J2EE roles vs Portal roles vs ABAP roles

(I also posted this on portal implementation, but i hope i receive more reactions here )
Dear all,
I have a question about the information on the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/4c/6c0f40763f1e07e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
It says the following:
"These functions are intended to assign users and their assigned portal roles a corresponding role in the SAP System. This corresponding role (authorization role) contains the authorizations needed to execute certain functions from the portal."
1. These "...certain functions..." they talk about, can someome give an example of these functions?
2. Is it possible for example to create a role in the portal that gives a user authorisation for starting transaction SE80 in the backend system? Without making the role in the backend first and uploading it to the portal.
3. It's also possible to upload ABAP roles to the portal. Is the main reason for this that users can see their SAP menu (or part of it) in the portal? Or does this have other advantages too?
4. I'm very confused about the relation between J2EE roles, portal roles and ABAP roles. Is it possible to manage the roles for a user in one place, without having to do certain actions in the portal AND the backend system?
From what I've read on help.sap.com, you always need to do certain actions in both places.
A possible approach is the following (from what i know): Creation of roles in the R/3 system, without assigning to users. From a webdynpro application, a user can then be created and roles can be assigned: portal roles (via some API) and R/3 roles (via BAPIs).
I hope someone can give a bit information on this issue. I've done alot of reading on help.sap.com, but it's still an abstract issue for me.
Kind regards,
Joren

Hi Jorem
Re: point 3. I don't build portal roles through this mechanism as I don't believe in replicating the SAP easy access menu inside the portal. If there are some specific functions (transactions) that I want to run inside the portal, then I might use this mechanism to build the iViews once. I would rather start an iView that runs transaction SMEN and let the user see their regular easy access menu.
Please note that the speed of executing transactions in the portal isn't a function of the portal, but the fact that you are using ITS, for example, to web enable the transaction...
Re: point 4. Groups are a UME concept. They have nothign to do with ABAP groups. They can be created directly in UME through user administration functions, or they can be created in the LDAP and then they are visible in the portal. If the UME points to an ABAP system, then the ABAP roles are autoamtcially visible as UME groups. Groups created in the UME need to have the members assigned through user admin functions of the Java engine. Groups stored in LDAP are maintained using LDAP admin tools. There are upload utilities that allow you to maintain LDAP users and groups through text files. Google LDIF for more details.
Roles on the portal need to be built in the portal contetn directory. As Michael mentioned, this can be automated by the use of the role upload function built into the portal.

Role of abaper's in ALE/IDoc's

Hell all
I am new for ALE/Idoc's . can anybody tell what is the role of abaper's in ALE/Idoc's.

Hi,
Message types (required for sending the data across participating systems)relate to the structure of the data called an IDOC (Intermediate Document).Message types provide the format of the data, which can be exchanged betweenSAP and non-SAP systems. ALE supports over 200 message types in R/3.

What is tthe role of ABAP Engine in EP server

Hi to All,
do any one of u let me know the role of ABAP engine in EP server! How can i make use of ABAP Engine. I know to work with J2EE Engine, but generally what we will do in ABAP Engine.
It looks to u all as a silly question, but i am not clear of this function, so i need a detail explanation of this.

Sireesha.

Hi,
before there was a WAS 6.20 (Web Application Server) SAP's R/3 Applications were build up on the so called R/3 Basis System. One part of the R/3 Basis was the APAP/4 Runtime. This was true until R/3 version 4.5.
In parallel SAP started to develop a J2EE Application Server. They founded/buyed a company in Bulgaria called InQMy. You might know that the portal version EP5.0 was based on the InQMy J2EE engine.
Since R/3 4.7 the old R/3 Basis is called "Web Application Server" (WAS 6.20). Additional to the ABAP/4 Runtime this WAS contains the former ITS (Internet Transaction Server" and the BSP's (Business Server Pages). The old ABAP/4 Runtime is now called "ABAP Stack".
The old InQMy J2EE Server is now called "J2EE Engine" or "JAVA Stack".
With Release 6.40 of the WAS it contains both the ABAP Stack and the JAVA Stack.
Now to Your Question. A standarad EP installation just contains the JAVA stack of the WAS. The ABAP stack normally is not installed, because it is not used by the EP. You could install the ABAP stack in addition. But for what purposes ? Well if You would like to develop a webapplication based on BSP.
If You are allread running an R/3 System it contains an ABAP Stack but normally no JAVA stack.
The Java Stack of the EP Server can call the ABAP Stack of an R/3 System via RFC (remote function call).
More confused now ?

RE: use of SAP_J2EE_ADMIN Role in ABAP while having no permission in UME

Hi,
i know that if we are using ABAP+JAVA stacks we need to have SAP_J2EE_ADMIN to do administration on J2EE side. i have a question on this.
1. Do we map SAP_J2EE_ADMIN role to a portal role or assigning a user in ABAP with role SAP_J2EE_ADMIN will automatically gives him the ability to create a user in UME or any admin functions in J2EE
2. what happens if user has SAP_J2EE_ADMIN role in ABAP system with out having access to Netweaver J2EE Engine, can he create users in JAVA side without actually logging in there.
i am little confused about this role.
Thanks,
SS

>>Do we map SAP_J2EE_ADMIN role to a portal role or assigning a user in ABAP with role SAP_J2EE_ADMIN will automatically gives him the ability to create a user in UME or any admin functions in J2EE
No mapping required. Automatically it will give administration rights
>> what happens if user has SAP_J2EE_ADMIN role in ABAP system with out having access to Netweaver J2EE Engine, can he create users in JAVA side without actually logging in there.
if user has SAP_j2ee_admin in abap side, he can loging to Java URL. He can do all administration tasks, like user creation, role assignment etc in UME.
I hope it clears your doubt.

Role of ABAP in MDM

Hello MDM Guru's,
Could you please help me to understand the role of ABAP in MDM. i underestand ABAP API's role (interfaces) can be used, However i want know what kind of requirements do we get to use ABAP based coding & what kind of customization could be done, could i use Business Workflow from ABAP in MDM.
Any documents or links please.
Thanks in advace
Cheers
Srihari

Hi Srihari,
The role of MDM with ABAP is basically the utilization of the MDM functionalities and features from an ABAP server.
It is a way to connect to the MDM system from another system which does not understand MDM language.
As MDM is a C++ based system and ABAP is an ABAP language based ERP system.If you want to talk to the MDM system from an ABAP system you need to inteface them through the ABAP API's.
Doing this you can then Search,create ,update Run matching strategies etc from teh ABAP system just by using the Preconfigured classes and methods.Whereever a n enhancemendt is needed which is more than the standard delivered functionlaity of MDM you can utilize the coding ability of ABAP to achieve it.
Few Real time requirement that I came across of using ABAP interfcae to MDM are
- Creating ABAP design ALV reports that is a result of MDM Master data stored within the MDM repositories.
- The logs that are available with MDM are the standard delivered ones which are not easily understandable.We can use ABAP is an effective way to develope a user friendly report explaining the MDM logs
- Something similar to the above can bo done with the change tracking feature of MDM.
- Also ABAP api can be used with effective coding and customization to make available the Master data from MDM as an F4 help in abap.
Regarding using ABAP business workflow in MDM or viceversa,I guess is not a feasible thing to do.
You can however use the Consistent MDM outputted data in ECC and run a separate governance on it through an ECC workflow using ABAP.
To know more on what standard features as well as customized features that can be delivered through the MDM-ABAP interface .Kindly refer the MDM ABAP API series how to guides
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

What is the role of ABAP technical analyst?

Dear Friends,
I would like to know the roles and responsibilities of a ABAP technical analyst for MM ,SD,FI/Co modules.?
Please tell me in detail what are the other roles or positions are there in an implementation or support project.
Very curious to know about the implementation cycle in SAP projects.
like I have heard of aggies,GAP analysis ,Blue print study....But dont have clear picture.
So relying on Sdn experts completely....
Thanks,
Reshali.

I disagree. I think the coffee corner is the best place for this kind of general question. So I've moved it here. Sure, you'll get some sarcastic or teasing answers, but you'll also get some helpful answers.
However, a general question can only be answered generally. And I'm not sure how helpful that is. The role of ABAP technical analyst varies from site to site.
For example, at one site, I had to:
Take functional spec and write technical spec and unit test scripts. If there were questions not addressed in the functional spec, I put it back to the functional analyst. Once I'd completed the technical spec and unit test scripts, they were reviewed. Once reviewed and found acceptable, I could code. I would then run the test scripts, and record the results. Again my work would be reviewed - the tech spec, the unit test scripts, the results, and the ABAP code. Once accepted, the development would go into testing. At any point in the cycle we could go back to an earlier point, get a review, carry on, make changes, get a review...
So, my responsiblities there were:
1. Write technical specs from functional spec.
2. Write unit test scripts
3. Develop programs
4. Unit test the programs according to the scripts and record results
5. Review other programmers technical specs and ensure they match the functional spec.
6. Review other programmers test scripts and ensure that they are thorough enough
7. Review other programmers testing and ensure it has been done properly
8. Review other programmers code, ensure it matches the technical spec and conforms to standards of quality.
( This might sound like overkill, but this site was the ONLY site I've ever worked where the vast majority of programs worked correctly in production - the rigourous checks upfront saved that company a fortune in maintenance. ).
At another site:
Given a functional spec, write a program and a technical spec.
btw - when you asked the question in the XI forum, Ramakrishna's answer was copy and paste from SAP Help.

Re: Roles of ABAPER in implementation project

HI experts,
What s the Roles of ABAPER in implementation project?and responsibilities in support project?

IMPLEMENTATION :This is project in which we implement sap for a company from scratch right from creating tables and data for the first time..writing code for the first time etc.
SUPPORT : this is the kind of project where SAP has been already implemented but due to some additional business requirement or any thing like small problems in general they hire a team who work for them to solve the small issues.its also called issue based project.
It depends on the Volume of the company and how many company codes and Plants it have and for how many it has to be implemented
There are different types of Projects in SAP:
1. Implementation
Customer wants to install SAP/Include different modules of SAP viz. MM/SD/FI/CO/PP etc for the first time.Previously he might be using some legacy system in his orgn. This is implementation project. Here one needs to integrate several modules, migrate data from Legacy system to SAP system. Need to prepare interfaces/RFC's to interact with 3rd party systems.
Most of the company's follow ASAP methodology for the Implementation projects
there are 5 stages in the ASAP methodology
they are
1. Project Initial Preparation
2.Business Blueprint
3.Realization
4/ Final Preparation
5.Golive And Support
ABAP work mostly starts in the Blue print ending stage or in the realization stage
2. Support
Customer has already installed SAP & wants to give the work of maintaining those systems. This is support project
There is no phases in it. Just receive the tickets, solve and send back to client.
3. Upgrade
Customer has SAP Version 4.6b and wants to update his version i.e. wants to go to Version 4.7. This is upgrade project
4. Rollouts
Customer has upgraded his version & wants to rollout country specific changes.
This is rollout project
Say a company is having branches in 3 to 4 countries.
In One country they have already implemented SAP
IF they wants to implement the same SAP in other countries of their branches they will simply follow the same SAP implementation policy (Rollout) how they have done for the first country just by changing the country specific settings and configurations.

Dhurga Ramakrishnan

Hi Ramakrishnan,
ABAPers role could be anything like fixing the bugs in existing interfaces/transactions, creating new programs,modifying existing programs or SAPScripts or Interfaces.....etc,debugging,break fixes,involve in work shops/meetings along with Functional Consultant to understand/gather the requirements etc.
Besides good ABAP technical and programming skills,It would be an added advantage if you know the following in FI/CO:
1. Concepts in FI/CO module regarding Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Asset Management, Tax, General Ledger/Accounts,Cost/Profit Centers,Cost Elements etc.
2. Few important transactions and flow of data
3. Important tables like BSEG,BSAD,BSID,BSAK,BSIK,LFA1,LFB1,LFM1,PAYR etc and the relation between the tables and important fields.
4. Important Bank interface programs which exchange data between Banks and the Company
5. Integration with other modules like SD, MM etc.
Hope this helps.

J2EE_ADMIN has no Port Role in ABAP+JAVA stacks system

I installed 2004s BI IDES SR2 with ABAP+JAVA on Win 2003 + Oracle, default client 800.
I find the J2EE runs fine, I can log into SDM, configtools. And I can launch
http://host:50000/index and http://host:50000/irj/portal, which mean the portal is up.
But with http:host:50000/index.html, I can't goto http://host:50000/useradmin, nor http://host:50000/nwa
The error message is:
Application cannot be started.
Details: com.sap.engine.services.deploy.container.ExceptionInfo: Naming error.
with http://host:50000/irj/portal, both j2ee_admin and sap* can log in, but without any portal role. Thus
only logoff link available, and I can't do anything else.
I read through all the related post and can't figure out a way to assign the portal role to j2ee_admin or create additional portal user, anyone can help my situation.
I also can not log into Visual Admin with j2ee_admin, connect error:
Error while connecting
com.sap.engine.services.jmx.exception.JmxSecurityException: Caller J2EE_ADMIN not authorized, only role administrators is allowed to access JMX
(which I checked sap_j2ee_admin role is green on su01 role tab with correct valid period.)
what should I do?
Thanks

Thanks for prompt reply, Debasis.
Could you please elaborate the steps I need to take? Thanks.
eg. how do I "Assign a user a role that has the permission for the UME action JMX.JmxManageAll"
I don't have any portal tools working properly yet, I don't have useradmin, and I don't have nwa. I don't even have visual admin. Everything I do in ABAP, pfcg, su01, seems have no effect to those portal functionalities.
The fact that I enable emergency sap* from configtool also doesn't make useradmin / nwa work...
Any idea? Thank you.

How to find SAP java realted roles for ABAP and Basis

Hi Gurus,
I am new in SAP Security First week, I got the assignment to find the SAP Roles and Trans for ABAP and Basis in all Systems like Ecc, BI, ......
I use SE16 ->AGR_TCODES then SAP* in Table Name it give me all SAP Roles and Trans.
Pls help me to get only SAP Java and Basis roles and Trans Seperately
Thanks

Hi,
Are you speaking about the standrad SAP roles? If yes, you can have a look at BC and ABAP roles. However, if your question is about the created roles, you should see the convention that was followed in your organization to identify the roles.

Change properties of Roles in Abap web dynpro

Hello Gurus,
I need to hid or unhide a role based on a condition in my abap web dynpro.
Can anyone please update me how I can access it from abap web dynpro.
Is there an API call from abap to set or reset the invisible in navigation area value in portal?
Regards,
Dale

End of days play, this is what I was able to achieve.
Realised the masthead jsp is the best place to call my abap web dynpro as it is just after the login and at the load of default framework page.
I was able to call my abap web dynpro and on success, I am calling the homepage role.
What I have done in the jsp is written an if else statement:
1) If it is the first call to the jsp call my abap web dynpro in navigation mode 3. This ensures the roles are not visible and the redirection works before the page loads.
2) Else load the framework page as usual.
The only issue I have at this point is, I cannot depend on the first visit of the user.
I need to know in the jsp where the call to jsp is coming from, if it is coming from login page, i will direct the user to WDA else if the call is from my WDA, the normal load should work.
It would be ideal if my abap web dynpro could write something in the http header which the jsp could read as success. Still close but dont have the solution working yet

Dale
