Changing role names

Hi,
I'm running BW 3.0B- i want to change some of my existing role names - I know it can be done by copying the role and giving the new copied role a new name but i don't want to do it this way.
Regards,
Moshe

You can change the role description but you can't change technical name of the role, technical name is the identifier of the role

  • Change role name after copying

    I copied a role (Business Explorer) and want to rename the role.
    Changing the name does not help, because only changes to other languages than the original language are taking effect.
    Changing the ID is possible, but there I am not allowed to change the name.
    How can I change the name of the role in the original language?

    I found the solution. I created the role in language "EN".
    I wanted to have the name change in language "DE". Therefore, I had to translate the role name.

  • Changing object name of role is not reflected

    When I change the Current Object Name for a specific role this change is not reflected. The role still retains it original name in the PCD or when I assign the role to a user.
    This only happens for a specific role in our system. For all other roles the change of the Object Name works fine.
    What am I overlooking?

    Hi ,
    Please check that when you change property 'name' of the role and then click on save button you shud get a  'save successful ' kinda message.
    If not then may be your role is locked by some other portal user id and thus not allowing you to change it. Please note that this will also not allow to change any property of the role, so you can test this by trying changing the other properties of the role.
    If this is not the case, then compare the properties of two roles one whichis working fine and the one which is not.

    How about in table E070, Selecting on Type ( if it is Customizing Request - W, if it is customizing task - Q), Status ( for modifiable requests - D ) and Owner as your Security Admins ( assuming they are the ones who created role changes transport requests) and then using E071 ( selecting transports or tasks from E070 ) and using Program id R3TR and object ACGR.

  • Cannot edit any roles in CUP5.2 due to "Enter a valid Role Name" error

    We are running CUP 5.2.
    I am having a problem with our Roles after they were uploaded into CUP; I cannot make any changes to the Role Details because CUP returns an error stating that our Role Names are invalid.
    First I uploaded the roles (I continued to receive errors when trying to use the template, so I did them by uploading with the "Selected Roles" option). 
    Once they were uploaded, from the menu, I select:    Roles --> Search Role    and then I choose a role from the resulting list.  When the next screen appears (the "Role Details" screen), I added all of the respective details (Business Process, Sub-Process, Detailed Description, Role Approver, Functional Area, etc.).   When I pressed the SAVE button, I received the following error:
    Please correct the following errors:
    Please enter a valid "Role Name". Only Alpha-numeric, Space or Underscore characters are allowed
    So I realize what the problem is - the "Role Name" field is automatically populated with our security role name as it exists in our SAP system ... and because our security roles all begin with Z:, it does not follow the CUP naming convention. 
    I'd like to just update the "Role Name" field but when you are in the "Role Details" screen, the "Role Name" field cannot be edited.
    I saw the "Export" button and used that, in an attempt to edit the file to replace each occurence of Z: with Z_, and then upload it again.
    So I updated the file accordingly, and then did an upload, selecting the "Overwrite Existing Roles" box.
    It returned a successful message:
    Import Status: 133 successfully imported out of 133 records found
    Yet, when I go back to the list of roles, the roles still exist as Z: instead of Z_ so I still cannot edit any of the roles to add the required details ...  has anyone had a similar issue and know how to work around this?
    Thanks!

    Hello Alpesh,
    Thank you for replying!
    I had already tried to export the roles and replaced the Z: with Z_ before creating this message, but the upload attempts failed due to the explanation above.  But this time, I followed your (good) advice to delete the original Z: roles first, before uploading the corrected file.
    Sadly, even after I deleted the original Z: roles prior to uploading the corrected file, I am still having no luck ... when I uploaded the file, again it (falsely) reports that the import was successful:
        Import Status: 133 successfully imported out of 133 records found
    After seeing that message, I quickly checked the roles, and none of the roles had uploaded.  So now I have ZERO roles.
    Any further ideas?  I am thinking it may be something very small that is being overlooked ... perhaps certain buttons must be selected/not selected on the import screen?  Or could it be an issue with the file itself?
    When I do the import, I only select the button for "From File ..." and retrieve the file from my desktop via the Browse button.  I do not select any other button, nor do I make a selection from the System or Role Source boxes.  I have just selected that one button only ... I've tried it with and without checking the "Overwrite Existing Roles" box, but neither one works.
    The part that bugs me the most is that I receive what I perceive to be an inaccurate/bogus "successful" status each time I attempt the upload of the file.  At least if I had an error message, I might have something to work with to troubleshoot this.

  • SBS 2011 - Need to change Machine name and IP address range

    We had upgraded to SBS 2011 and new hardware 6 months ago, we have recently been aquired by a larger company and want us to comply with their machine naming conventions and change the IP address range to fit in with their corporate structure.  They
    will be supplying us with a 2011/2012 Domain controller, this is to be added to our existing network as the primary DC supplying DNS, DHCP, WSUS
    We use our SBS box for DNS, DHCP, Exchange, File server, Print server
    How difficult is this going to be?  Is it actually possible, or do we need to wipe the SBS box and install from scratch?Any help on this matter would be appreciated

    As said, you can't change the name of the server or the domain, but you can change the IP addresses.
    The bad news is that you can't integrate SBS to a larger corporate network. SBS needs to be at the root domain of the forest and hold all FSMO roles, and it can't have any trusts.
    If the corporate wants to bring in a DC of their own AD domain and wants all clients to be joined to that domain, you just can't use SBS anymore, it won't fit in. You need to inform your corporate IT about the situation, and you need to make a new plan.
    You will need some kind of migration from SBS to standard products first before you can join to the corporate network structure.

  • How to change application name in system-jazn-data.xml

    I have weblogic server installed and applications deployed.
    However, I'd like to change the application name in system-jazn-data.xml, specifically, the "<name>context=APPLICATION,name=app1</name>" change "app1" to be "AllMyApp".
    Is this possible? ideally, I do not want to re-deploy the application. I'm not sure what files in application(I have both Web and EJB based applications) kept the name to point to above names in system-jazn-data.xml
    Thanks

    Hi thanks for your quick response.
    I mean to say we have deployed one application and that application appears as a web-DynPro application in PCD. Then i copied that application and pasted in the application folder as a page(PCD object). The page in the folder and application in webdynpro application both are having the same name.
    Now when i changed the name of the application in webDynPro (By re factoring) and deployed. The name in PCD in webdynPro application get changed but the PCD object in Folder becomes like a warning sign and shows that broken delta link.
    Now i want to know can i edit the link of the object so that it can point to the exect application or i have to copy the application and again paste as PCD object in the folder and then assign again to all 20 roles.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Search Users by Group(Role) Name

    In OIM 9g, I can search users by group name like below:
    searchFor.put("Groups.Group Name", "my group");
    tcResultSet users = userOp.findUsers(searchFor);
    But it does not work in 11g, change "Groups.Group Name" to ""Groups.Role Name", don't work neither.
    Does anyone know how to search users by Role name in 11g?

    Use RoleManager Class and the following API
    criteria = new SearchCriteria(RoleManagerConstants.ROLE_NAME, "*", SearchCriteria.Operator.EQUAL);
    roles = roleManager.search(criteria, attrNames, mapParams);http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e17334/oracle/iam/identity/rolemgmt/api/RoleManager.html#getRoleMembers_java_lang_String__boolean_

  • Role Name Server defined in SLD but no CimomURL maintained

    Hello gurus!
    We have a problem with our NWDI setup.
    What I want to do is to update an existing track DFODEV02 with the software package EP-RUNTIME.
    I synchronize with the SLD. However when I try to save, I get the following error:
    "SLD (URL http://<NWDI_server>:<port>)
    server exception: Invalid Name Server null - Check SLD configuration -> Role
    Name Server defined in SLD but no CimomURL maintained."
    I am not familiar with the customizing for this but I have looked into a couple of customizing steps related to Data Supplier:
    1) Under administration on SLD I see the following:
    Update Namespaces is marked as sld/active; but
    Update Other SLDs is an empty list.
    2) From the configuration on NWA:
    Target URL: <RuntimeSLD_server>/sld/ds
    Both 'Automatic send' and 'success' are both "true".
    Hope that you can guide us on the right “track” 
    In advance, thank you very much!
    Best regards,
    Elias

    Hi Elias,
    1) Under administration on SLD I see the following:
    Update Namespaces is marked as sld/active; but
    Update Other SLDs is an empty list.
    This is something else, your error message is not about this one.
    What you need to make sure is that you have a name server defined.
    You can check it in various ways:
    A). go to CMS -- Track Data -- select the track in question -- tab Build Variants -- Display/Download the Development Configuration --> This will be an XML file. If you see a tag "sld-nameserver" then you are ok, however I assume this tag is missing or points to a wrong SLD in your case.
    B)
    Go to the initial page of the SLD.
      2.  Choose Landscapes.
      3.  Choose New Landscape…
      4.  In the page that appears, select the landscape type NWDI System.
      5.  Specify NWDI as the name of the landscape. Choose Create.
    The new landscape is displayed.
      6.  Select the new landscape.
    You see the details about the landscape.
      7.  Choose Systems and then choose Add System to Landscape.
      8.  Choose the hosted system type System Landscape Directory. Choose OK.
    You see the installed SLD.
      9.  Select the SLD.
    The details view appears.
      10.  Select the roles Landscape Server and Name Server and save your changes.
    The name server is now known to the NWDI and can be used there. Only now can you create valid development configurations.
    Could you please confirm this way whether you have a name server specified and that points to the correct SLD ?
    I hope this guides you to the right "track"

  • Urgent - Need to know that the changed roles are saved in which request ?

    Hi *,
    I was required to include a query in a specified role. I went to T-code PFCG, gave the role name and went into the changed mode. Then in the authorization data, I assigned the query. After that I saved and clicked on Generate button.
    Now, I want to know these changes are captured in which request ?
    Please guide me the possible ways so that I can assign points for the useful answers.
    Regards,
    Srinivas

    Dear Srinivas D Rao  ,
    Once the changes are done ,it will be captured in IDOC and you go to bd87 transaction and give message type and press execute...
    Check in su53 Authorization check transaction
    Also
    To see Authorization a User has through
    transaction suim.
    --> users by complex selection criteria
    >by authorization values
    > Enter authorization object "F_BKPF_BUK "
    >press enter and enter company code
    execute ... you will find the users
    You need to find roles assigned to the user first then go to table agr_1252 anf give the value $BUKRS along with the role names.
    Also check tables UST12 and AGR_1251.
    Hope it helps

  • Role name problems!

    Hi,
    I have copied the collaboration role and changed the name from "Collaboration" to "MyName". Everything works great when I stick to english language but when I change the language to, for instance, swedish, then the original "Collaboration" name is displayed. How can I make it work for all languages?
    Another funning thing is that when I work in the pcd the content tree to the right is displaying "Collaboration" while the editor of the role is showing "MyName". Refreshing the window does not help.
    I'm running NW04 SP9 PL3 on Solaris.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Elvez,
    the reason in general is that for PCD objects, there are display names for different languages possible. If you copy such an object, it seems that only the default name (for languages not maintained specifically) or the name for a concrete language gets replaced.
    In the end, also the second question will have the same reason.
    You can have a look at all language translations using the Portal Content Translation, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/74/641640b7b6dd5fe10000000a155106/frameset.htm for details.

  • Printing different  role name other than role property name

    Hi,
    we have one program it  gives all the roles,workset,iviews according to the PCD  names and locations.
    Now for few roles  localization  property is there ,so due to this the name user see on the tab and the name we mentioned in the  role property is differnt.
    our program printing the role name what we given in the role property.
    but i need the name what user seeing.
    now i don't want to change  my role property . but i need to  print the role name what user will see.
    let me know how  i can achieve  this.
    Thanks

    Is it a customer app? If so, the program needs to use the appropriate method that reads the language specific role name. Ask your programmer to use the correct method...

  • Custom Role Names

    Good Morning All,
    We have created our role names to reflect:
    - Custom VS SAP template
    - Type of role (Composite, Master..)
    -System (ECC, BI < PI...)
    -Module (FI, CO...)
    I wanted to know what is most seen across industry, how companies name their security roles. Our company is going global so wanted to make standards which make sense to users and IT.
    Your suggestions are much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I think the role naming is a choice you make based on the client operations and the way they are structured, there is no internationally accepted standard as such. It is like taking an opinion on what colour car should i buy - well it depends,isnt it.
    Anyway, coming to the discussion:
    We have European operations controlled from the official headquarters and users are spread across 21 countries. My role naming has been based on the domians we work. for a start let me inform that we do not allow local role assignments. local administrators are empowered to maintain users locally (create/change/delete) but not assign/delete/restrcit role authorizations - it is managed centrally after due approvals are taken care of.
    My master roles are defined as ZSMSLSX001, ZSMSLSX002 .......for sales, ZSMRDCX001, ZSMRDCX002.....for the local regional distribution centres owned by the local countries (these are the various plants in the loca countries), we have European distribution centres owned by the headquarters and the naming convention is ZSMELCX001........ZFMSXXX001, for Finance sales operations and ZFMMXXX001....for Finance manufacturing opearations
    these master roles are derived to the local countries using the SALES ORGANIZATION for the sales roles (ex: ZSMSLSX001 is derived to ZSISDL1001, for Germany - ZSISFR2001 for France and so on, ZSMRDCX001 is derived as ZSIRDK1001 for the Danish plant, ZSICFR2001 is derived from ZFMMXXX001 for Finance manufacturing of France).........I dont know if it is an accepted appraoch in the forum, but it makes life easy at our end and i like it
    bottom line: there is no right or wrong in the naming convention, trying to keep them as simple as you can and reflecting the operations and the domain they are created for, would make sense
    With the approach you suggested of having the country "US" specifed in the role - can make life difficult if you want to create a role for India and Indonesia (or) Begium and Belarus , following ISO codes could be an option but then you would have to consider the Spanish feelings about using "HP" in the naming (atleast the set of users at our end hate having HP mentioned in the user Id (or) in the role name.........(i am told that it has a not so nice meaning when HP is expanded to its gloriest best).......many things to consider, isnt it?
    I wish you luck for your search on the "IDEAL" naming convention
