Roles based ' N 'step BADI

Hi,
Could any one tell, how to do the role based workflow using 'N'step BADI and also send sample code.
Thanks.
Prasad.

Check with SRM forum I think this question was discussed there. It seems some parameters in BADI needs to be populated for this issue.
Thanks

  • Complexity of using N-step BADI in SRM 7using Process controlled Workflow.

    Hi,
    Just as a big thought,
    I have a Shopping Cart requirement, Here i am asked to develop a Custom workflow for SRM 7.0.
    And the client is looking for us to use Process Control Workflows i.e(BRF integrated one).
    I need to understand the complexity of using a N-step BADI.
    How would be the complexity level if I use a N step BADI( ie Multiple approval levels on Line Item Based).
    Kindly tell me the complexity of Using it and if any one has come across some requirement like this, then explain me that how did you face the situation.
    Expecting an Earliest Response.
    Thanks,
    Shanky

    Hi,
      Is your project SRM 7.0 implementation project then you have to go for Process Controlled Workflow and if your project is upgrade then you can still go with Application Controlled Workflow but down line this has to switch to Process Controlled Workflow.

  • N Step BADI Approval Workflow Error in SRM 7.0

    Hi,
    I have implemented SC  Workflow Approval based on line item(sequential approval). I implemented process controlled workflow for this using N step Badi. Necessasy configuration done for each level at schema. All steps are executed per line item and agents determined using N step Badi /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER.
    Even in SC after the document is ordered, in approval overview tab i see the all level sequence with  approvers name for that  line item.
    But when approved by first approver, it doesnot move to the next level for approval and the SC is approved bypassing all approvers in the following levels.
    For example, if there four levels of approvals for one line item. as soon as the first approver approves the SC is approved and in SC Approval Overiew tab that contained four level of approval in it is now reset to one level with SC marked as appproved.
    Have anybody come across this error.
    Not able to figure out why it is happening so... need some expert advice.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Masa .. thanks for your reply.
    Was on vacation so could not reply.
    I have below settings in SRM for SC
    Process Level definition should be like this.
    Level Eva.ID ; Resolver Task ID Decision Type
    100 L100 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
    200 L200 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
    300 L300 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
    I have implemented /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER for R100.
    for grouping we are using line item number ... so each line item is a group.
    Below are issues that i am facing now.
    For say 2 line item in a SC... with 3 level of approvals for each line item. I am not able to approve one line item in a sequence. For example: If for first line item, when I approve level one .. then the workitem doesnot move to 2nd approver's inbox for that line item. Now if second items (asssuming there are only 2 line items in SC) first approver has approved then i see all second level of approvers available for all line item.
    In short system waits for all one level approvers to approver for all line item and when all the line items are approved at one level then the workitems are available for seconds level of approval.
    Is this the standard behaviour?
    As per our requirement we wanted one line item shoudl follow the approveral sequence without being dependent on other items approval.

  • GRC10 Firefighter - Role-based & ID-based

    GRC Gurus,
    I am looking for a solution or at least theoretical discussion about a scenario in which GRC 10 system is connected to more than 1 target system and in one system I want to use FFID-based option where as in other system it is FF-Role based. For example, in a system where all the users are logging in through SAP GUI, it will be better to have FFID-based firefighter where as in system where most of the users are logging in through portal it will be better to have role-based firefighter. under GRC5.3 it was pretty simple as RTAs were independent in each separate system but in GRC10 since type of firefighter is controlled by single parameter, what will be a way to implement such hybrid approach.
    Regards,
    Shivraj

    Thanks Anji,
    Thanks for the response, I am aware of the 4000 situation, I was just wondering if someone has figured out any workaround for this. Because otherwise, it is a step backward for new version as under 5.3, systems could have been on different setups whereas under GRC10 that is not possible.

  • Role Based FireFighter

    Greetings All,
    We are doing SAP GRC Access Control implementation in our company. We have Modulewise Master Roles working as firefighter Roles. In emergency we assign it to a user for 24 hours. Now when we are implementing FireFighter we want to keep existing Role Model but use the funcationality of FF. Have anyone gone through this scenario, do let me know the steps we need to configure the existing model with new FF Model and AE.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,

    Try Firefighter roles instead of Firefighter users.
    FF access via role assignments can be approved and provisioned in Access Enforcer (AE). Firefighter access can also be removed via Access Enforcer by submitting a request to remove the firefighter roles. FF access approvals are captured in the AE audit trail. The business reason for requesting/approving the access can also be captured in the comment section of AE.
    FF access could be granted only after appropriate approvals EVERY time a user needs FF access. Each time a request for the FF role through AE (the request could go through a separate workflow path) and the request will be approved before being provisioned to the user. The approver can change the validity dates on the role assignment so that it can be provisioned for one day, for a week, a month, etc... An audit trail in AE will provide the approver information for historical purposes. This meets the policy of approvals every time FF access is provided instead of the 24/7 master data set-up in the original Firefighter process.
    When running an SOD risk analysis on the user, the report will show the SODs the user has including their Firefighter access. (These SODs would then be mitigated per user even though they are a Firefighter.) There is a risk to the company when a firefighter can do one half of the risk on their own user ID and the second half of the risk on their Firefighter ID. Although this could still be caught, it would take some manual analysis. By using role-based Firefighter, all activities are performed and recorded under the user's normal user ID.
    The Firefighter does not need to "check-out" a Firefighter ID the access is on their normal user ID.
    The standard SAP audit trails have the user IDs instead of the firefighter IDs, so when researching the change, the firefighter logs don't need to be analyzed to see which user had used that Firefighter ID at that time.

  • Approver skipped during approval process in N-step BADI workflow

    Hi,
    I am some problem in n-step BADI approval process. For some reasons one of the approvers is skipping during approval. And later in the approval preview it observes that the approver, who is just above the skipped approver, is appeared twice.
    I am not able to simulate this issue though this is happening in the system frequesntly though it is not for all.
    Can you please let me know what is the problem in the system and how can we rectify this issue?
    Thank You.
    Regards,
    Krish

    Hello
    sorry search for the n-step WS14500015 is the item based...
    Another thing, you can try with testing to restrict the case to special conditions. Are there any added-approver there? Is there any approver who makes some changes to the SC? etc..

  • To run OHS at port 80 using solaris role based access control

    Hi.
    I already know & have done setuid root to ohs/bin/.apachectl to allow ohs to listen to port 80. Now on a new OFM 11.1.1.4 install, I want to use Solaris Role Based Access Control (RBAC) instead. Is it possible? RBAC does work as I can run a home built apache2 httpd at port 80 withOUT suid root.
    On Solaris 10, I enabled oracle uid to run process below port 1024 using RBAC
    /etc/user_attr:
    oracle::::type=normal;defaultpriv=basic,net_privaddr
    Change OHS httpd.conf Listen from port 8888 to port 80.
    However, opmnctl startproc process-type=OHS
    failed as below with nothing showing in the diag logs:
    opmnctl startproc: starting opmn managed processes...
    ================================================================================
    opmn id=truffle:6701
    0 of 1 processes started.

    failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
    Thx,
    Ken

    Just to add my two cents here.
    The commando used on Solaris to assign the right privilege to bind TCP ports < 1024 is:
    # usermod -K defaultpriv=basic,*net_privaddr* <your_user_name>
    Restart the opmnctl daemond.
    After that OHS/Apache user can bind to lower TCP ports.

  • Renumbering with ACL-Friendly Role-Based Addressing or...?

    We are a mid-sized manufacturing firm operating out of three locations and we are in the process of making plans to restructure and renumber our networks so as to better facilitate automated configuration management and security, in addition to easing our deployment of IPv6.  Currently, at each site the L3/L2 boundary resides at the network core, but increasing traffic/chatter has us considering moving the L3/L2 boundary to the access layer(s), which consist of 3560-X units in the wiring closets that are supporting edge devices either directly or via 8-port 3560-C compact switches in the further reaches of our manufacturing and warehouse spaces.
    As we contemplate moving to a completely routed network, the big unknown we're struggling with is whether or not it is safe or even desirable to abandon ACL-friendly addressing, and whether, in doing so, we can expect to run into hardware limitations resulting from longer ACLs.
    Currently, each of our site-wide VLANs gets a subnet of the form 10.x.y.0/24, where x identifies the site and y identifies the class of equipment connected to said VLAN.  This allows us to match internal traffic of a given type with just a single ACE, irrespective of where the end-point device resides geographically.  Moving L3 routing decisions out to the access switches will require that we adopt smaller prefix assignments, with as many as 8 distinct subnets on each of our standard-issue 3560CG-8PC compact switches.  Why so many, you ask?  We currently have more than 30 ACL-relevant classifications of devices/hosts - a number that will only grow with time, and to maximize the availability of all services, it is our policy to physically distribute edge devices of a given class (eg. printers, access points, etc) over as many access switches as possible.
    From what I can see, we have three options, each of which present trade-offs in terms of management complexity and address utilization efficiency: 
    Option 1: Stick with ACL-friendly addressing, both for IPv4 and IPv6, and allocate uniform prefixes to each access switch.  For IPv4, within the 10.0.0.0/8 block we would probably allocate 8 bits to the site ID (/16), followed by 6 bits as the switch ID (/22), and 7 bits to identify the equipment/host classification (/29), for a maximum of 5 available addresses for a given class of devices on a given access switch.  For IPv6, assuming we have a /48 block for each site, we would use the first two bits to identify the type of allocation, the following 6 as the switch ID (/56), and the following 8 as the equipment/host classification (/64).
    Option 2: Abandon ACL-friendly addressing and dynamically allocate standard-sized prefixes from a common pool to each VLAN on a given switch.  The advantages of this approach are increased utilization efficiency and more addresses available within each VLAN, but it comes at the cost of non-summarizable routing tables and ACLs, and even if the hardware can handle this, it means we're talking about a more complex configuration management system and less ease in troubleshooting problems.
    Option 3: Do something similar to option 1, but with the L2/L3 boundary positioned at the distribution layer rather than the access layer.  I'm disinclined to go this route, as it seems to require the same, if not more, management complexity than we'll encounter with option 1, with only marginal benefits over keeping things the way they are currently (L2/L3 boundary at the network core).
    Thoughts?  What issues have we neglected to consider?  No matter which approach we select, it shall be assumed that we will be building a system to track all of these prefix assignments, provision switches, and manage their configurations.  From a standpoint of routing protocols, we would probably be looking at OSPFv2/v3.  It can also be assumed that if we encounter legacy devices requiring direct L2 connectivity to one another that we already have ways of bridging their traffic using external devices, so as far as this discussion is concerned, they aren't an issue.
    Thanks in advance for your ideas!

    Hi David,
    Permissions based on GUI components is a simple & neat idea. But is it rugged? Really secure? It might fall short of Grady Booch's idea of Responsibilities of objects. Also that your Roles and Access components are coupled well with Views!!!!!!!
    My suggestion regarding the Management Beans is only to do with the dynamic modification which our discussion was giong forward.
    If we go back to our fundamental objective of implementing a Role based access control,let me put some basic questions.
    We have taken the roles data from a static XML file during the start up of the container. The Roles or Access are wanted to be changed dynamically during the running of the container. You would scrutinize the changes of Roles and access before permission during the case of dynamic modification.
    Do you want this change to happen only for that particular session? Don't you want these changes to persist??? When the container is restarted, don't you want the changes to stay back?
    If the answer to the above is YES(yes I want to persist changes), how about doing a write operation(update role/access) of the XML file and continue your operation? After all, you can get the request to a web or session bean and keep going.
    If the answer to the above is NO(no, i don't want to persist), you can still get the change role request to a web or session bean and keep going.
    Either way, there is going to be an intense scrutiny of the operator before giving her permissions!!!
    One hurdle could be that how to get all neighbouring servers know about the changes in roles and access??? An MBean or App Server API could help you in this.
    May I request all who see this direction to pour in more comments/ideas ? I would like to hear from David, duffymo, komone and jschell.

  • What is the mean of using Portal with Role Based security as entry point

    Hi Experts we have requirement of integration of Portal and MDM
    I am completely new to the MDM. So please give me some idea , what is the meanin for following points.
    1) Using the Portal with Role Based security as entry point for capacity and Routing Maintaince(These two are some modules).
    2) Additionally , Portal should have capability to enter in to the MDM for future master data maintence. Feeds of data will need to be come from  SAP 4.6c
    Please give me the clarity of what is the meanin of second point
    Regards
    Vijay

    Hi
    It requires the entire land scape like EP server and MDM server both should be configured in SLD.
    Your requirement is maintaing and updating the MDM data with Enterprise portal.We have some Business Packages to install in Portal inorder to access the functionality of MDM.
    Portal gives you a secure role based functionality of MDM through Single sign on (login into the portal access any application) to their end users.
    Please go through this link
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdmgds55/helpdata/EN/45/c8cd92dc7f4ebbe10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
    You need to develope some custom applications which should be integrated into the portal to access MDM Server master data
    The estimation involves as per your requirement clearly
    Its depends upon the Landscape settings, Requirement complexity,Identify how many number of custom applications need to be developed

  • Role Based FireFighter with GRC 10.0 (CEA)

    Does anyone know how the Role Based functionality of FireFighter exactly works besides putting the application type parameter to Role Based in SPRO?
    The manuals explain that the FF users log in to the remote system with their own users, but how are the FF roles or roles that are enabled for Firefighting assigned to these users and how will the log file know which activity to record?

    Good question, and the answer is not pretty.
    In Role-Based Firefighter Application, the firefighter ID on the target system contains the user's regular access plus his/her firefighter access.
    Reporting turns on when the user runs a transaction in the firefighter role.
    If the transaction is in both the user's regular access and the firefighter role, reporting will turn on because the firefighter role access is in use.
    The reports only track firefighter role usage.  So if a user runs a firefighter transaction but also uses access defined in the user's regular access, the only thing recorded is the transaction.
    If your company is not completely married to the idea of using Role-Based Firefighter Application, I suggest you consider the ID-Based Firefighter Application.  In this, there are separate firefighter IDs on the target system and a firefighter gains access to them by going into GRC and completing a form showing how the firefighter ID will be used, and then the GRC system will let the firefighter into the target system using that firefighter ID.

  • EAM ID based or Role based? Why settle for just one?

    G'Day All,
    I've raised a question in the following blog, however I would like to open it up to other people as well so they might get something out of it and in the process might share their own thoughts on the matter at hand.
    ID-Based Firefighting vs. Role-Based Firefighting
    So this is where I am at this point:
    From what I can gather so far, my understanding of EAM ID/ROLE based is as follows:
    - Id Based: Logs in using own U.ID and through GRAC_SPM accesess FFID from the GRC Server and logs into the system assigned to them (ECC, SRM, CRM etc)
    Only one user at a time can use a FFID.
    Firefighter need not exist in every system assigned to them due to central logon however they need to exist in the GRC system
    Knows exactly when FFID is being used as he/she has to login so has a psychological effect (good thing)
    Better tracking of FF tasks - Specific log reports with Reason Codes. Bonus point from Auditors!
    Two Log ins so potential to commit fraud. (1 action using own UserID and 1 action using FFID)
    Could be hard to track and find out when a fraud has been committed so can be a problem with auditors.
          ID Based -> GRAC_SPM : TCode for Centralised FFighting -> You will see FFIDs assigned to you
          ID Based -> /n/GRCPI/GRIA_EAM : TCode for DCentralised FFighting -> You can see  the FFIDs assigned to you
    - Role Based: Logs into the remote system only using U.ID, so everything gets logged against that one ID. 
    Multiple users can use the FFROLE at once.
    Firefighter has to exist in every system assigned to them - so multiple logons.
    Hard to differentiate between FF tasks and normal tasks as no login required  So easy to slip up
    Time consuming to track FF tasks - No Specific log reports. No Reason Codes
         R.Based -> GRAC_SPM : TCode for Centralised FFighting -> You will see FFROLEs
         R.Based -> /n/GRCPI/GRIA_EAM : TCode for DCentralised FFighting -> Not applicable so wont work
    So based on this there are pros and cons in both however according to SAP only one can be used. To me personally,  it makes more sense to get the best of both the worlds right? So here is my question why can’t we just use both?
        . Really critical tasks -> FFID
        . Normal EAM tasks -> FFRole
    Alessandaro from the original post pointed this out:
    "Per design it isn't possible to achieve both types of firefighting at the same time. It's a system limitation and hence to configurable."
    Well this is what I can't seem to get my head around. For a FFID, there is a logon session so it has to be enabled and as far as I can tell there is no way around it.
    However for FFRole, there isn't such limitations/restrictions like starting a separate session. FFRole is just assigned to an end user for him/her to perform those tasks using their own user ID.
    So in what way is it different from any of their other tasks/roles, other than the fact that they've got an Owner/Controller assigned to the FFRole? and
    What is stopping us from using it when ID based is the default?
    If I were to do the following does it mean I can use both ?
        . Config Parameter: 4000 = 1 (GRC System) -> ID Based
        . Config Parameter: 4000 = 2 (Plug-In)  - > Role Based
    Please excuse me if my logic is a bit silly, Role Based firefighting is only done on Plug-in systems so the following should work just fine:
       . Config Parameter: 4000 = 2 (Plug-In)  - > Role Based
    However for ID based, it is a Central Logon, so the following is a must:
        . Config Parameter: 4000 = 1 (GRC System) -> ID Based
    Which means both ID/Role based can be used at the same time, which seems to be working just fine on my system. Either way I leave it you experts and I hope you will shed some light on it.
    Cheers

    Gretchen,
    Thank you for thoughts on this.
    Looks like I'm failing to articulate my thoughts properly as the conversation seems to be going in a different direction from what I am after. I'll try once more!
    My query/issue is not in regards to if/what SAP needs to do about this or why there isn't more support from Companies/Organizations and not even, which one is a better option.
    My query is what is stopping us(as in the end users ) from using both ID/Role based at the same time?
    Now before people start referencing SAP documentation and about parameter 4000, humour me with the following scenario please. Again I would like to reiterate that I am still in the learning phase so my logic might be all wrong/misguided, so please do point out to me where I am going wrong in my thought process as I sincerely would like to know why I am the odd one out in regards to this.
    Scenario
    I've created the following:
    FFID
    FFROLE
    Assigned them to, two end users
    John Doe
    Jane Doe
    I set the Configuration Parameters as follows: 
    IMG-> GRC-> AC-> Maintain Configuration Settings -> 4000:1 - ID Based
    IMG-> GRC (Plug-in)-> AC-> Maintain Plug-In Configuration Settings-> 4000:2 - Role Based
    User1
    John Doe logs into his regular backend system (ECCPROD001)-> executes GRAC_SPM-> Enters the GRC system (GRCPROD001)-> Because the parameter is set to ID based in the GRC Box, so he will be able to see the FFID assigned to him-> and will be presented with the logon screen-> Logs in -> Enters the assigned system (lets say CRMPROD001) At this point the firefighting session is under progress
    User2
    Jane Doe logs into her regular backend system (ECCPROD001) -> (can execute GRAC_SPM to check which FF Role has been assigned to her but she can see that in her regular menu, so there is no point) -> Executes the transactions assigned in FFROLEThis is done at the same time while FFID session is in progress
    So all I want to know is if this scenario is possible? if the answer is No, then why not?
    I physically carried out this scenario in my system and I had no problems(unless I am really missing the plot here), which brings me back to my original question: Why settle for just one?
    Again to reiterate I am not getting into the efficacy or merits of this or even if one should use this. Just want to know if it is possible/feasible or not.
    So there you have it. That's the whole enchilada(as they say there in Texas). I tried to word my thoughts as concisely as I can, if there are still any clarifications, more information you or anyone else reading this would like, please do let me know.
    Regards,
    Leo..
