Authorization Migration Effort

Hi Experts,
We are planning to upgrade BW3.0 to NW2004S BI. Understand that migrating from report authorization to analysis authorization is strongly recommended, we are planning to take that approach.
Can you advise me what are the factors we should use to consider on estimation of the effort for such a migration? And how much effort is usually required from other projects?
Thanks.
Peter

Hi,
It depends of the way your authorizations has been setup. If you did it role based or profiles direct to the customer. You should also look into the fact that the migration tool can create direct a profile (not a role with a profile). My way of working in a role based application was that I looked for the roles with objects s_rs_mpro, s_rs_icub, s_rs_odso, s_rs_iset(these are the objects that needs to be replaced with RSECADMIN) and the own build objects with rssm. I added the authorization object s_rs_auth to the role and the new objects made with RSECADMIN. If you transport then the roles and objects made in RSECADMIN it works good. Bottom line beaware of profiles that are not created by the profile generator.

Analysis Authorization Migration Question

Analysis Authorization Migration Question
This is detail Question
1) I am testing Analysis Authorization Migration in NW2004s SP9 and have applied all OSS notes that are relevant to SP09 and are coming in SP10.
2) We have 2 Info object flagged as Authorization relevant 0COMP_CODE and 0COSTCENTER
3) We have Object level security set-up in BW 3.x system and for a role we have specified values like 0COMP_CODE has value 1000, 1800. :. In the same role we have specified 0COSTCENTER value 130001 to 180001, : and hierarchy node.
4) When we migrate to Analysis Authorizations, using RSEC_MIGRATION, this program creates 2 Authorizations ZCOCODE00 & ZCOSTCTRH00. Both of them have 0COMP_CODE and 0COST_CENTER Objects.
5) ZCOCODE00 authorization gets value 0COMP_CODE values 1000, 1800. : and 0COSTCENTER Value :.
6) On the same line ZCOSTCTRH00 gets value 130001 to 180001, : and 0COMP_CODE :.
1st Question:
1) Why does it create 2 Authorizations?
2) During Checking it does not pass the authorizations, because it seems to me that it fails in Optimization process.
3) I manually merge the authorizations in ONE object then authorization check passes. In other word if I combine ZCOSTCTRH00 & ZCOCODE00 then Query authorization check passes.
Any one is struggling on this.
Please note, I am doing Migration so that it updates existing Profiles (Roles now from SP9).
Any comments will be very help full.
Pankaj Gupta

Hello Pankaj
There are some basic misunderstandings on your side.
Let me try to clarify:
First we should distinguish between migration of authorizations and of what a query does with them.
You had 2 auth objects before migration (in 3.x).
Of course, they must be migrated to 2 new analysis auths.
There is no general possibility to combine authorizations to a single one as the may appear in different roles and users. Moreover this would kill performance and finally, nobody would recognize the origin.
Only in very restricted cases one could think of a combination of auths which come out of migration. But, then people loose overview about what goes on.
Before the corrections in note "Migration IV" the : had not been inserted but now it is for good reasons.
Now, accept for the moment that you receive 2 auths.
Then, you cannnot (must not) combine the 2 resulting authorizations!
Authorization 1
COMP_CODE : 1000, 1300, :
Cost Center : :
Authorizations 2
Comp_Code :
Cost Center : 3100001-31999999; : plus a Hierarchy Node.
This means that e.g. combination
COMP_CODE 1000
COST_CENTER 3100001-31999999
is not allowed!!! Therefore, they must not be combined!
Also, the query and its optimization is comepletely independent of the migration. And here, during query run time the auths cannot be combined. It is no failure!
Moreover, the merging optimization is just a performance optimizaiton and has nothing to do with whether the query result is authorized or not.
If you combine them manually you have authorized different combinations.
Well, now you may wonder why you get 2 auths at all which leads to a "no auth" result in the query execution.
The reason is, that in 3.x where you got a result with your 2 auth objects the modeling was wrong.
If you want to authorize any combination of characteristic values, you should combine these characteritics together in one auth object, not in 2!
(In BI7.0 it works like that but not in 3.x)
But you defined 2 which may be valid even in several other InfoProviders independently and not even at the same time. Moreover, the auth objects may come from different roles and may be assigend to different users which then have completely different auth content. In general it is not possible to combine different auth objects or to find out those special situations which nevertheless allow for such optimizations. If you re-do a migration with more objects and users you could even receive different results which is also not satisfying.
Therefore, instead, the mechanism was introduced to insert a : auth to those characteristics that are auth relevant (and checked now with 7.0) but not in the currently processed auth object.
In you special case it may have made sense to combine them but not in general. And a migration can only try to work as general as possible.
For your application you may combine the 2 auths manually if you want to allow also the crossover combinations
COMP_CODE 1000
COST_CENTER 3100001-31999999

SVM - Storage array migration effort

We have several Solaris servers which have both internal drives not under SVM control and Array based SVM devices built into filesystems.
We need to do 2 things:
1) Migrate internal drives to Array based luns
2) Migrate existing SVM luns to new storage array.
I found and read through the Admin guide for SVM, and it appears to address "migration" only in relation to creating a mirror for an existing volume.
What I would like to do is replace (or mirror) the underlying devices of an existing filesystem, not the entire filesystem at the top level.
Im much more familiar with Linux LVM, where I would add new PV's to an existing VG and use the pvmove command.
I don't see a similiar capability in Solaris 10 LVM so wanted to check with the more experienced folks on how to proceed with this array migration effort.
Thanks

We are moving from an 10+ yr old HDS to a new VNX.
While EMC can physically move the data, I don't have any way to change the config on the SVM (that I know of) to use the new devices.
AFAIK I would have to do the migration at the SVM layer in order for the FS to be properly linked to it's underlying LUNS.
As for the existing FS on the local disk, that can be done by umounting the FS and moving, but I don't see an easy way to migrate the root volume without a rebuild of the root filesystem...

Migration Effort estimation.

Hi All,
Now days we are getting a lot of enquiries regarding the migration of SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013 from Customers. Biggest challenge I am facing in migration is, the cost of migration.
We are using the Content DB upgrade approach for Migration.
Do anyone know any free tool that can help me in migration efforts estimation?
Regards Restless Spirit

It will help but you might end up in errors if you have lots of customizations. so I would say the best approach is
migrate VIA SP 2010 and then to SP 2013 from SP 2007. you need to plan in such a way that migration application/database by application. should perform no of dry runs in the test envionments and find out what are the potentiall issues and making note of
them.etc. by direct approach you will not have issues interms of data loss and customization and metadata, effort is more but it will be good and smooth, where as with quest or any other third party tool cannot not say you will have smooth migration
depends on my past experience with it.
Thanks, Ram Ch

Report Authorization issues after Authorization Migration in BI 7.0

Hi SAPians,
we are facing report access for the customers after migration of authorizations (3.x to 7.0). All these are Customer reports and need to restrict their customer codes only. In two ways, i have tried to resolved this.
1. Roles - Maintained Customer Number in the authorized object CUSTOMER - Not working.
2. Created new authorization object through RSECADMIN and maintained the Customer Number with proper activity, validity etc.. - Not Working
(For Ex. Customer Number is "11500" and length of Char is 10)
While executing the report, i am getting below error:
Value "0000011500" for variable "Customer Authorization(Multiple Optional)" is invalid
Message no. BRAIN643
Diagnosis
Characteristic value "0000011500" is not valid for variable Customer Authorization(Multiple Optional).
Thanks and Regards,
Venkat

Running Service pack and Authorization migration at the same time

Hi BI Experts,
We are in a situation where planned to run new Enhance pack 3 (from EHP1) in BI 7 system and also in same system migration of Bw 3.5 Authorization concept to BI 7 analysis Authorization. Both the activities are planned at the same time in same system.
Do you guys see any risk running two activities at the same time in same BI 7 system?
Would you please highlight your thought or opinion on this?

Authorization Migration BW 3.5 BI 7.0

HI all,
I notice, there are a lot of documents about the authorization's migration;
In spite of this fact some aspect for me is not still too clear.
I have BW 7.01 with a very simple authorization scenario.
In fact all the roles are used just to allow the users to access to informations of a specified Cube (Ex. ZUSER1 can access just all the cubes which the technical name start by ZPC*).
I tried to migrate this scenario with the program RSEC_MIGRATION .
Now, the authorizations that before the migration were in the authorization object S_RS_CUBE seem to be in the object 0TCAIPROV (I understood well?), but when I try to open that interval with RSECADMIN transaction, the system warning me that "0TCAIPROV is not a relevant auth object."
I have to change the configuration of the infoobject in business Explorer and to flag auth Relevant?.
If anyone have an "how to" that can help me I'll be grateful to him if he'll send it to me.
Best regards.

Authorization migration from BW2004 to BI2004s

Dear Experts,
Im working in a project migration from BW production (Ver 3.5) to BI development (Ver 7). My questions are the follow:
Before migration the reporting user role and administration user role through report RSEC_MIGRATION, I need transport all of role from BW2004 to BI2004s and after that migration in BI2004s environment. What would I do before use to report RSEC_MIGRATION? I have to transport by transaction RSA1 in BW2004 or transaction PFCG and creating customizing package.
Thank for all,
Luis

Dear Chetan,
I try to explain with more detail:
I need to understand all process
Before upgrade(from 3.5 to 7.0) I have some role in 3.5 Prod. After that I transport the role in 3.5 Prod to 7.0 Dev. Them I migrate trough transaction SE38 with RSEC_MIGRATION all of roles transported from 3.5 Prod.
Thank for all,
Luis

Alex,
If your implied question is, "Looks like the iMT did not migrate
this block
of code. What is my next step?" Then I have an answer for you. If
I
misinterpreted your email then please clarify.
The procedure for ND migration using the iMT (as outlined in the
documentation
under <iMT_install_dir>/docs) is that customized code originally
provided by
the ND developer is purposely commented out so that the file can
compile.
Our experience in migration efforts shows that it is preferrable to
the
migrator to be able to select which part of the application they
want to
work
on by uncommenting specific blocks of code - allowing for
incremental
edit/compile/test cycles. If we left all this arbitary code un-
commented,
then nothing would compile after migration and you would have a huge
roadblock for moving forward.
Judging from the "spider" APIs which are still seen in your code
block, you
must not have run the Regular Expression API mapping tool which
will take
care of many of this code. I believe that the API mapper will
migrate this
block of code almost 100% and you just need to uncomment it.

Analysis Authorization (Role, Profile and Direct Assignments)

Analysis Authorization Question:
1) In BW 3.x environment, customers have used Role Maintenance Process to assign proper object level security and then assign to the users.
2) Most of the places R/3 security team takes over support/administration function of BI Security and they continue to use Role method to assign Reporting Authorizations as per the process defined in BW 3.x system.
3) Customer sometime have 100 + Roles to have 3.X Reporting Authorizations. This is Managed, assigned, approved using role concept.

Migration Options:
1) New Analysis Authorization makes process of Role Maintenance like "hierarchy authorizations" of BW 3.x. You have to create Value in other transactions and assign them in Role as a pointer or link object. With Analysis Authorization concept, Actual value of the Object Assigned Like Company code 1100 not visible in Role Maintenance PFCG transactions. It is only visible in Transaction code RSECADMIN.
2) Analysis Migration Tool - RSEC_MIGRATION does not update ROLES. It creates or changes PROFILES.
3) Profiles are assigned to the users and Roles does not reflect any Impact by Analysis Authorization migration.
Questions
a) This means customer need to update all the roles by hand. If they want to use Roles to manage the assignment of the Security to users. Migration Tool does not update Roles, it only updates PROFILES.
b) Does any one use direct assignment to Users? It is good business practice?
c) Is Profiles recommended method of Authorization Maintenance?
d) Can we run migration tool to create Analysis Authorizations, but not assign to the users as a Profile. But stop at creating Analysis Authorizations. If Customer wants to use Roles maintenance process then, they can do not have delete profile assignments from all users before updating Roles using Analysis Authorizations.
Just want to check how other folks have done migration that can be supported going forward.
Pankaj Gupta

Hey Pankaj,
In general, assigning the analysis authorization directly to user makes a lot of sense for granular levels of authorization. For example, if you had 3,000 users, 3,000 specific authorization combinations, and 3,000 roles, using roles is a lot of additional overhead. If you had 12 roles and 3,000 users, your role concept makes a lot of sense.
Therefore, the recommendation is that it varies on what makes the most sense logically. Authorization groups can be created to group analysis authorizations and combine them. Also, you have the ability to generate analysis authorizations using the Content Datastores for this. That is an option as well.
RSEC_MIGRATION does use profiles as you've stated. If you want, there would be manual work to convert to roles afterwards. In case you haven't seen Marc's presentation on security, it's pretty good and covers how to generate authorizations from the datastore.

PS migration: How to stop auto-creation of PR for completed activities?

We are migrating project master & transactional data from R/3 4.7 to ECC5. In the old system, majority of the ext. activities in our projects already carries the status REL. Purchase Requisition was auto-created > PO done > GR/IR done > actual cost for the ext. activity already posted into the project.
In our migration effort, we are transferring the whole project structure & master data from the old 4.7 to ECC5 and subsequently updating the system & user statuses of the whole project structure.
How can we stop the system from auto-creating a PR again when the statuses are updated for those activities that are already completed, i.e. actual cost posted, as in 4.7 system?
We thought of using the logic if a PO exist for the activity in the 'old' system, then the field AFVGD-AUDISP (Res/Pur.req) for the activity in CJ20N should be set to 'Never'. However, my ABAPer was saying this could not be done as AFVGD is a structure and not a table.
Have any one of you face similar predicament? Is there other method to address this issue? Appreciate your assistance.

Hi Varshal,
Thanks for the suggestion.
However, we thought of an alternate method that does involve changing the customers existing business process.
1) Change the field AUDISP in the network profile to 1 "Never" for the conversion.
2) Migrate the data. Program will create Networks, Activities & Components with the field AUDISP set to "Never create Reservation or Purchase Requisition".
3) Change the field in AUDISP in the network profile back to "2 From Release".
We will have to get the users to clean-up their data (close outstanding PRs or convert those PRs to POs) before this exercise for a clean cut-over.

E130 - Migrate WIn 7 Pro to SSD

Hi!
I have a Lenovo Edge E130 and I have recently inserted a 128 GB SSD into the extra mSATA slot in addition to the 500 GB HDD. Now I want to migrate Win 7 Pro 64 bit and my programs from the HDD to the SSD, in order to start the laptop from the SSD only in the future. The 500 GB HDD will just be used for data storage.
However, my migration efforts from HDD to SDD so far failed I attempted it twice, using a) the migration option in Easeus Partition Master 10.2, and b) an image of partition C: from an external USB drive.
I assume that it could have failed due to the Lenovo setup of Win 7. There is a partition "Windows_7_OS" on C: and a "System_Drv" partition labeled with a "*". I don't have Win 7 installation CDs/DVDs, only those for Win 8.1, but I want to keep on using Win 7.
What do I have to do to successfully migrate Win 7 Pro 64 bit and my programs to the SSD?
Thanks for your answers!
Solved!

Dear Alex5723,
thanks a lot for this helpful link. Now that I am back to a running system and to the Windows desktop, I will go on following the suggestions for optimization of SSD performance suggested there.
But first I had to solve some other problems. Here's the story how I succeeded to migrate Win 7 and programs from an HDD to an SSD, both of which now run parallel in my Lenovo E130 with Win 7 on the SSD:
1) I installed the 128 GB SSD into the additional mSATA slot.
2) Using the existing Win 7 system on the HDD, I chose Acronis True Image 2015 (free demo version available) to save an image of partition C: (OS and programs) to an external USB drive.
3) Next I created an Acronis rescue CD.
4) I have shut down the laptop and removed the HDD.
5) I booted from the Acronis rescue CD and copied the saved image to the new SSD.
6) Then I restarted and changed the boot sequence to first boot from the SSD and started windows. This stopped after a while before getting to the desktop with a blue screen telling me Windows was not genuine (build 7601). My Win 7 Pro 64 bit is genuine (pre-installed OEM version). The problem was that the new OS was not in the C partition. Apparently, you can avoid such a screen when you don't assign a partition and a partition letter to the new SSD, so that the space on the SSD just remains unallocated. That's what I did (made the SSD a primary partition, partition letter was E). The very easy and quick solution to that problem is nicely described here: http://www.anotherwindowsblog.com/2011/02/windows-7-not-genuine-after-disk-clone.html
7) Now that my desktop is back again (everything looks and works like on the HDD before), I have shut down the laptop again and reinstalled the HDD. I went on deleting the old operating system partitions on the HDD and reallocated this space to my data storage partition, but you might prefer to do something else.
8) Next step I will take is to follow the optimization of SSD performance suggestions that are included in the instructions Alex5723 referred to:
