Functional or Technical Role??

What is the difference between technical and
functional BW Consultant???

If you work on a specific Application area in BW like say FI, MM, PP , etc. you are a BW functional. BW functional would not do any development but they are rather in charge of overseeing whether the specific application functionality is implemented or not. They rather look for the functionality and not for the underlying code.
But if you are working across application areas then you are BW technical. They are the ones who do all the development like creating BW objects and activating them.
The line between functional and Technical in BW depends on your role . At a high level differentiation would be like this:
1. Functional:
a. Requirements Gathering
b. Understanding Business Processes and Logic
c. Data Modeling
2.Technofunctional :
a. Desiginig the Architecture
3. Technical
a. Design
b. Extraction
c. Report Creation
d. Integration
e. Performance Tuning.

Fix Business Role / Technical Role assignment in Pending or Failed status

Hi,
We are facing issues with few users where Business role assignment or technical role assignment is going into Pending or failed status.
None of the jobs are failing or throwing any error related with the changes.
We are running IdM 7.2 version with SP8.
Is there a way to fix this issue other than removing and reassigning or recreating ID.
Regards,
Manish

Hi Manish,
If technical role (priv) in failed status, please check Tero's reply in the below post. You can set a periodic job to read users and privs in failed status and use uRetryPrivilegeAdd() function to retry the assignment.
Failed AD privileges
I was able to find a document on how to set up the periodic job.
Retry failed assignments (Privilege)
You should try searching the forum and wiki for answers. Most of the issues are addressed by our community experts already. Thanks.
Kind regards,

Business Roles & Technical Roles

Colleagues,
With the whole process of creating Business Roles for the implementation of IdM we gotten to thinking and started looking for a best practice when it comes to creating and managing business roles aswell as technical (SAP, ABAP) roles.
Anyone have any good documentation in this regard?
Thx in advance,
Jonathan

Hey Sandeep,
It's a good document but not exactly what I was looking for.
Concerning the Business Roles I was looking for more of a functional (business) view point on the whole business role thing. Something I could use from a technical standpoint to help my customer in the business role creation process.
Concerning the Technical Roles (ABAP authorisations). We have the situation here at the moment that we're dealing with 14 years or role creation in the SAP systems with no guidelines what so ever. So to put it gently: it's a mess. And I was wondering if there was any best practice document out there describing the "best practice" of creating technical roles, handling authorisations in SAP etc.
I realise that the second question doesn't quite fit in this forum but I'm guessing here would be the closest match for the question.
Thx.

SAP Technical roles and IDM Business roles mapping

Hi Guys
Just wondering if there is an easy way to export SAP Positions and create them automatically as Business Roles in IDM and the SAP technical roles that are related to that corresponding position into privledges assigned to that Business Role. Or am I going about this the wrong way? What do you normally do in terms of getting all your sap technical roles from the sap system and assigning them to business roles in IDM. Any help on this is much appreciated?
Cheers
Leo

Thanks Matt,
I think get I the picture now
One thing that I am still not sure about is how the sap abap technical roles or profiles are provisioned through workflow
Here is what Ive done so far
1. HCM data loaded into productive identity store via vds
2. Did an initial load of the abap system into the productive identity store (now the technical roles and profiles are loaded as privileges in the idstore)
3. Through workflow I select a user that already has an abap account and assign that user some additional sap technical roles, for e.g. sap_all and sap_new. The corresponding privileges for these roles are namely PRIV:PROFILE:ECX:SAP_ALL and PRIV:PROFILE:ECX:SAP_NEW .
4. For the provisioning to occur so that these new privileges are reflected in the ABAP system for this user, I have used the setABAPRole&ProfileForUser task from sap provisioning framework folder and set it as the add/mod/del event task for the MXREF_MX_PRIVILEGE attribute. That way whenever a privilege is added to a user account the setABAPRole&ProfileForUser task will run and the sap_all and sap_new profiles will be added in the backend. This way I can avoid setting a provisioning task for each abap privilege that gets loaded.
But it should be obvious now that there is a flaw with this kind of setup, because all non abap privileges that get added or removed will trigger the setABAPRole&ProfileForUser task anyway because the privileges use the same attribute i.e.MXREF_MX_PRIVILEGE. So it brings me to the question how do you provision abap technical roles or profiles through workflow without setting a provisioning task for each abap related privilege.
Thanks again for all your help!

Functional and technical design for reports

Hello BW gurus,
I am responsible for creating/developing few reports in Prod Planning and Inventory Mgmt.
Is there a template for the Functional Design and Technical Design for the reports?
How do I go about making the functional and technical design?
Thanks

jackofalltrades,
If you could give us the stage of the report -
1. whether you are reporting from existing cubes and this report would be an additional one on a existing cube or
2. The report has to be designed from the ground up ...
Depending on the same - the entire lifecycle will be different and also whether the query is to be shown on the web or through excel will be helpful.
You could have a look at ASAP Templates in the meanwhile.

Common technical roles in different business roles in BRM & ARM

Hi Gurus ,
Some help please .
We have the following situation with BRM & ARM role provisioning .
In BRM we have for example two business roles setup (B1 & B2). We have in these two business roles a common technical role .
E.g. B1 (has role T1 ,T2 ) , while B2 (has roles T1 & T3) .
in our example an user already has role B1 (with T1 & T2) assigned. The user then needs access to role B2 as well .
Since role T1 is common in both business roles , When an user does an request , ARM then send them a notification saying that an duplicate role exist within the request. (which they have to remove before continuing) . This is confusing the some users .
My question is as follows. Is there a way to for the user to process the request without having the warning displayed & without having the duplicate technical role assigned ?
So essentially , they will get access to business role B1 & B2 (but technical role T1 will not be assigned twice) ?
Your help is greatly appreciated .
Regards,
AJ

Hi AJ,
Could you share the notification message that ARM generates.And what about role T1 assignment.
Is it assigned two time in user profle?
Thanks,
Mamoon

Error in adding Function to the role

Hi Experts,
We are on AC-ERM 5.3_10_0. I was trying to create a test role in ERM. When adding a function to the role it's throwing the following error. Unknown error occurred while performing operation (Cannot assign a java.lang.String object of length 57 to host variable 2 which has JDBC type VARCHAR(50). in method insertOrgLvlsForRole).
Not able to find out, what's going wrong. Can anyone please guide me in resolving the error.
Thanks,
Gurugobinda

Hi Zaheer,
Thanks a lot. You are right. I am not facing this error in other functions. Only in for functions like PR91, PR01, HR02 I am getting this error. In fact, when I am adding the function it is showing the error, but when i am coming back to function TAB, I am finding the function has been added successfully. Can you please tell me how to rectify this error.
Regards,
Gurugobinda

What's the function of "Team Role" in Team configuration

Hi All,
What's the function of "Team Role" in Team configuration.
For example, go to Account Detail page, click "Add Users" button in Account Team section, there's a dropdown list named "Team Role".
In help document, it says:
To explain the role the linked record plays in relation to the main record, select an option from the Team Role drop-down list.
But I don’t understand, can anyone explain this for me?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Bruce,
Team Roles are the access you define to a user you associate to a record. Lets say there are 3 user's A,B and C. If you want to associate All threeto an Account but each should have different access to that account. like A can have Edit, B Edit and delete and C only read only access. so for each user your associating you can control the access exclusively

Hi,
See the Views VIAUFKS and VIAUF_AFVC ,
you will get all the fields related to PM module
See the fields and the data elemetns and create the tables and use them in the Table controls and design your screens and the code.
see the info on Table controls:
syntax:
CONTROLS .
if you only want to determine the row of the table control. SY´-SUBRC allows you to check if the cursor is placed in a row of a table control.
u need to comment the performs of table control fields and write ur own perform statements. And u have to declare the table control fields as separate internal tables.
Go through this urls.

RE: BI functional and Technical Specification

Hi,
Can anybody share BI Functional and Technical Specification for SAP R/3 data extraction for modules FI/CO, SD, MM, WM/MM.
Thanks.

Hi Hitesh
Bi Functional Specification is like this where you get the details of what is the report they are looking for and what does that do in detail explanation from the key user of that particular area.
and also you will receive an document saying that the particular tables and fields ...
After receiving that then you will be starting an work by preparing an Design document of what are the objects you are going to use in the system and what type of Data Source your are using and Targets etc.. This is nothing but an Technical Specification... and this also contains what type of the load is it...
Hope this helps you..
Thanks
