How to Automate the Generation of Active User List in SAP

Question

Hi experts,
Can you assist me with the following scenario?
Scenario:
From time to time, I am requested by client to produce the list of active users in SAP.
I retrieved this list from T-Code: SUIM.
User Information System > User > Users by Complex Selection Criteria > By Role.
Then I select all users by specifying the following value in Role field:
Z*
In the next screen, I clicked on Roles icon to produce the final layout. This list is exported as local file in Spreadsheet format.
Question:
Is there any way to automate this process? Can I schedule a job and whenever my client request the same info, I can just run that job and automate the whole process?
Appreciate if you could share your experience with us. Thank you very much!

Hello there,
Off course there is! You're using BW (or BI whatever!)
One option:
Go to table AGR_USERS and select there by roles starting with Z* your desired users. But you still have to download to excel.
Second option:
Create an abap program that reads the table AGR_USERS and prints the information to the screen and/or to a excel/txt file. You can also schedule this program every day or every night for example.
Third option:
Create an extractor of the table AGR_USERS and build a query. You can feed the extractor every day or twice a day. Since you have the query, your boss can run it himself and stop bugging you! (You could try build a remote InfoProvider so the data can always be updated at the time of the query execution)
