Change/Edit Request Attributes in CUP at Approval Stage

Hi All,
We have SAP GRC AE/CUP 5.3 SP07 installed in our environment. In our work flow of the request, there is a requirement that some of the request attributes need to be changed by the role owner/ approver at the approval stage of the request. The request contains both SAP standard as well as some custom attributes. I only see an option to edit the validity date or the roles/profiles of the request at the approval stage. Is this option configurable? If not, do we have any work around to achieve the requirement?
Thanks, Anil

Hi Harleen and Alpesh,
We are in GRC 5.3 SP8 and we would like to allow approvers in each stages to change the validity date (e.g. Valide to date) in a role request.   Here is the situation:
I have a workflow path which has two approval stages.   Both stages were configured to allow "Change Request Content".    What I noticed is the approver in the first approval stage can change the validity date and then approve the request.    But when the request is on the 2nd approval stage, the approver can no longer modify the validity date.  
Is this the same scenario which Harleen said that "You cannot edit the information of a request once it enters the approval stages"?   If this is the same scenario, do you know whether a fix is considered by  or available from SAP? 
There may be situations where we don't want the 2nd approver to overwirte what 1st approver has approved.   However, in some situations we may want to keep that flexibility to let the later approver to have the last say.
Thanks for your input.

  • How to change the content in request at approval stage

    Dear experts,
    We have a requirement like following:
    Frist, User submits a new account request, the field "Position" is set to cerntain value, eg. sales support
    Then, Manager should have the capbility to change the content in field "Position", such as changeing sales support to sales manager, when he approves the request.
    However, it seems that only very few fields can be changed after request submition.
    How could we configure AC to let the managers can change the content in request at approval stage?
    Thanks a lot!

    Tang,
    In the stage for the Manager set the "Change Request" to 'Yes'.  This will open up a few fields for you, including user group, role validity dates, etc.  I do not believe this will open up position though.

  • Is deriving or check Change Request attributes in DERIVE_ENTITY or CHECK_ENTITY

    Hi,
    I'd have a requirement to derive or check  the Change Request attributes like Change Request Reason and Change Request Priority , e.g if CR Priority is empty, set to a specific value or Check if Change Request Reason is set.
    I know via an OSS message that we are not able to derive or check CR attributes using BRF+ but can we derive or check using the BADI?

    The BRF+ and BAdI solutions are directed more towards the master data entities. If you "only" want to default or check the CR header, then one idea is to enhance the CR Header handler class. Please see this document that describes how to enhance the CR Header. You don't need to add a field, but you can learn the technique of adding checks, etc. to the GenIL model handler class.

  • Prevent Change agent from making changes to requests after approved

    Does anyone know how to block changes made to a Change Request after it has been approved?

    If you're talking about preventing changes to a change request record after it's been approved, I have a couple suggestions, but they require custom development effort.
    One possibility would be to create a custom control applied to the Change Request form that does this for you. Using Anton's custom control technique, you could create a control that, when the form loads, reads the current state of a
    CR's review activity and, if it's approved, finds and disables all of the controls on the form.
    http://blog.scsmsolutions.com/2011/08/create-custom-user-control-for-scsm-2010/ This post is for SCSM 2010, but the principal is the same for SCSM 2012.
    Another possibility is to create your own Change Request form from scratch that implements similar capability (ie: every time the form is opened, the FormLoad event checks the state of the review activity and disables/enabled all other form controls appropriately).
    Creating your own form would require you to override the out-of-the-box form for which there is no supported method yet. Plus, creating your own change request form would require much more development effort including knowledge of Visual Studio, WPF/XAML,
    C#, and the unsupported console API.
    These techniques to "block" changes will only work on a form, though. A user would still be able to make changes directly with powershell or the SDK. They could also make changes with any of the out-of-the-box console tasks that manipulate change requests.
    I'm afraid there's no "simple" answer, though.
    However, keep in mind that all changes to any record in Service Manager are recorded in the history of that record. So while it might be difficult to block changes, you can always review any changes that were made after a CR has been approved, including
    who made the change and when. That's more of a reactive approach instead of a proactive approach.

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    Hello,
    so far, the reply I have received is that it should be possible to implement TXGLO 601 during this Support Package update.
    I am not sure I agree with that take, I will discuss whether it is possible to release the ACP in some way. It does not look easy though.

    Yes, Approver can modify form data. Claim the request and modify form data.

  • CUP: Avoid requests to be pending for approval: Best approach?

    Hi all,
    We would like to receive inputs for the different approaches you are using to avoid requests to be pending for approval.
    What is to say, to provide provisioning for new users eventough the role owner of one role requested hasn't respond the request.
    Many thanks in advance. best regards,
      Imanol

    Hi Imanol,
    Suppose a request is pending for approval to an approver. You can do following things
    1 Send Reminder mail. You can configure reminder mails in Configuration-> workflow->Email reminder.
    From here you can configure the time period and the email contents.
    2 you can set escalation. You set escalation navigating to configuration-> workflow-> stage.
    open a stage, you can set wait time and escalation configuration
    you can escalate to next satge, alternate approver & to administrator.
    3 you can also configure stale request setting.
    Configuration-> requests-> stale request.
    you can define the time period of the stale request.
    All open requests will be closed after that period. you need to run the background job for that.
    proviosning will not happen in this case

  • Request attribute vs parameter

    Hi all,
    I am getting confused of request attribute and request parameter. What i understand is that a parameter is a piece of info that send with the request. Such that infomation (parameter) come from a form component (text field, radiobuttion,selection...). By using servlet.getParameter("my text filed") i can retrieve what user enter into the form.
    In the similar maner, if from one servlet, i use request.setAttribute("a message","content of a message") i can also retrive the content of the message from another servlet using getAttribute.
    In short, parameter is for form-servlet communication and attribute is for servlet-servlet communication, am i correct? Can I change the parameter of the request from a servlet?
    Is there any other different between these 2?

    I still dont get it. You said
    HttpServletRequest doesnt have get/setAttribute(arg0, arg1) method.
    But it does. http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/
    Again, my concern is whether i can exchange value of parameter and attribute. Assuming the following scenario:
    a user want to access a protected servlet /financial. This servlet notice that the user has not been login yet. Thus, it record the url of the request as a attribute:
    //inside /financial servlet
    if((req.getSession(false).getAttribute("curUser")) == null)
          dest="/WEB-INF/docs/authentication/login.jsp";
          req.setAttribute("oriUrl",req.getRequestURL());
          } then it forward the request to login.jsp. After user input his infomation, the login.jsp send a NEW request with the user's credential to the /authentication servlet. Now, as you can see, when the authentication servlet receive the request, it doesnt know that the user was trying to access the /financial servlet before because the oriUrl attribute is lost. What i getting at here is how I can retain the oriUrl attribute over requests? I need to capure that attribute and associate it with a new request as a parameter. But HOW?
    Hope you can help

  • How to change only one attribute at the host

    Hi experts,
    we use host configuration with special host types. If we want to change only one attribute of the host with the cli we must change all attributes associates with the host. If we define only one new attribute all other values are set (back) to the default of the host type..
    (in the gui all works fine...)
    Is there a chance to change a only one attribute and keep all other attribute values of the host ?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    No, it is not possible to do that.
    All attributes (passed via -attr) are treated as a single argument to the host modification (similar to a name or description). Essentially, when you provide a -attr argument to hdb.h.mod, the command will reset the existing overridden attributes and consider only the new attributes coming thorugh the -attr arg for overriding.
    You see it working from the UI properly because, the UI requests for overriding all atributes once again, even though you manually changed only one attribute.

  • CUP Workflow - Approval on role level

    Hi Community,
    I have a question regarding the design/capabilities of CUP.
    Scenario:
    Stage 1 - based on Functional Area --> approval on request level
    Stage 2 - based on organisational area of role --> approval on role level
    ===========================================
    In stage 2, the person A receives the request with all the roles (let's say 10). Out of these 10 roles, there are 3 within his area. I understand that 7 are greyed out and therefore only approval for "his" 3 roles is required.
    Here come the questions:
    - If I set the stage to "mitigation enforced", a risk analysis needs to be performed. That Risk Analysis will deliver risks that derive from all 10 roles or only the 3?
    - Since approval needs to be given for the other 7 roles as well by person B, the request is forwarded to person B once the person A approves. What is the order that CUP applies here? Who gets the request first? I know that the request is not split and parallel processing does not take place since I do not use different initiators... so it must be some kind of order that is applied.
    Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
    Mo

    Mo,
       The risk analysis is always performed on full CUP request. It does not care @ who is the approver at that point.
    Also, role owner level approval always happens parallely. You should try this and you will see it. There is no order. Both person A and person B can approve the request at same time.

  • Remove password column in Change User Request [NWBC]

    Hi everyone,
    one simple UI-related question: in a change access request (template based) in NWBC, if we add one or more roles under User Access tab, the associated system/clients are listed in the User System Details tab (see the attached screenshot). There we can see two columns, namely Password and Confirm Password - which are both editable. We would like to either hide them or at least make them un-editable.
    We know that it is possible to get rid of them by creating a custom view - which implies a little programming and needs a developer key. Unfortunately, this is not possible for us at the moment.
    So my question is: can we, at least, make those two fields/columns un-editable for the requestor?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,
    EM

    Hello Erik ,
    What ever you are trying is very much possible , From se 80 you can opne the end user form in expert mode and make these field non editable or hidden ,
    I think few days or months back Jatin Grover from SAP posted a document on sdn which talks about customizing end user form .You can use the same for solving you issue .
    Hope this helps ..
    Kind Regards

  • Change content of the PO while using Approval Procedures

    When a PO is created as draft and waiting for approval we were able to find it back in the draft request list but not be able to do any change in the PO.
    Is there any possibility to allow changes in the draft PO before the approval was done?
    Also we need to know what happens if there is some change in the PO necessary after the approval was done and also if it goes back to the approval again in that case?
    Thank you
    Stephane

    Hi!
    You can reject the PO and the orginator can do the neccessary changes. Even after approving, the approver can reject the PO whn it is in Open Status.
    Else you should not use Approval Proccess, instead use the Approval Check book in Logistic Tab.
    1. Assign No Autho to all user except Purchase Head to the Approval Check Box
    2. Write a SP which should validate the PO and User, only can add or update a PO only whn Approval Check box is unchecked.
    3.By doing this, User can update the PO till it Closes, only thing is if Approver checked the Approved Check Box means, he should only uncheck that to make orginator to modify this.

  • Create/Edit "Custom Attributes" in Dynamic Distribution Groups

    Hi,
    I wanna create a Dynamic Distribution Group based on the users "title" and "company".
    I've noticed that there are 15 "Custom Attributes" that I can edit in someway, I guess via PowerShell?
    So what is the easiest way to accomplice this?

    Hi,
    Agree with the above suggestion, you can also bulk change the custom attributes:
    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Database Execs | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute1 “title”
    http://dougg.co.nz/2012/05/01/bulk-setting-exchange-2010-custom-attributes/
    to Edit Custom Attributes：
    get-mailbox -filter {customattribute1 -eq ""} | set-mailbox -customattribute1 = "<value>"
    And here is a reference about Create/Edit "Custom Attributes" in Dynamic Distribution Groups：
