Issue with generating a security role in program CRMD_UI_ROLE_PREPARE

Question

Hello -
  We have recently upgrade from CRM 2007 from CRM 4.0. We are working with the Business Roles and generating the security role from the business role using CRMD_UI_ROLE_PREPARE. We first create a simple test Business Role, a Z* copying from TPM_ROLE. Then we generated the security using CRMD_UI_ROLE_PREPARE. This was fine. Now was have copied a Business Role from TPM_ROLE that is one we want to use. We have created our own Z* Nav Bar and Role Config Key. This is working fine, but now when we try to generate using CRMD_UI_ROLE_PREPARE, the txt file is not generated, though there are no errors in the log. We can still generate the security role from our simple test. We have looked on line, and read the article in CRM Expert in June on Business Roles, but have not found the solution yet. Has anyone run into this?
thanks

Answer 1

This is how I used this program:
A. Generate required authorization objects
1.     T-Code: SA38
2.     Enter report CRMD_UI_ROLE_PREPARE and choose Execute.
3.     Select your Business Role.
4.     Choose language EN.
5.     Choose Execute.
Result: A file is created for each Business Role and saved on your computer in the SAP working directory. If you are working with Microsoft Windows XP, this file is saved in C:\Documents and Settings\<User ID>\SapWorkDir\.
B. Assign authorization objects
1.     T-Code: PFCG
2.     Enter your Role and choose Change.
3.     On the Menu tab choose Import from file and upload the file previously created.
4.     Choose Save.
Then adapt the authorizations if needed and choose Generate.
