Role of Developer

Hi experts,
What is the typical role of a Developer/Duties where BIA is used.

This really depends on the individual customer. Depending on how big or small IT departments are the role could be narrow or very broad. From my experience, the role of the BW developer would be
- to set up or modify the corresponding process chain for each load which is to go to BWA
- to ensure data loads make their way into the accelerator on a daily basis
- build/delete the BWA indexes which correspond with the info provider
- monitor the alerts which are posted in transaction code RSDDBIAMON2 and communicate the status to various other IT teams (BASIS, LINUX, Network) on a need to know basis
- monitor growth of data in BWA to stay ahead of the curve to ensure capacity (memory/cpu) requirements
- follow up on business user questions regarding performance or error codes received from queries utilizing BWA
- turning BWA indexes on/off
- Identifying query/info provider candidates for BWA - looking at statistics of the query to determine if it is a good candidate for BWA or not
Again, depending on the organization, some other tasks which could be included in the BW developer's role are
- Initiate landscape reorgs
- Initiate service restarts for the blades or entire landscape
- making parameter changes to the .ini files as requested in SAP Notes
Typically, the tasks immediately mentioned above are not allowed by developers and are delegated to the basis team, but it depends on the individual organization.
Hopefully, this has given you a starting point. If you need further clarification let me know.

Josh

Role of Developer in Implementation

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what does the role of a developer in Implementation project.
Thanks

Hi Pratibha,
Please find the below things what a developer needs to do:
Phase 1: Upgrade Project Preparation -
The purpose of this phase is to provide initial planning and preparation for your R/3 upgrade project. Although each upgrade project has unique objectives, scope and priorities, the steps in Phase 1 help identify and plan the primary topics that must be considered.
Phase 2: Business Blueprint -
The purpose of this phase is to establish a common understanding in your company about how the new R/3 release will handle your current business processes after the R/3 upgrade.
Phase 3: Realization of DEV and QAS -
The purpose of this phase is to perform the upgrade of all non-production R/3 Systems, which normally include development (DEV) and quality assurance (QAS) systems, and to ensure the quality of this upgrade process by comprehensive testing. You need to upgrade your DEV and QAS systems before performing the upgrade for your production system (PRD). Furthermore, you will develop your end user documentation and training in this phase.
Phase 4: Realization of Production -
The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation for the upgrade of the production R/3 System, and end user training, if necessary. On the successful completion of this phase, you are ready to run your business in your upgraded production R/3 System.
Phase 5: Go Live and Support -
The purpose of this phase is the transition from your previous R/3 System to a newly upgraded and improved R/3 System. Be aware that you must set up an ongoing support organization to service your R/3 users, both during the first few days of your upgraded production operations, and on an ongoing basis.

Responsibilities of an implementation project...
For ex, Lets say If its a fresh implementation of BI or for that matter you are implementing SAP...
First and foremost will be your requirements gathering from the client. Depending upon the requirements you will creat a business blueprint of the project which is the entire process from the start to the end of an implementation...
After the blue print phase sign off we start off with the realization phase where the actual development happens... In our example after installing the necessary softwares, patches for BI we need to discuss with the end users who are going to use the system for inputs like how they want a report to look like and what are the Key Performance Indicators(KPI) for the reports etc., basically its a question and answer session with the business users... After collecting those informations the development happens in the development servers...
After the development comes to an end the same objects are tested in quality servers for any bugs, errors etc., When all the tests are done we move all the objects to the production environment and test it again whether everything works fine...
The Go-Live of the project happens where the actually postings happen from the users and reports are generated based on those inputs which will be available as an analytical report for the management to take decisions...
The responsibilites vary depending on the requirement... Initially the business analyst will interact with the end users/managers etc., then on the requirements the software consultants do the development, testers do the testing and finally the go-live happens...

Portal Navigational Role assignment/development

Hi
How can I achieve this portal requirement.
I have a Portal Navigational Role with work sets (4) assigned to it (Workset1, Workset2, Workset3 & Workset4)
I have different kinds of users
User1:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, Only Workset1 should be visible
User2:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, Only Workset2 should be visible
User3:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, Only Workset3 should be visible
User4:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, Only Workset4 should be visible
User5:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, Only Work set 1 & 2 should be visible
User6:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, Only Workset3 & 4 should be visible
User7:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, all work sets should be visible
How can I achieve this

You can use the concept of merging to avoid multiple display of the role names on the top.
You can use a merge id and set a priority according to which the same level navigation nodes will be merged.
Check SAP Help for more information:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/53/89503ede925441e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
For your need, create:
Role1 for Workset1
Role2 for Workset2
Role3 for Workset3
Role4 for Workset4
(All Roles with same name if required).
And for all the worksets you can have a merge id with the same id.
So for example, when Roles 1 and 2 are assigned, you can see both the worksets under the same role name.
Thanks,
Shanti

Enabling Menu Roles in Developer 2000( Very Urgent)

Also I am not able to delete a menu role once assigned from the property list. Please help me ...

it would help us answer your question if you were able to supply the full error message (and number) you are seeing).
I would guess that you have no active menu items (because of the security level)

Role in BW development Vs Production

Hi,
I created roles in development and transported it to production.
In development i created test user and assigned some roles to test and they are working fine...
I transported these roles to production the transport request imported with 0 errors and i physically checked all roles they are ok.
I created test user in production and tried to test the roles
RRMX --> excel will open and when i click queries it will ask to re enter password and once that is done excel will close...
Why is this happening...when i execute rrmx in production with my user name it executes good
The profiles of test users in both system are matching
How shall i proceed.
Thanks

Hi,
did the role have the autho to change password ??
You can check this note too : 970002 - Which BEx Analyzer version is called by RRMX?

ChaRM Test Message SDTM - Tester role cannot be same as the developer role

Hi Experts,
When the developer raise a test message SDTM, The developer couldn't confirm the message as we get a warning as
" Tester role cannot be same as the developer role "
We cheked the roles of developer and tester, they were not same .
We checked the Assign conditions in SDTM, But it doesnt have any values.
Advance thanks to all those replies.
Best regards,
Vin

Hi Friend
System check the name in the ticket or the BP for the person of Tester and Developer
Every person has unique BP so if the same name is entered in the ticket as Tester and developer then system will give you this warning.Since SAP recommendation is to have Dev and Tester 2 diff person.
You can ignore the same if Tester and Developer is the same person and might be you have technically created different roles for the same.
Hope it clarifies.

Prakhar

I would like to have your inputs on creating a developer role for CRM Functional Team in Dev system.
I found a standard role SAPCRM_DEVELOPER , does it has sufficient Authorisations to carry out the config work in CRM or do we need any more additional Auth.
The team members also have IC AgentIC ManagerSrv Pro roles as well.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You don't need a role to development team. You can assign the auth. in dev system and perform the tests in the specifics roles.
