Difference between Change Authorization Data / Display Authorization Data

Hello,
My question is wrt to implementation of "principle of treble control" i.e three SAP administrators i.e.
1. Authorization data administrator
2. Authorization profile administrator
3. User Administrator
I have created a role & added a transaction to it e.g. "FAGLL03" or "FF67".
No authorization data is displayed in the authorization tab unless I enter authorization tab with change button and provide inputs for org level field & generate profile. Even when I save the profile with the proposed name, it status still says "No authorization data exists". Since no authorization data is available, administrator 2 is unable to generate profile. If administrator 1 has to generate profile then why is administrator 2 required.
Definition of Administrator 1 is:
The authorization data administrator creates the roles, selects transactions and
maintains the authorization data. He or she simply saves the data in the Profile
Generator since he does not have the necessary authorization for generating the
profile. He or she accepts the proposed profile name “T-...”. The authorization data
administrator may not change users, nor generate profiles.
Definition of Administrator 2 is:
The authorization profile administrator starts transaction “SUPC” and chooses All
Roles. He or she then restricts his selection, for example by entering the ID of the
role to be edited. On the next screen, he or she chooses Display Profile to check
the data. If all the data is correct, he or she generates the authorization profile. The
authorization profile administrator may not change users, change the data for roles,
nor generate profiles containing authorization objects beginning with S_USER*.
Thanks.

Actually I started off my question with the "implementation of treble control" that SAP course AD940 suggests.
I had never heard of this treble control and the added value of splitting rolebuilding and profile generation doesn't make much sense to me but that's my personal opinion.
On the technical side of things: in your first post you state "No authorization data is displayed in the authorization tab unless I enter authorization tab with change button and provide inputs for org level field & generate profile."
It is also possible to change the data and save this but not generate the profile yet. I just tried this by doing the following:
Create role
Add transactions to menu
Edit profile, org levels & authroization data.
Hit 'save'.
Accept proposed profile name.
Go back to PFCG main screen and ignore message of profile not being generated. (Click 'continue')
And this leaves me with a role with yellow traffic light on the authorization tab an the profile status is: "Current version not generated"
So it should be possible to maintain roles and profiles separately.

  • Difference between "change auth data " and "expert mode" in pfcg

    Gurus ,
    i need to know , what is the difference between
    "change  authorization data "
    and
    "expert mode for profile generation" in PFCG .
    and what is the significance of the three options that we get when we choose expert mode ?

    Hi Susin,
    To change the authorization data for the transactions assigned to the role, choose Change Authorization Data or Expert Mode for Profile Generation.
    If you are generating the profile for the first time, there is no difference between the two modes.
    When you change a role, you must regenerate the authorization profile. In this case, the status of the profile generation is displayed red or yellow at the top of the Authorizations tab page.
    If the status display is red, you must perform an authorization data comparison, since the menu was changed since the last profile generation or no authorization data exists.
    If the display is yellow, the authorization data for the role was changed and saved after the last generation. The generated profile is no longer current. You need to regenerate it.
    The significance of the three options that we get when we choose expert mode is as follows:
    Choose one of the options to maintain the authorization values (in normal mode, the correct option is automatically set):
    1> Delete and recreate profile and authorizations
    All authorizations are recreated. Values which had previously been maintained, changed or entered manually are lost. Only the maintained values for organizational levels remain.
    2> Edit old status
    The last saved authorization data for the role is displayed. This is not useful, if transactions in the role menu have been changed.
    3> Read old status and compare with new data
    If you change transactions in the role menu, this option is the preconfigured. The profile generator compares the existing authorization data with the authorization default values for the menu transactions. If new authorizations are added during this process, they receive the status New. Authorizations that already existed receive the status Old.
    Note the following during the comparison:
    Values for organizational levels that are no longer required are deleted, all others are retained. If new organizational levels are added, you need to maintain them.
    The standard authorization for the object S_TCODE is always automatically filled with the current transactions from the role menu. It cannot be copied or manually changed, only deactivated.

  • Difference between earliest master data and master data change bonus

    Hi,
          Can anyone tell me what is the exact difference between earliest master data change and master data change bonus? Whenver any infotype is changed, why are the dates updated in both the fields? Is  it not enough if only Earliest master data change field is updated? I was thinking that Earliest master data change bonus field is updated when IT267 is created, but even if i change the time data both the fields are getting updated. Please advise?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Earliest master dat change date is date beyond which no master data change can be put in for employee in infotype.
    It is used to restrict any master data entry beyond certain date as restriction for employees that client has set and is moreover controlled at control record level but ocassionally used at employee level whenever payment was hold for long time and so on.
    Master data change bonus date is date which gets automatically filled in whenever there is any master data change.
    This date cannot be past earliest master data change date and will throw error if tried for employee to input.
    Thanks,

  • Difference between Invoice created date and billing date.

    Hi Gurus,
    I opened the Billing Document in display mode(T.Code:VF03).In header data I found two tabs one is Created On and another one is Billing Date. Here in the billing document the both dates were different.
    Please let me know the difference between Created On date and Billing Date.
    your afforts are highly appriciated.
    JYothi.

    Dear Jyothisd,
    Invoice created date : Invoice created date is nothing but the date on which you have created the invoice.
    Billingdate:Billing date is the date on which you suppose to do the billing for respective customer. Tease billing dates will be proposed to invoice from sales order if it is order related  or else actual goods issue date is proposed to billing document as a Billing date if particular billing document is delivery related.
    If you want you can change the Actual billing date the result is invoice created date.
    Please revert if you want any further clarifications
    Thanks&Regards

  • What is difference between tha master data and tranction data

    Hi, Gurus
    this is  sudhakar
    i want to no what is the difference between the transaction data and master data  give with examples .
    Thanks
    sudhakar

    Hi,
    The most important data classes are master data, transaction data, organizational data and system
    data.
    Master data is data that is rarely modified. An example of master data is the data of an address file, for
    example the name, address and telephone number.
    Transaction data is data that is frequently modified. An example is the material stock of a warehouse,
    which can change after each purchase order.
    Organizational data is data that is defined during customizing when the system is installed and that is
    rarely modified thereafter. The country keys are an example.
    System data is data that the R/3 System itself needs. The program sources are an example

  • Disk Utility: Differences between "Zero Out Data" and "7-Pass Erase"?

    I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a significant difference between the "Zero Out Data" erase option in Disk Utility (specifically Disk Utility 10.5.5), and the "7-Pass Erase" and "35-Pass Erase" options in same software.
    Here's why I'm asking: I have a co-worker with an iMac G5 20" 1.8GHz with 160GB internal hard drive. As a result of the power supply overheating a week ago due to dust, some hard drive problems resulted. I'm trying to assess whether these are 'soft' formatting problems that can be recovered from, or 'hard' problems requiring replacement of the hard drive and/or power supply.
    Following the failure, I removed the dust and restored the iMac to servicable form. The power supply seems to be OK now. The next thing was to attempt to recover as much data as possible from the 160GB, as the last full backup was a week old. Carbon Copy Cloner, shell copy via 'sudo cp -p -R -v', Finder copy, and DiskWarrior recovery all met with problems. TechTool Pro identified a huge swatch of unreadable sectors during repeated surface scans. Unfortunately, these unreadable sectors were located midway in the OSX boot partition (an 80GB partition), and not in the other 80GB partition devoted to lower priority video data.
    When I was satisfied I had backed up the data to the best of my abilities, I next set out to reformat the drive and see if the bad sectors could be eliminated or remapped out of existence. I did a "Zero Out Data" erasure in Disk Utility (with no errors during the erase), but TechTool Pro showed the bad sectors persisted in equal strength at the same location. I next executed a sixteen hour "7-Pass Erase" (again no errors, and confirming that it takes about an hour per 10GB). The next day when I ran TechTool pro, all of the sector errors had disappeared. I'm a bit perplexed as to why the "7-Pass Erase" seems to have recovered the use of the drive. Is it possible that there are simply thousands of bad sectors now remapped that I'm not seeing? [If so, how do I check for this?] TechTool Pro has not reported any S.M.A.R.T. issues to date on the drive. What am I to make of that?
    There are some related threads I've checked into, but I'm not sure how to properly assess my situation based on this information:
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=232007>
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=138559>
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=118455>
    Since the iMac has three weeks left on it's one year warranty, and I've already moved the user to another machine temporarily, I'm thinking that the smart thing to so is to send it in to Apple to have them look at the power supply and hard drive. That way, when it returns, even if there is still a lingering hardware problem, at least it will be covered under warranty for another 90 days.
    Any thoughts?
    iMac G5 20" 1.8GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.25GB RAM, 160GB hard disk, SuperDrive

    HI, Bret.
    The only differences between "Zero Out Data", "7-Pass Erase", and "35-Pass Erase" are the number of times a binary zero is written to every bit on the disk. "Zero Out Data" writes a binary zero once, whereas the 7- and 35-Pass options write a zero seven and 35 times, respectively.
    Technically, one pass with Zero Out Data should be sufficient to map bad sectors out of service, a process also known as sparing. If a bad sector is encountered, it is both marked as "in use" in the directory's allocation table and added to the directory's "bad blocks file."
    My understanding is that the Surface Scan of Tech Tool Pro should identify bad sectors every time it is run unless the bad sectors have been locked out by the drive controller of the ATA drive itself. This is because Surface Scan checks the entire surface of the disk.
    What may have happened is that running "Zero Out Data" spared the bad blocks from a directory standpoint, but did not result in the drive's controller locking out those sectors for reasons detailed in the "Surface Scan" section of the Tech Tool Pro manual. However, the 7-Pass Erase may have resulted in the drive's controller locking out the bad sectors and why Surface Scan did not pick them up after such.
    Given the problems you described, I concur with your plan to have Apple check the affected computer. You might also want to consider purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan for that Mac: I recommend and buy these for all my Macs.
    For some additional information on bad sectors, see the "Bad Sectors" section of my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ.
    Good luck!

  • Differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse da

    Hello Everyone,
    Can anybody help me understand the differences between operational systems data modeling and data warehouse data modeling>
    Thanks

    Hello A S!
    What you mean is the difference between modelling after normal form like in operational systems (OLTP) e. g. 3NF and modelling a InfoCube in a data warehouse (OLAP)?
    While in a OLTP you want to have data tables free of redundance and ready for transactions meaning writing and reading few records often, in an OLAP-system you need to read a lot of data for every query you do on a database. Often in an OLAP-system you aggregate these amounts of data.
    Therefore you use another principle for these database scheme. This is called star schema. This means that you have one central table (called fact table) which holds the key figures and have keys to another tables with characteristics. These other tables are called dimension tables. They hold combinations of the characteristics. Normally you design it that your dimensions are small, so the access  on the data is more efficent.
    the star scheme in SAP BI is a little more complex than explained here but it follows the same concept.

  • Difference between fully-specified data types. and generic types

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me the difference between fully-specified data types and generic types.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    P.S.

    HI
    Generic table types
    INDEX TABLE
    For creating a generic table type with index access.
    ANY TABLE
    For creating a fully-generic table type.
    Data types defined using generic types can currently only be used for field symbols and for interface parameters in procedures . The generic type INDEX TABLEincludes standard tables and sorted tables. These are the two table types for which index access is allowed. You cannot pass hashed tables to field symbols or interface parameters defined in this way. The generic type ANY TABLE can represent any table. You can pass tables of all three types to field symbols and interface parameters defined in this way. However, these field symbols and parameters will then only allow operations that are possible for all tables, that is, index operations are not allowed.
    Fully-Specified Table Types
    STANDARD TABLE or TABLE
    For creating standard tables.
    SORTED TABLE
    For creating sorted tables.
    HASHED TABLE
    For creating hashed tables.
    Fully-specified table types determine how the system will access the entries in the table in key operations. It uses a linear search for standard tables, a binary search for sorted tables, and a search using a hash algorithm for hashed tables.

  • Difference between using new Date() and new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()

    Hi All,
    I have seen many open source api's where they are updating dates with the following code

    what is the difference between using new Date() and new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()) ??
    Thanks,

    when i print the new Date() it prints the same
    It does because of backward compatability. This constructor exists in version 1.3.1 but not in newer versions.Really ? Please point me to where you read that.
    API doc 1.5 : new Date() (still there, not even deprecated)
    A quick look at the code for this constructor:    /**

  • What is the difference between olap and data warehouse..?

    Hi All,
    Is their any difference between olap and data warehouse..? Please let me know your knowledge about these. Thank you..
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please mark it as complete, if you get the solution with this reply. TQ.

    A data warehouse is a database containing data that usually represents the business history of an organization. This historical data is used for analysis. Data in a data warehouse is organized to support analysis rather than to process real-time transactions
    as in online transaction processing systems (OLTP).
    OLAP technology enables data warehouses to be used effectively for online analysis, providing rapid responses to iterative complex analytical queries. OLAP's multidimensional data model and data aggregation techniques organize and summarize large amounts
    of data so it can be evaluated quickly using online analysis and graphical tools.
