implementation is the whole of processes that defines a complete method to
implement SAP software in an organization. It is based on best practices and case studies from various literature sources and presents a collection of processes and products that make up a complete implementation method to allow any organization to plan and execute the implementation of SAP (ERP) software. The SAP implementation process is made up out of four main phases, i.e. the project preparation where a vision of the future-state of the SAP solution is being created, a sizing and blueprinting phase where the solution stack is created and training is being performed, a functional development phase and finally a final preparation phase, when the last tests are being performed before the actual go live.
ABAP Developer Role is to prepare the Technical Specification (based on a Functional Specification given by a Functional Consultant), build the code, Review the code and finally to prepare the Unit Test Cases. Sometimes ABAPer may be asked to do a technical research for an optimal solution.
Role in SAP Support:
After a go live, the application needs a maintenance/support to resolve the issues/tickets raised by the users when using the application. Ticket is like a request for changes/bug fixing or a request for a new ABAP Developer Role includes bug fixing/change the existing code due to new requirements/build a new code etc.
Role in SAP Upgrade:
SAP Upgrade is nothing but upgrading the software with a superior version which has got more advantages when compared to the earlier version.
ABAP Developer Role is to go through transactions SPAU/SPDD to compare the old and new version of the change and finally need to activate the relevant one. Some times might need to work on SAP notes too.
Hope this helps, <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

Re:Role of an Abaper in support projects

Hi,
What can be the role of an abaper in support projects and moreover what is production support and development support.How do we handle issues in production supoort i.e., we directly login to the production server and solve or we copy the code in development and solve.
Plz clarify....
Thanks
Vamshi

Hi Vamsi,
Abaper role in Support projects is solve the issues of ABAP related in production. it may be data inconsistance, program logic is incorrect, data dictionary issues, Dump error and so on. You can analyse in production server and do necessary changes in develoment server. Development server having program no need to copy it.

Re: Roles of ABAPER in implementation project

HI experts,
What s the Roles of ABAPER in implementation project?and responsibilities in support project?

IMPLEMENTATION :This is project in which we implement sap for a company from scratch right from creating tables and data for the first time..writing code for the first time etc.
SUPPORT : this is the kind of project where SAP has been already implemented but due to some additional business requirement or any thing like small problems in general they hire a team who work for them to solve the small issues.its also called issue based project.
It depends on the Volume of the company and how many company codes and Plants it have and for how many it has to be implemented
There are different types of Projects in SAP:
1. Implementation
Customer wants to install SAP/Include different modules of SAP viz. MM/SD/FI/CO/PP etc for the first time.Previously he might be using some legacy system in his orgn. This is implementation project. Here one needs to integrate several modules, migrate data from Legacy system to SAP system. Need to prepare interfaces/RFC's to interact with 3rd party systems.
Most of the company's follow ASAP methodology for the Implementation projects
there are 5 stages in the ASAP methodology
they are
1. Project Initial Preparation
2.Business Blueprint
3.Realization
4/ Final Preparation
5.Golive And Support
ABAP work mostly starts in the Blue print ending stage or in the realization stage
2. Support
Customer has already installed SAP & wants to give the work of maintaining those systems. This is support project
There is no phases in it. Just receive the tickets, solve and send back to client.
3. Upgrade
Customer has SAP Version 4.6b and wants to update his version i.e. wants to go to Version 4.7. This is upgrade project
4. Rollouts
Customer has upgraded his version & wants to rollout country specific changes.
This is rollout project
Say a company is having branches in 3 to 4 countries.
In One country they have already implemented SAP
IF they wants to implement the same SAP in other countries of their branches they will simply follow the same SAP implementation policy (Rollout) how they have done for the first country just by changing the country specific settings and configurations.

ABAPer role in upgrade project

Hi,
Please let me know the ABAPer role with upgrade project. When Std programs updated by support packs what are the responsibility of ABAPers?
Thanks,
Praneeth

Hi,
Automatic- It means that there will be a green icon. You will have to just click it and it is done.
This is because the changes to the SAP Object have been done either via SNOTE for some note application or you have used the modification assistant. So SAP does not have any problem in determining the changes. So the adjustment is automatic.
Semi-Automatic - In this case there will be a yellow icon. This means that you have to make some manual adjustments. This is because SAP considers that the adjustments are proper but still there is some discrepancy.Probably this is because you have made some note changes and additionally inserted some comments like begin of changes by xxxx on yyyyy for note zzzzz.
So in this case SAP will give you a split screen editor in whihc your existing code and the one coming from support pack will come. So you have to adjust accordingly.
Manual Adjustment - In this case there will be a red icon. This means that you have to make the chnages manually. This is because SAP finds a lot of discrepancy in your program and the one coming via support pack. The reason can be either the earlier note was incorrectly applied or you have added your own code for some custom requirment. So again SAP gives you the split screen editor to make the adjustments.
Your assumptions about Reset to Original and Adopt Modifications are correct.
I hope it solves your queries.

Abap role in the enterprise portal?

Can anyone give me a clear picture abt the enterprise protal and abap role in that?

Hi when there is an integration between EP and R/3 and you click on the User Adinistration of the Portal you will find two types od users available there.
1. UME Database - this is nothing but the Portal Roles here you will find all the roles related to portal administration, such as eu_role, eu_corerole etc etc .
We assign portal developer roles to the user form here like Content Admin, System Admin, etc etc.
2. ABAP Role : whatever role are defined for the user in the backened will appear here ...
for instance if you implement ESS, hence the user must be able to apply for Travel so a backend r/3 travel role will be attached in SU01 for that user. This is visible on portal.
Hope this clarifies!
Cheers!

J2EE roles vs Portal roles vs ABAP roles

(I also posted this on portal implementation, but i hope i receive more reactions here )
Dear all,
I have a question about the information on the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/4c/6c0f40763f1e07e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
It says the following:
"These functions are intended to assign users and their assigned portal roles a corresponding role in the SAP System. This corresponding role (authorization role) contains the authorizations needed to execute certain functions from the portal."
1. These "...certain functions..." they talk about, can someome give an example of these functions?
2. Is it possible for example to create a role in the portal that gives a user authorisation for starting transaction SE80 in the backend system? Without making the role in the backend first and uploading it to the portal.
3. It's also possible to upload ABAP roles to the portal. Is the main reason for this that users can see their SAP menu (or part of it) in the portal? Or does this have other advantages too?
4. I'm very confused about the relation between J2EE roles, portal roles and ABAP roles. Is it possible to manage the roles for a user in one place, without having to do certain actions in the portal AND the backend system?
From what I've read on help.sap.com, you always need to do certain actions in both places.
A possible approach is the following (from what i know): Creation of roles in the R/3 system, without assigning to users. From a webdynpro application, a user can then be created and roles can be assigned: portal roles (via some API) and R/3 roles (via BAPIs).
I hope someone can give a bit information on this issue. I've done alot of reading on help.sap.com, but it's still an abstract issue for me.
Kind regards,
Joren

Hi Jorem
Re: point 3. I don't build portal roles through this mechanism as I don't believe in replicating the SAP easy access menu inside the portal. If there are some specific functions (transactions) that I want to run inside the portal, then I might use this mechanism to build the iViews once. I would rather start an iView that runs transaction SMEN and let the user see their regular easy access menu.
Please note that the speed of executing transactions in the portal isn't a function of the portal, but the fact that you are using ITS, for example, to web enable the transaction...
Re: point 4. Groups are a UME concept. They have nothign to do with ABAP groups. They can be created directly in UME through user administration functions, or they can be created in the LDAP and then they are visible in the portal. If the UME points to an ABAP system, then the ABAP roles are autoamtcially visible as UME groups. Groups created in the UME need to have the members assigned through user admin functions of the Java engine. Groups stored in LDAP are maintained using LDAP admin tools. There are upload utilities that allow you to maintain LDAP users and groups through text files. Google LDIF for more details.
Roles on the portal need to be built in the portal contetn directory. As Michael mentioned, this can be automated by the use of the role upload function built into the portal.

ABAP Role Assignments stored in MSAD

Hi all,
unfortunately I have only found contradicting information in relation to the possibility to manage ABAP role assignments using a MS Active Directory.
We plan to implement a WAS (ABAP) 6.40 SP14, synchronise data between the WAS and the corporate MSAD. While WAS (ABAP) is not capable of MSAD based authentication I suspect it is possible to manage the user/role assignments in MSAD. Am I right in my assumptions (see list below) that the following data entities can/cannot be managed and synchronised/stored with the WAS (ABAP) out of the box?
WAS ABAP
1. possible - user master data (e.g. userName, address, etc.)
2. possible - user/role assignments
3. not possible - user passwords (however, can be bypassed through SSO based on NTLM)
Portal UME
1. possible - user master data
2. possible - user password
3. possible - role/group assignments
4. possible - group/user assignments
5. possible - user/group assignments
6. possible - user/role assignments
Thanks for the help!!
Cheers Stefan

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. But ours was a different problem.
The issue was with a faulty reconciliation job that had been fixed. But it had done its damage before the fix and this caused the inconsistent behavior.
During the reconciliation job (to update changed and add new backend roles in IDM) various task trigger attributes get disabled and then re-enabled after the import. These disabled triggers did not get re-enabled for the privileges on some systems. And the reconciliation job was also delta enabled, so only new privileges, after the initial load, should have been impacted. But impact to many privileges -- all privileges of some target systems -- misled our investigation. The timing of the reconciliation job executions kind of added to the confusion and inconsistencies during the initial setup. But we finally tracked this down and wrote a custom job to fix the triggers for only the affected privileges. Assignments to all systems started to function successfully as expected.
Best regards,
Ashok

Mapping ABAP roles and assignments to EP UserGroups and EP Roles

Hello.
I have set up my EP7 UME to upload ABAP roles as Portal Groups . Im expecting the ABAP role to user assignment to also reflect as EP Group to User assignment.
All my roles that 'exist' in the ABAP source system are created in EP7 correctly as expected. However, only "direct" user to role assignments are uploaded. NONE of my "indirect" user to role assignments (ie: Via HR Org in ABAP system) are reflected in EP.
Qtn: Is there a way I can encorporate indirect user-role assignments into the upload into EP as well ??
Thanks
Andrew
ps: I have played with HR org active switch in vain in ABAP syst

Hi Kumar,
Have you tested the connection of your R3 system?
Do you want to connect to the ABAP UME? If so do the following:
1. Logon to the portal as administrator
2. Go to:
1. System Administrator
2. System Configuration
3. UME Configuration
4. Click Modify Configuration
5. From the drop down select ABAP system
Fill in the details for your system.
Click on the User Mapping tab
Click on the reference system combo box and select the relevant system
(in this case R3)
Click on the Test Connection button. If the test has been successful you should get a Connection test successful. ~It is important to test the connection before saving otherwise this could cause you lots of problems!
Thanks,
Nick

Group;
Logical System Name, e.g. QWACLNT100;
Message Server;
SAP Client;

UME problem - ABAP roles not showing up in UME

Hello,
I'm having a problem where the ABAP roles (UME groups) for my PI system are not showing up as assigned to a user in the UME. The roles assigned to the user are not reflecting the roles (UME groups) that are in the ABAP side. But, other users are showing up fine. The user is shown to have only the standard basic roles.
This works fine on my development and AS system. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi George,
There is a 30 minute delay before these roles/groups show up in the Java system. Could that be the problem in your case?
See the [documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/45/af3ac012d32e78e10000000a155369/frameset.htm].

Documentation for PI ABAP roles

Hi all,
is there a general documentation for the PI ABAP roles? I assume something like that:
- User should access J2EE Adapter Engines / SOAP Adapter (used for sending a Webservice to PI from a 3rd Party Application) --> necessary role abc
- User should be able to process Alerts in Alert Inbox --> necessary role def
- User should be able to create repository objects --> necessary role ghi
- User should be able to create scenario objects in intergration directory --> necessary role jkl
What I still don't know which ABAP role is used for which purpose. We'd like to assign minimal roles to the users.
BR
Holger

Hi,
Check in this link:
http://www.erpgenie.com/sap/netweaver/xi/xiauthorizations.htm
For alerts refer this:
The following predefined user roles are available for customizing and administration:
SAP_BC_ALM_CUST for customizing authorization.
SAP_BC_ALM_ADMIN for administration authorization. The administrator has the authorization for all activities. He or she can also read and confirm alerts for other users. In addition, the administrator can execute report RSALRTPROC to delete, escalate, and deliver alerts as well as to delete logs.
For the sending of alerts via external communication methods (e-mail, sms, fax) and for inbound processing, an RFC user has to be created on the central alert server with the role SAP_BC_ALM_ALERT_USER. The authorization objects contained in this role are S_OC_SEND and S_RFC.
Accessing alert inbox the userid has to have the role SAP_XI_MONITOR.
SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR - Alert Management Administrator Give this rights
Refer the SAP_XI_ADMI topic and see the roles.

Roles needed for IR and ID:
Role: SAP_XI_Developer
SAP_XI_DEVELOPER (Composite)
SAP_SLD_DEVELOPER

R/3 Transaction Iviews vs Imported ABAP Roles on Portal

Hi,
In one of our requirement, Business needs to set up such that client should be able to have web based access to R/3 Transaction through Portal.
We can achieve that by creating system in portal and create Transaction iview with required T-code of R/3.
Whats wrong if we can define roles in ABAP system for a user with full hierirachy and import those ABAP roles into portals.and through portal we can give unified web based access to imported roles?
Does both the possibilities accomplish our need?what are main gaps between these two methods?
I want to go by Import method,Any suggestions please?
Cheers
Rani

Hi Michael,
I agree with you that the ABAP role has a complicated menu structure and uploading has to be done at regular basis.
Is there any mechanism through which any change in ABAP role structure in R/3 reflects in portal exactly so that there is no need of regular uploading?
If not?So in which business scenario uploading of ABAP roles into portals are helpful?whats the use?
Coming back to your second solution
It is much easier to have one transaction iView that starts transaction SMEN, which presents the user's full SAP menu in a single screen
But about about a user if he wants to navigate from this transaction SMEN to another transactions to which he is authorised to(R/3 Back-end)through this single Transaction iview.
In other words if we want to have access to 5 transaction iviews in R/3,do we need to create 5 corresponding transaction iviews in portals?How to achieve this requirement in a better way?
Waiting for you Reply
Bye and have a Nice Day
Rani
