SAP users identification - rename SAP Ids

Dear all,
We have a project to change the codification of our SAP users.
We will use the AD ids as SAP users instead of the current codification.
We will copy the current user to a new one and close the current.
After this operation, all the users will lost their layout variants, their user-settings ...
Do you know if it is possible to transfer all the user-specific objects to the new user ?
Do you know if a program exists to list all the program where the SAP user is used ?
thanks for you help.
Kind regards
Véronique

Dear Lynn,
We were in SAP ECC 6.0
We created a specific program to recreate  old users to new users based on an input file.
We didn't rename the user to keep the old user and keep the possibility to check the complete settings of this user.
We deleted the old user one year after.
With the specific program :
1/ we created the new user
2/ we copied some settings : layout variant, workflow settings, user settings, power list settings (linked to SAP EP)
we have the possibility to close the old user (lock and validity date) but we did it after in a second step
I hope it is clear
thanks
regards

  • SAP User Maintenance Against SAP License

    Hi Everyone,
    I would like to ask for an assistance regarding sap user. This is the scenario: The company has Employee A which was given sap userID with corresponding roles/profiles. Correct me if I'm wrong, the sap license depends also on the number of user in sap system. On this company, they reached the limit of their license according to number of user, for example 400 user. Suddenly,  Employee A resigned. New employee came, Employee B which will replace the job doing by Employee A. If we add another userID on sap system, the number of user will be 401 which exceeded the max user based on the license agreement. One way to solve this issue is to delete the userID as well as the profiles of Employee A and create new userID and profile of Employee B. Another way is to change the userID of Employee A and used its profile to Employee B. Is there available documentation from SAP supporting the above procedure?
    Regards,
    Ronald

    Licensing is based on active users. So if you lock user A, set its validity date to the day he/she left and take away the roles and profiles this user will not count for your licenses anymore sou you can safely create a new account for user B.
    Deleteing users can cause issues in workflow related proceesses and troubles searching in change documents. There have been some discussions about this in the Netweaver forum.

  • Giving BOBJ access to SAP User IDs

    Hi,
    We have implemented SAP BI with Integration to BOXI 3.1.
    We want to decide on access strategy on BOBJ.
    We have noticed that once SAP Users log in to BOBJ they start appearing in BO user list as <SID>~<CLNT>/UserName
    We are also able to assign BO access rights to these user IDs.
    I want to know if there are any drawbacks in using the above approach for assigning BO permissions.  
    Please let me know if there is any document with pros and cons for this approach or is it mandatory that we always assign permission using SAP Imported Roles
    Thanks

  • Business Partner ID same as SAP User ID

    Hi All,
    We have one SAP Service Desk Implementation going on.
    There is an intresting requirement as follows:
    1) BP ID generated should be same as their respective SAP User ID, irrespective of the BP Role.
    2) First Run for Mass Generation has to be done and that should take care of point 1.
    3) Business Partners should be automatically created by system whenever a new SAP User ID is created in system landscape.
    I know that if i use external number range, this can be done. Moreover there is one standard BP Mass Creation program also. But challenge is to find setting which makes this BP ID generated same as SAP User ID.
    In past, I have manually created external BPs like this because volume was very low in those projects... but now we have more than 1000+ users whose will be associated with service desk.
    Please advice.
    Regards,
    SM

    Hi,
    there is a technical problem with your request:
    BP numbers are limited to 10 characters but user IDs can have up to 12 characters.
    So you will not be able to set BP number = user ID if you have user IDs with more than 10 characters.
    Regards,

  • Creating second InfoView entry point for SAP users in XI 3.1

    Hi All,
    I have BOE XI 3.1 up and running with the Business Objects Integration kit SAP Solutions kit I would like to create a second infoview entry point for SAP users on the same physical box (single server) as regular InfoView. 
    I am trying to mock this up and have detailed the following steps below.  I suspect I am missing a few steps (for example, where do I specify the entry port?).  I am sure step 2 is wrong, as I the desktoplaunch no longer exists in Xi 3.1
    1.  Copy the InfoView.war file to a new directory ( Program Files/Business Objects/ Business Objects Enterprise 12.0/java/applications/sap).  I imagine I would need to rename the war file (say SAPInfoview.war)?
    2.  Create a xml file with the following logic (the part in bold I consider to be wrong...):
    <Context docBase="Program Files\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\java\applications\sap\SAPInfoview.war" path="/
    businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch"
    crossContext="false" debug="0" reloadable="false"
    trusted="false"/>
    3.  Save the xml file (what name? does it matter) in Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\conf\Catalina\localhost
    4.  Restart Tomcat
    5.  Change the web.xml to make SAP security the default.  But this should not be the regular infoview web.xml.  I'm not sure where this would reside.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Ingo,
    You've been working with Duncan and Sartaj on this.  The client has two set of users:  non HR which has no BW or R/3 authorization restrictions, and HR, which has authorization restrictions.
    They have deployed SSO using AD for the non HR users.  They also want to leverage InfoView rather than the SAP portal.  For the HR users, we therefore need to capture the SAP id and password at login time to enforce security at the BW and R/3 levels.  We could use the existing Infoview entry point (SSO will fail and they will be prompted for a SAP login).  I do remember that we offered a second InfoView entry point for SAP users in XIR2.  I thought this may be more elegant.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Last time one of our user changed her last name we create new user id for her and then locked and deleted old account.
    I don't think its possible to change username from all documents/objects/change documents which users has created under his/her id. The best, and the only way I think is to create new user id and delete/lock old one.
    Regards,
    Pawan.
    PS: profile parameters and favourites can be copied from old user id to new or any other user id.

    Go to transaction SE16 and type USER_ADDR . Give the list of first names and last names in the respecitive fields and execute.  The user field will give you the list of SAP user id's .

    Oh, thanks. It seems that I must create my own java code to resolve it.
    To rename the sap user id, I will have to call to the tasks, create user and later delete old user, but my question is. How could I copy, to the new user, the old user's roles and profiles?
    Obrigado ;)

  • Usage of SAP* user in OOSB

    Hi Gurus,
    I'll be implementing Structural Authorization for my current project.
    I received requirement to restrict ESS and MSS display access specific to Qualification/Qualification Group (by object ID).
    General Authorization cannot specify the restriction by Object ID, thus I'm considering to restrict it using authorization profiles.
    Restriction for MSS view has successfully tested since MSS users will be assigned with MSS Authorization Profile in OOSB. The issue that I'm facing at the moment is how to apply the same restriction to ESS without assigning ESS IDs in OOSB - approximately 40K ESS users; will it impact the system performance anyway?
    If I were to use similar authorization profile defined in OOSP as per MSS, the only way to make it effective for all ESS users without assigning PD profile to each ESS ID in OOSB is by using SAP* - this is based on my understanding referring to notes that I found as attached below. I plan to customize authorization profile specific for ESS users and assign it to SAP* - still in test stage.
    Here are the statement that I'm referring to from the notes mentioned above:
                  " What happens if the table doesnu2019t contain entries for a specific user? In that case, the authorization check uses the
                    entry of the SAP* user. So, the profile stored for this user is applicable if an entry has been left out."
    Please correct me if I'm wrong and appreciate your advice on this matter. Million thanks

    Hi,
    In this scenerio you can activate Context based structural authorizations where the Auth profiles are not assigned to User Ids directly but assigned via Custom roles using authorization objects P_ORGINCON (HR: Master data with Context) and P_ORGXXCON (HR: Master data- Extended Check with Context).
    Authorization objects P_ORGINCON and P_ORGXXCON consists of the same fields as to P_ORGIN and P_ORGXX respectively and has been expanded to include the PROFL field. The PROFL field is used to determine which structural profile the user is authorized to access (as per table T77UA - User Authorizations = Assignment of Profile to User).
    Additionally,I f you have requirements that cannot be mapped using the P_ORGINCON and P_ORGXXCON authorization objects (for example, because you want to build your authorization checks on additional fields of the Organizational Assignment infotype 0001 that are customer-specific) and if you want to implement the context solution, you can include an authorization object- P_NNNNNCON (HR Master Data: Customer-Specific Authorization Object with Context) in the authorization checks yourself.
    Please note following switches have to be activated for Context based Structural authorization in table T77S0 (tcode- OOAC)
    AUTSW INCON (HR Master Data (Context))- Authorization Main Switch that controls whether the P_ORGINCON authorization object should be used in the authorization check.
    AUTSW XXCON (HR Master Data: Extended Check (Context))- Authorization Main Switch that controls whether the P_ORGXXCON authorization object should be used in the authorization check.
    AUTSW NNCON (Customer Authorization Object (Context))- Authorization Main Switch that controls whether the P_NNNNNCON customer-specific authorization object should be used in the authorization check.
    Hope this is helpful!
    Thanks

  • Renaming /sap/public for BSP applications running on WAS 6.20?

    /sap/PUBLIC is created by default on the 6.20 WAS, and BSP applications fetch mime objects from /sap/PUBLIC/bsp/sap/public -- is it possible to rename /sap/PUBLIC to something else, like /sap/MYPUBLIC?

    An alias would probably work just as well. However, I'm not sure if it will solve the problem we're facing: we have a complex portal running behind a reverse-proxy. Through the portal users access applications on to WASs -- both of them have files referring to /sap/public/...
    The problem is that since both are behind a reverse-proxy from the user's side all the requests are made to the same host, and the reverse-proxy has to figure out by looking at the URL to which server it should forward request. So in the case of the applications on the WAS it can't distinguish between one /sap/public and the other.
    I'm no BSP programmer -- suppose an alias was created -- am I right to guess that all the references in the BSP files to /sap/public will need to be manually changes to /sap/<new alias>? or is there some way to do it automatically?
    Thanks,
    Alon.

  • How to let SAP user use SSO to access Application in DMZ?

    Hi All,
    Our J2EE application is running on a system in DMZ which can not be connected with LDAP. So I am wondering if it's possible to let SAP user use SSO to access our application.
    After talking with my colleague I think the only way is to import SSO public key to our WebAS and create user in UME and then assign user to the corresponding public key, but anybody know where to download SSP verification file or is it allowed to download and import into another system at all?

  • Error while scheduling report for SAP users

    Hi All,
    We have SAP authentication enabled in our BO environment. (BO XI 3.1 sp2 FP 2.6 on windows 2003 server).
    There are some webi reports based on BW Bex queries that we are trying to run on behalf of certain SAP end users. This we are doing using "schedule for" option.
    Now what is happening here is if the end user has logged in once in BO system ,it runs fine. But in case user has not logged in to BO (using infoview etc.) ,it throws error saying "incomplete logon data" . Also if user changes or reset his password in BW and if he doesn't login to infoview after that ,system throws another error "Name or password incorrect (repeat logon)".
    Based on these observation, we are suspecting if BO system uses stored SAP users credentials while scheduling report for them based on their last login.
    Would like to mention here that we have checked option "automatically import users".
    Please advice if this behavior is normal or we are missing some setting.
    Thanks in advance,
    Chandra

    Hi All,
    Any pointers or suggestions for this issue ??
    Is there a setting/option avialable in CMC which could resolve these errors.
    Or, user has to login once to infoview in all circumstances to avoid these errors.
    Thanks,
    Chandra
