  • Role of a Security Consultant in an SAP implementation Project

    Hi All,
    What is the role of a Security Consultant in an SAP implementation Project and the stages in which he is involved?

    Hello Mohammed,
    The role of a Security consultant in any SAP product implementation (not just GRC) is wide enough and it's hard for anyone to sum up on a single forum post. Still I can give you some pointers.
    Security consultants come from different backgrounds, some from networking, database administration, infrastructure and even development like me. They contribute enormously to any product implementation from scratch (landscape design) to go-live (and continuous maintenance) so they are active on every phase of the implementation.
    Following are some of the activities they may perform (or participate)
    -System Landscape Design (work closely with BASIS and DBAs)
    -Check Infrastructure feasibility from security perspective (For Portals exposed to internet or extranet work closely with network providers for firewall security, VPS etc.)
    -Propose security guidelines, access policies, disaster recovery plan, business continuity roadmap (work closely with information security consultants and internal auditors or risk management teams)
    - Implement SAP solution specific Security measures (involves almost every SAP solution) for example: SAP R/3 security, GRC, BW/BI, HR, FI, Portal security etc.
    - participate in application integration for example: LDAP, IDM, SAP UME, shared directories etc (User master records security is on high priority).
    -   Check for any possible backdoor access vulnerabilities (ex: open RFCs, function modules like ping_rfc), and it involves almost all SAP solutions and there are special procedures to analyze such vulnerabilities.
    there are many such activities that a security consultant perform on day to day basis. Please do not interprete the above mentioned activities (entirely) as a criteria for any security consultant profile. There are many many possibilities for a security consultants to work from pen testing to SoD violation remediation. That's why I said it's not easy to sum up security.
    Always remember, Security and GRC are two sides of a coin they work together. however GRC is more of a combination of policy, regulation, events and involves management participation whereas security is a purely technical practice.
    You may also be interested to know what it takes to become a forensic security specialist.  Take a quick look at [http://amudee.com/?p=378|http://amudee.com/?p=378]

  • Question of SAP Methodology of Implementation esp. System Testing and Test Script

    Dear SAP Member,
    As a very new and inexperienced customer to the SAP and the business. My company is preparing for the retail shop establishment which part of the preparation includes SAP implementation.
    At first, we strongly believe SAP can fit and serve our business need well. Also, the standard methodology of implementation will be able to deliver the system with expected quality. However, the local implementor disappoint my firm with poor quality delivery and control that result in the perception of uncertainty of the system to be lived.
    The methodology proposed by the implementor composed with
    1) Preparation
    2) Blueprint
    3) Realization
    a) Program development and unit test by vendor
    b) Training
    4) Final Preparation
    a) Integration test by Users
    b) Data conversion preparation
    5) Go-Live and Support
    My problem comes up with phase 4-5
    Problem 1: Unit/functional test performed by implementor . For this activities, how could customer ensure that every single function has been developed or implemented according to the requirement and without error?
    Problem 2: Vendor  provides slot for integration test for 7 days. Is it normal practice that test can be done within this short period?
    Problem 3: Does SAP methodology has the standard quality control, test enter and exit criteria and issue/incident management?
    Problem 4: How should the standard test script look like? What i received from implementor was like functional list rather than script.
    Problem 5: what should be step for conversion apart from the data preparation by users? The local implementor does not explain/elaborate the detailed activities.
    Last but not least, as the customer do not satisfy with the SAP partner (local implementor quality). What should be the process for feedback as to prevent other new customer to face the same problem?
    SK

    SK,
    Thamil has given his view.  Here is another.
    how could customer ensure that every single function has been developed or implemented according to the requirement and without error?
    If this is an issue to you, you can insist that members of your test team participate in unit testing.  You are, after all, the client, and it is your money being spent.  As long as you can furnish testers, who are competent to evaluate unit testing scenarios, you can have them work with the vendor during unit testing.
    Vendor  provides slot for integration test for 7 days. Is it normal practice that test can be done within this short period?
    It depends on what is being implemented.  I have seen implementations which contained over a hundred test scenarios and  over 2000 test scripts; each of which must be tested by multiple functional groups.  1 week is not enough to complete Integration testing in this case.
    Also remember that it is necessary to allow time to correct 'bugs' found during integration testing, and then to re-test after the bugs are fixed.  Except in the simplest of implementations, 1 week may not be enough to accommodate the bug fixes and retests.
    Does SAP methodology has the standard quality control, test enter and exit criteria and issue/incident management?
    Which 'SAP methodology' are you talking about?  Bottom line, the client must insist that the vendor incorporate any methodologies that are required for his business.  Don't assume that your vendor will automatically bring these items to the table, YOU may have to bring them to the table.
    How should the standard test script look like? What I received from implementer was like functional list rather than script.
    ?????  It should look like whatever you want it to look like.  Many companies have existing templates.  If your company doesn't have such a template, ask your vendor for one.  Go over it together with him and make appropriate modifications that meet your business requirements.
    what should be step for conversion apart from the data preparation by users? The local implementer does not explain/elaborate the detailed activities.
    It is impossible to say at the beginning of the project.  Sometime during realization, the client and the vendor will jointly develop a detailed cutover plan.  More importantly, the client will develop a change management plan for the client company, in which all stakeholders in the client company will come to understand how and when ALL of the client's business processes will need to change, and to develop plans for all affected groups.

    OracleJSP: An error occurred. Consult your application/system administrator for support. Programmers should consider setting the init-param debug_mode to "true" to see the complete exception message.

    Switch yourself to administrator mode ;-) and check the log files. Esp. the ones in $SOA_HOME/opmn/logs are of interest. Look for any java stack traces that are related (in time) to your request.
    When you contact Oracle Support you must provide much more information than this little snippet...

  • R12 12.0.4, System Administration, Debug, trace, log enabled monitoring

    Hi guys,
    I posted the same question with oracle.ittoolbox few days back and yet to get an answer. During the initial stages of implementation, I remember the consultants using a particular jsp/html page under System Administrator responsibility to view the status of diag, trace, log enabled status of the system, akka, if a profile option is enabled to debug, trace, or log was listed...
    Now, I want to access the same page (I have system administrator resp). The SQL query provided by metalink is too complex to understand
    Please help

    Hello again Hussein and others
    Our issue was NOT just with FND% profiles, rather with the consultants turning on diag and debug against their respective modules and later forgetting to turn them off. Take our case, we had SLA Debug enabled from last 2010 Feb until two days back, which has created 21 million rows of data with XLA diag table :)
    Once after turning the SLA debug and truncating the table (following Oracle guidelines) we have a database which is 1/3 of the size until recent times. Oracle has provided us an SQL query which produces the present status of all profiles with latest values (enabled or disabled). We were able to see a number of profiles with debug enabled and successfully disabled them.
    I represent the internal IT team and always have the acceptance for human errors like the SLA debug event. Oracle "apologized" for not having a screen or html form for monitoring such resource hungry activities. The output from the SQL script they provided is too complex for a person who doesn't have core techno functional knowledge about the system.
    Anyway, finally feeling a bit better...
    Thanks guys

  • SAP Implementation Process !!!

    Hi Folks,
    I need brief information about the SAP implementation process. As per the ASAP Methodology we have different phases involved in the entire implementation process from Project preparation,Blue print analysis,Realization,Final Preparation and Go Live Support.
    I did not involve myself into implementation. Being a Basis consultant I would like to know what is the involvement of basis consultant in each phase in detail and what are the activities being carry out by a basis team, what would be the avg team size and what would be the duration of the project approximately. I know it depends on the project and modules being used,architecture and all. i just wanted to know the rough details for information.
    I would really appreciate for any useful information.
    Regards,
    Vinod

    Hi Viond,
    Please find below an elaborated details for SAP Implementaion.
    The ASAP (Accelerated SAP) Roadmap provides the methodology for implementing and continuously optimizing your SAP System. It divides the implementation process into five major phases and offers detailed Project Plans to assist you (Microsoft Project format). The documentation stored at each level of the Roadmap tree structure contains recommendations on implementing your SAP System and links to helpful tools and accelerators. We use SAP Solution Manager for the same and define the steps and this information can be transformed into MPP.
    The implementation of your SAP System covers the following major phases:
    Project Preparation
    In this phase you plan your project and lay the foundations for successful implementation. It is at this stage that you make the strategic decisions crucial to your project:
    Define your project goals and objectives
    Clarify the scope of your implementation
    Define your project schedule, budget plan, and implementation sequence
    Establish the project organization and relevant committees and assign resources
    Sizing for the SAP Servers (SAPS) Important for Basis.
    Business Blueprint
    In this phase you create a blueprint using the Question & Answer database (Q&Adb) older versions and now it has been replaced by new value adds from SAP in Solution Manager, which documents your enterpriseu2019s requirements and establishes how your business processes and organizational structure are to be represented in the SAP System. You also refine the original project goals and objectives and revise the overall project schedule in this phase.  In short its As is >> To be its from from functional consultant (mapping of business process) Basis will be involved how and when backup will be taken what 3rd party/vendor will be used, how users will be handled (CUA or normal procedure).
    Realization
    In this phase, you configure the requirements contained in the Business Blueprint. Baseline configuration (major scope) is followed by final configuration (remaining scope), which can consist of up to four cycles. Other key focal areas of this phase are conducting integration tests and drawing up end user documentation. Major part will be creation of transport requests and transportation to QAS system. Configuration of SAProuter, Solution manager and its various configuration
    Final Preparation
    In this phase you complete your preparations, including testing, end user training, system management, and cutover activities. You also need to resolve all open issues in this phase. At this stage you need to ensure that all the prerequisites for your system to go live have been fulfilled...Final Check.
    Go Live & Support
    In this phase you move from a pre-production environment to the live system. The most important elements include setting up production support, monitoring system transactions, and optimizing overall system performance.
    You can also download an HTML version of the ASAP Core Roadmap 7.1 on [SAP Services Marketplace - ASAP Roadmaps and Run SAP Roadmaps|http://service.sap.com/asap] (SMP login required).
    All the best !

  • SAP Roles and Access for SAP Implementation team members

    Hi,
    Is it correct practice to give SAP_ALL role access for all SAP Implementation team members in Dev and QA?
    If not, what is the correct practice?
    Kindly let me know

    Madhu,
    It is NOT correct practice to give anyone SAP_ALL in any of the systems; not DEV, not QAS, and certainly not PRD. However, many implementation teams (and particularly consultants from SIs) insist that they cannot possibly do their jobs without it. This is completely incorrect as there are specific roles for them to use for that purpose. The only circumstance where it could be justified is if you require a special "firefighter" role - and even then, I would still be a bit doubtful.
    You should also consider that once you have given someone SAP_ALL, they will fight tooth and nail to keep it. It also means that they probably are not testing the user roles correctly. Most of those that insist they need it simply do not understand the security issues and probably don't care.
    Just think; if they have access to do soemthing that they shouldn't and then cause a big problem, are they the ones that will have to fix it or are they going to expect you to do it? If they expect you to clear up after them, then you have the right to insist on restricting their access to cause issues in the first place.
    But I know just how demanding they can be....
    Best of luck
    Tony
