AIS (Audit Information Systems) and Process controls

Dear Experts
Have you seen any customer using AIS (Audit Information Systems) and Process controls, simultaneously for Audit purposes? Can we use the GRC Process Controls for Scheduling regular Audits, inaddition to the Internal Control Assessments?
Thanks & Regards
Swarna

Hi Swarna,
Have you seen any customer using AIS (Audit Information Systems) and Process controls, simultaneously for Audit purposes?
Yes. AIS is purely in SAP users and authorizations, and PC can be used at different levels.
Can we use the GRC Process Controls for Scheduling regular Audits, inaddition to the Internal Control Assessments?
The data from the PC is used in the ICAs. So PC itself can't/may not provide all the information that is required by the auditors.

Hi
From SAP Release 4.6C (support package SAPKH46C27, R/3 Core for FI and Logistics), the program concept of AIS has been switched from the previous menu method (SECR transaction) to a role-based maintenance environment (PFCG transaction).

Differences between MIC and Process control

Hi
Could someone please let me know what are the major differences between MIC and process control 2.5.
I have heard that Process control 2.0 is not being used now.
So could you please let me know what the differences for MIC and Process control 2.5.
Regards
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,
the major differences are:
- automated controls (SAP and non-SAP systems)
- UI interface based on NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC)
- flexibility on scheduling assessments and tests based on control attributes
- configurable reports and extraction to either .pdf or .xls
- possibility to se configure workflow to send reminders and escalations
- integration with Access Control 5.3, RAR component
- concept of service providers allowing controls to be referenced between different organizations (former MIC orgunit)
- assessments based on surveys (questions to be answered)
- effectiveness tests based on test plan (both tests and steps)

Which products/modules 4 auditing/testing current SOD & process controls ?

What GRC modules and products will i need to test and audit (functional only):
i) key controls of business process (P2P, O2C etc)
ii) SOD (segregation of duties) violations for various users
iii) core business cycles (inventory, expenditure, revenue etc)

What GRC modules and products will i need to test and audit (functional only):
i) key controls of business process (P2P, O2C etc) - All the GRC modules starting with eGRCM for all your documentation and test cycles, AACG,PCG, and CCG & TCG for continuous control monitoring
ii) SOD (segregation of duties) violations for various users - AACG
iii) core business cycles (inventory, expenditure, revenue etc) - All the GRC modules starting with eGRCM for all your documentation and test cycles, AACG,PCG, and CCG & TCG for continuous control monitoring
My first approach will e the testing objectives to determine what module will be appropriate. Again, all GRC modules help complement each other understanding the products and how they can be leverage will address all your questions in detail.
I hope the information above is helpful.
Thanks,

System and security control panel

Could someone with a W520 take a screenshot of the lenovo apps in their "system and security" section of control panel please. I am doing a ground up install from bare windows 7 to get rid of the preloaded SQL server 2005 and adding back the programe I want.
Just want to seee what came preloaded.
Thanks

njb,
Why not just run the ThinkVantage System Update and let it install as usual. You can also "un-check" those drivers that you don't want to install.

I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

Concurrent Systems and Processes

I am working on a concurrency problem of a shop who can have no more than 5 people in the store at one time, the shopkeeper can only serve one customer at a time and during that time the customer has exclusive access to the shopkeeper, after the customer has got access to the shopkeeper the shopkeeper will wait until the customer indicates he is ready to make a purchase and will then wait until his items are bagged. I am told to assume that a customer that enters the shop will always purchase an item.
I would appreciate it if someone would look at my code and see if I am going about the problem in the correct way or not, thanks.
/* Note. You can assume that customers entering the shop will queue up in
/* an orderly fashion and begin to be served starting with the one currently
/* at the head of the queue.
Global Invariant: (num_cust_in_shop <= SHOP_CAPACITY)
process main_process
     /* declare and initialise global values/variables
     final int SHOP_CAPACITY = 5;
     int num_cust_in_shop = 0; //initially the shop is empty
     int NUM_CUSTOMERS = 20; // this is the number of potential customers
     boolean lock = false; // this lock ensures exclusive update of global variable
     //set processes running
     co for [j=1 to NUM_CUSTOMERS] customer_process[j] // shopkeeper_process oc
} //end main_process
//customer process
process customer_process [int I=1 to N]
     while(true){

     {...one customer enters shop...};
     //exclusive update of global variable num_cust_in_shop

Your very best bet is to take this to your instructor and ask him. He knows what he wants. What ever you have there is not valid Java code.

Dump on screen when configuring Process controlled workflow

Hi Experts,
I am facing 1 problem in SAP SRM 7 ehp1. I am configuring Process controlled workflow. Previous workflow settings was Application controlled workflow as its been upgraded from SRM 5. If i run a RFX (BUS2200) cycle in application controlled workflow environment, it works flawlessly.
But when i change my workflow framework to process controlled workflow for all Business Objects. I face a dump when I am creating an RFX. The dump on the portal is:

the only configuration I change in the system is I changed the workflow framework to process controlled workflow.
Kindly help.
Thanks
Anand

Hello Anand,
As per standard SAP recommendations the application-controlled workflow framework is only intended to be used if you are upgrading from SAP SRM 5.0 or earlier and you need to continue using your existing work-flows.
The default workflow framework setting is the process-controlled workflow from SRM 6.0 on-wards and the user will be provided a option to switch to the application-controlled workflow framework. The option to switch to process-controlled workflows is available only after you have once switched to application-controlled work flows but there will be a big caution that " If you switch from the application-controlled workflow framework to the process-controlled workflow framework; once a process-controlled workflow has been run, it is not supported that you switch back to application-controlled work-flows".
As per the details given i got a feel that we have tried executing the scenario by switching between application and process controlled workflow and hence the system have become inconsistent and its dumping.
I suggest you to raise a OSS ticket to SAP to resolve the issue.
Best Regards,
Rahul

Risk Management & Process controls for non SAP client

Hi Forum Gurus,
I need clarity on the following: Can Risk managment 3.0 and Process controls be implemented for a non-SAP client?
i.e. Our client does not run SAP, but they are interested in RM and PC, so is this possible to implement?
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Kind regards,
PREVO.

Hi Prevo,
Process control and Risk management 3.0 are delivered within same installation package files so it is same for both the applications .
Also real time agents for Oracle or peoplesoft are avaialble if you want to leverage the automated control functionality of PC 3.0 in non SAP environment.
Remember the automated control functionality is the optional feature of PC3.0.If you wish only to use the manual controls features of PC 3.0 you dont need RTAs(real time agent).
You can find further information about manual controls at http://service.sap.com
use the quicklink '/rkt' then the following menu path: SAP Business Objects for GRC Solutions -> SAP BO Process Control 3.0 -> Technology Consultant

SAP GRC Process Control - General Questions

Hi all,
We have the following general questions regarding SAP GRC Process Control:
1) Assume that we have set up 5 different SAP Connectors in Process Control. When you configured a specific rule and control and then, schedule the job for such control, how does the system (SAP Process Control) knows which back-end system needs to be accesed for such control?
2) In which language are the out-of-the box rule steps's script coded? In which different languages can those scripts be coded, what is to say, in which language can we code our own scripts?
3) How is the detailed flow between SAP Process Control and SAP Back-end system?
Many thanks. Regards,

Archive Information System

Hi experts:
Can anyone tell me whether the Archive Information System (AIS) can be used to store all the archived files data? We were told in SAP Archiving class (BIT660) that you can purchase a third party storage system for ADK FIles. The SAP instructor also said you could purchase AIS and store all your archived ADK Files on AIS. Is that true? Where can I find information about storing all ADK FIles on AIS instead of buying a third party storage system.
Thank you
DennisDK1

Hi,
I may be wrong but, in my understanding, AIS has nothing to do with storing archived data files. For that you use an Archivelink enabled software like IXOS or Filenet or plenty of others.
AIS is Archive Information System and is used to index data archives in order to be able to explore and consult them.

Is migrating open application workflows to process-controlled WFL required?

Dear forum members,
We have upgraded an SRM system from version 5.0 to 7.0 (SP 7) and we have gone live in SRM 7.0 with the old application-controlled workflows still being used for old and new documents.
We are in the process of changing the workflow to the new process-controlled (BRF) workflow and this works OK for new docments in our test systems.
Can you confirm if we MUST migrate the old workflows to the new BRF workflow when we activate the new p-c workflow into the live system?
I would prefer to have the old application-controlled workflow continue for existing document approvals and use the process-controlled workflow for new ones.
My questions are:
1. Can we use both application and process-controlled workflows together at the same time (new docs use p-c workflow, existing approvals to continue to use A-C workflow while they run down)?
2. If not, can we migrate SC n-step BADI workflow to the p-c workflow (report /SAPSRM/PR_WF_MIGRATION_CFG implies not)
Any help or advice is appreciated as always!
Thanks a lot,
Nick

hello,
we are dealing with the same issue in a srm migration from 5.0 to 7.0.
We have a copy of the production system with a lot of open workitems based on application controlled workflows.
We build up new process controlled workflows and activated those for the new shopping carts.
The report for the migration (/SAPSRM/PR_WF_MIGRATION_CFG) of open workitems seems to be not sufficient, because
- all open workitems are going to be restarted, right?
we tried to approve old woritems from the powl, that seems to work. Simultaneously brf workflow works fine.
Right now we are wondering why it should not be possible to finish the old workitems application controlled and the new ones process controlled. Do we miss something?
Has anybody experiences based on customer projects?
kind regards
Carsten

Selection version in Logistics Information system

We execute MCBC transaction as a background job. The output of the MCBC transaction is saved as a Selection version.
The Selection version number range starts from BG000 and runs upto BG 998. After that we try to schedule the MCBC in background, but it fails because no more number open number ranges exist.
Is there any possibility of assigning a new Selection version number range to the LIS info structures ?
Your inputs would be really valuable
Thanks !
