Anyone have Virsa/SAP Compliance Calibrator documentation?

I'd really like a Virsa "Owners Manual", but for now I'd just settle for an explanation of all the parameters contained in table /VIRSA/ZVRATCNFG. Some are self explanatory, some are not. To maintain this table do the following:
1. tcode /n/virsa/zvrat
2. execute
3. menu: compliance calibrator > configuration option
I'd like to know what each parameter does, the possible entries, and the cause and effect result of each entry. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marshall

Dave,
It appears to me that the only credentials required to access that site are SAP Service Marketplace logon (the so-called 'S number'). You can obtain these from the person in your company that administers your SAP licence (usually a basis person). Or, you can apply yourself at http://service.sap.com/request-user .
It is forbidden in this forum to send copywrited documents from user to user.

Does anyone have a SAP CRM Table Relations Diagram? !!

Hello,
For R/3 I have a document containing the relation between the most important database tables. Does anyone have a similar document for SAP CRM? (5.0).
Since I'm new to SAP CRM I would really appreciate if someone could send such a document to me at <removed by SDN Forum Moderator>
(To vikash krishna: I never received the document so I try by posting again...)
Thanks,
Jeroen

Hi,
https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/solutions
In this navigate through, Business solutions and applications -> MySAP Business Suite -> MySAP CRM -> solution library -> CRM powered by Netweaver -> Process Integration -> Business objects.
There you will find table relationships.
Hope this helps.

Virsa CC Compliance Calibrator 5.2 Role Level Analysis Question

Part 1
I would like to know how to run a Role Level Analysis on all of our Role EXCEPT composite roles which all start with ZC:.
Part 2
I would also like to know why there is not a copy paste function. What if I have the names of 50 individual roles that I want to run a report on with all different naming conventions? Is there no way to paste these in? I know I can individual select these one at a time and add another add another etc. However if you have a lot of roles for one functional area I would reall y like to not have to type those in one at a time and one line at a time.
Thanks to all for your help in advance.

Hi Vince
Unfortunatley there is no paste option in Netweaver , unlike the CC version 4.0 , not even in 5.3 I heard.
Either you have run the risk analysis using ranges where in you can say ZS00* to ZSZZ* ( by running this it should cover all the simple roles ,excluding the composite roles , provided your role naming convention is maintianed well)
I know its quite annoying to key in each role , specailly when your naming convention is all over the place.
you can key in the role names once and save variant for the next time to reuse it .
probably you have noticed already there is custom user group in User analyis tabe ,i wonder why they havent one in Role Anlysis , it would made a bit easier atleast.

SAPu00AE COMPLIANCE CALIBRATOR BY VIRSA SYSTEMS

Hello all,
My company are thinking of implementing the above for auditing purposes to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley and compliance. I have read some documentation from the SAP website and this documentation states that:
"Because SAP Compliance Calibrator by Virsa Systems is embedded in your SAP system, no additional hardware or software is required."
Has anyone implemented this soultion? If so is there any additional documentation available for it?
Cheers,
Bernard.

David,
As We are in the process of implementing this virsa tool but we are not sure as to what are the exact steps that we should extract to. Do you have a step by step guide (apart from the VIRSA install guide) which would guide us through the complete install and configuration. We have ECC 6.0 ,Portal,BI 7,CRM 5
Would you be kind enough to send the information to me asap.
Please forward me the doc to following id , I will be very much appreciate if you could do the help ..

Compliance Calibrator 5.2 RTA for Non-SAP Apps

Hi all,
Can SoD rules be written for analyzing a Users access to SAP and NON-SAP applications across the enterprise?
If yes will CC RTA need to be installed on the NON-SAP application?
If yes are there any requirements that need to be met by NON-SAP application and is there a list of NON-SAP applications (other than-Peoplesoft, Oracle, Hyperion, JD Edwards) that CC has an RTA for?
Is there any documentation specific to aplications that can support CC RTAs and installation on these?
-Cheers

Hi,
Yes SoD rules can be written for analyzing user accesses to SAP and non-SAP applications.
Basically there is no other application for which an RTA exists, but there is a documentation discussing the technical requirements for file generation from the non-SAP systems for integration of non-SAP Systems with SAP Compliance Calibrator.
This documentation is available in <a href="http://service.sap.com/rkt-grc">http://service.sap.com/rkt-grc</a>
under SAP GRC Access Control 5.2 -> SAP GRC Compliance Calibrator 5.2 -> Step2: Prepare for your project -> Cross Application Material
You'll need your OSS user-id to access that page; in case you cannot access it, please post a message in the OSS.

Is Compliance Calibrator the same as GRC Access Control?

I have been asked to look at Compliance Calibrator and am getting confused about what functionality is offered. I have done the basic e-learning course for Compliance Calibrator (GRC200): this was all about separation of duties etc. Fair enough. But I also have a Document called "SAP GRC Access Control" which talks about the same S.O.D compliance functionality but also talks of "roles triggering workflows", "users creating roles", "automated approvals for roles" eg:
"SAP GRC Access Control streamlines access requests by filling each request automatically with user identity information from a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) directory or HR database, thereby eliminating the need for user intervention. Approvers receive an e-mail with a direct hyperlink to the request inside the application, where they can easily view and approve the request. The application then checks for security violations before updating accounts automatically."
None of this was covered on the Compliance Calibrator course, so what product offers this? I can see another product by Virsa called Access Enforcer but have no info on this... can anyone enlighten me?

SAP GRC Access Control is the SAP application that comprises the former Virsa products Compliance Calibrator, Access Enforcer, Risk Terminator, Firefighter and Role Expert.

Why upgrade from Compliance Calibrator to GRC?

Hello Experts- My company has yet to implement GRC 5.3. We already utilize SAP Compliance Calibrator by Virsa Systems 4.0, which works fine, so what would be the benefit of upgrading to GRC? Is it really necessary? Is it just to stay current? Also, is it true that GRC will be moving from Java back to an ABAP stack? If so, when is the new ABAP version of GRC set to be available?
Thanks for your advice and opinions.

Regarding the upgrade from 4.0 to 5.3 I concur with Alpesh and Varun.
Regarding the upgrade to 10.0, current plans are for Ramp-up to be available in December 2010 with general release scheduled for mid 2011.
According to the latest material from SAP, they are only supporting a migration path as follows:
4.0 -->5.3 --> 10.0
There is no supported upgrade path from 4.0 directly to 10.0.
It should be noted that it is a significant change in architecture and therefore not a simple migration path. SAP are recommending an upgrade to 5.3 followed by a migration to 10.0 for the technical side of things.
5.3 does still have some significant advantages over 4.0 and therefore is still an option. owever, if you wish to register your interest, SAP are seeking ramp up customers so I would suggest you contact your Consultants or account management within SAP to discuss the options if you are considering it.

SAP GRC Access Control - Compliance Calibrator - License Cost

Dear all,
I have some questions on Compliance Calibrator implementation.
1. Do we have to pay additional cost for the license to implement Compliance Calibrator?
2. Since SAP GRC 5.3 is just released, which one do you recommend? SAP GRC 5.2 or 5.3?
3. What would be the major difference between Compliance Calibrator in GRC 5.2 and 5.3?
Best regards,
Rolando

Hi Rolando-
1. Yes, there lies some license cost and the amount should not as much as taking SAP R/3 license. I am not sure of exact amount but its nominal as compared to other SAP products.
2. SAP always recommend for the latest version available and why not one would go for latest version if you are paying something for that.
Also, it depends on your existing R/3 version and its compatibility. In short run, you can choose per your existing versions but in long run everyone has to move to latest version. Say for example whoever is using SAP R/3 technology with whatever version, they all need to upgrade to ECC6.0 by 2011 with extension upto 2013. I am not sure of any such information about GRC AC though.
3. Some enhancement have been done with CC 5.3. Those features include-
1. Risk analysis for SAP Enterprise Portal and UME
2. BI integration for custom reporting
3. Reporting enhancement features include additional auditor, business manager and IT reports
4. SOD management by exception. Can be integrated with workflow.
5. Import/Export of configuration data
6. Migration scripts
7. Download and print capability on every report.
Some performance improvements-
1. Concurrent risk analysis.
2. batch mode risk analysis
3. Improved memory mgmnt etc.
Hope it gives you now some more visibility.
Cheers!

4.6C to ECC 6.0 upgrade - Issue with Virsa Compliance Calibrator

The issue is that phase IS_SELECT during the PREPARE is not detecting VIRSA as an add-on. This of course will result in VIRSA not being upgraded and the system will be unstable ( note 989368 ). Also, I can't choose to delete the add-on either.
We installed the compliance calibrator before SAP purchased VIRSA. So, the tool was installed through transports, not SAINT. I assume this is why phase IS_SELECT is not seeing the tool.
Any ideas?
-Scott

Received a reply from SAP. Since VIRSA was installed through STMS the IS_SELECT phase will not see the add-on. I had to do the ECC 6 upgrade as normal and then install VIRSA 4.0 for SAP 700 systems through SAINT.
I had to clear SPDD and SPAU as much as possible for /VIRSA/* objects. However, there were six objects I could not clear. This did not cause any issues.
Notes 1006083 and 985617 are needed for this procedure.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Re: Virsa Compliance Calibrator & Pre-defined SOD Rule Set

Hi All,
We have installed the Virsa Compliance calibrator 5.1 in our sandbox environment. When we goto the "Rule Architect" tab under Compliance calibrator using tcode /virsa/zvrat it brings up the page with Rules information.
Per the Virsa documents that i read they have mentioned that there are pre-defined SOD Rules (Transaction codes and Tcode objects) that we can use in the Rule Architect.
My question is how do i enable and use those pre-set SOD Rules that Virsa provides by default. I do not see them under the Rule architect tab though. Can someone give some pointers to use these pre-set SOD rules.
Thanks & Regards
-Murali

Hi Laziz,
Thanks for your patience in replying to my CC 5.1 queries. I did follow your steps for the Generate Rule & Background Job-> Schedule Analysis and scheduled the job immediate.
However, when i looked up the status of the scheduled analysis Background Job-> Search pulls up the job i scheduled at the top it reads "Job scheduler Status: unknown error" . I clicked on "View Log" button and it shows some messages as shown below (Note: I am just posting some parts of the error msgs below. but it still goes for 1 page...)

Update on Management View in VIRSA Compliance Calibrator 5.2

Hello,
is there a way to delete the Data for the Management View in VIRSA Compliance Calibrator 5.2 and then make a full new data load.
When I select Full Synchronisation and Management Reports in the Schedule Analysis, the system does not update the Management View correctly, the Management Report shows still roles which are already deleted in the SAP-System.
Thanks

Hi,
You can do a Full sync of Users and Roles first which will be ovewrite and then run the Batch Risk Analysis Management Reports.
You can try this exercise first if it does not work then go ahead with Alpesh's advice.
Thanks

SAP GRC 5.2 Compliance Calibrator rule sets for HR module

HI All,
The company i am working for has done installation of GRC 5.2. I would like to download the SAP out of box Compliance Calibrator rule sets for HR function module in a spreadsheet format.
I would like to download the rule set for risks at Function level, Tcode level and also at authorization object level in ABAP and Roles, actions and permissions in JAVA.
I will discuss with the BPAs, internal auditors and come up with a new rule set exclusively for my company needs with the help of the above spreadhseet.
Please tell me what steps i need to do to get this thing done.

Please go through the process but save these as txt files for UNIX. I am not sure about 5.2 but CC4 was not uploading rule files correctly if file was not saved for TXT for UNIX.

NVIDIA control (Shadowplay mostly) with LabVIEW via ActiveX - Does anyone have documentation?

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to capture my monitor video at around 30fps. ShadowPlay works well with my graphics card, and I've found that there is an ActiveX Library on the PC. The attached screenshot shows an example code for 5 seconds of capture.
Shadowplay only captures one monitor but I want it to capture both, or make two videos (one for each monitor) preferably. Although a possible work around would be recording one at a time but being able to programatically change between the two. The Shadowplay library is: ShadowPlayServerLib and the NVIDIA Library is: NVI2Lib (I presume this is NVIDIA but could be wrong)
I can't find any documentation on the activeX commands so I'm struggling to know what inputs and outputs of the property nodes should be. Does anyone have any? A search of the internet brings up my own forum post on NVIDIAs website:
https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/805560/geforce-experience/shadowplay-activex-documentation-...
Any help on the NVIDIA/ShadowPlay side of things would be great, alternatively any ideas for capturing video at 30fps (I tried to use .NET to capture the screen shots to png files but it only managed 2.5fps without saving them)
Many thanks
