Scope of GRC for Functional Guy...

Helo ,
I am SAP SD guy ..I have 2.5cyrs. of experience in SAP SD but right this moment i am into SAP GRC implementation project. Is there any bright scope for SAP GRC or else after this impelmentation project i have to go back to SAP SD to for my bread...
David...

Hello David,
Below are some general scope for SAP GRC Access Control.
RAR
1) GRC Configuration
2) Ruleset Design
3) Ruleset Configuration
4) Mitigation Process Design
5) Ruleset Changes Process Design
6) User Training
CUP
1) Workflow Design
2) Workflow Configuration
3) Approver List Process Design
4) Testing Workflow
5) Mitigation Approval
There's more things that I cannot think of at the moment. If you wish to know more, I suggest you read some articles on the phases involved in GRC components. Basically anything requires GRC, and you can be doing audit on CRM solutions with SD knowledge or designing process control, or even designing the ruleset that is used in SAP GRC Access Control. I hope this helps a little.

Hi Ram,
See the answers below
> 1)     Does eSOA is a tool, application or module?
ESOA is not any tool,application or module. Its a methodology/Architecture
> 2)     What is the relation between eSOA and ECC6.0?
ECC 6.0 provides some Enterprises Services through enhancement packages.
> 3)     What is the Scope/Role for Functional Consultants in eSOA?
FUnctional consultant should know which ENterprise Serrvices are available and which should be developed to carry out a business process.
> 4)     What I have to learn in eSOA?
.         Being a technical guy, there are things to be learnt like ESR, implementing designed serivces through ABAP or Java and consuming it. But being a functional guy, only awareness of what enterprise services are available and what they do and their input/output params and how they can fit into a business process is sufficient.
> 5)     How it is useful for Functional Consultant?
see above
> 6)     How it is useful for Customers?
Customers can move towards Service Oriented Architecture, get flexibility in changing a business process easily, maintaince cost is less
> 7)     How much time it will take to learn eSOA?
depends on your skills
> 8)     Where can get the Material?
lot of material in SDN
> 9)     What all technologies I have to learn before I learn to eSOA?
ABAP or JAVA,ESR ( being a technical consultant) , Web Services
> I am working as a SAP HR Consultant. If I want to learn eSOA what are the pre-requisites.
you should aware of basics of service oriented architecture

What are the input parameters for Function Module

Dear Experts,
I want to generate a Sales Tax returns report,those fields are not available in my existing Datasources.
For that i want to write a Generic Datasource with Function Module.

Here what are the Input parameters for Function Module.
Thanks in Advance.
Srinivasan.

Srinivasan-
For creating a Generic extractor based on a FM, you first of all need to know what is going to be your structure.. i.e. what all fields you need to pull from what all tables. A functional consultant may help you identify the exact DB tables.
Once you know them, hand over the requirement and the pdf mentioned by Krishna to the ABAP guy, he would be able to take this up further.
Also decide 1st whether you would be using a full load or delta. There is a slight difference in the way they are built.
Let me know how it goes.

"who am I" for functions?

With custom tags, there's a 'ThisTag' variable. Is there an
equivalant for functions? How does a function know who it is? The
'this' scope seems to call the parent, and the function's name is
present in the local 'variables' scope, but there's nothing to
indicate who is is. Any suggestions?

Hi,
1. Which positions i have to look for? EP Portal consultant / HR consultant / ABAPer .
You'll find it difficult to find a job as HR consultant as you have primarily worked in development roles and not in configuration ones. Since your focus so far has been ABAP/BSPs, you will find it easier to find an ABAP developer role. As far as EP Development Consultant is concerned, usually some JAVA knowledge will be demanded if you intend to apply for these roles. Occassionally, your BSP knowledge will do. So if you have the relevant knowledge, it shouldnt be a problem as well.
2. is BSP hot in the market ?
Its a nice to have and may be searching for jobs in your area will confirm if there is good demand for this.
Hope this helps.

First of all, uninstall it with the uninstaller.
Then:
Install the ENGLISH version.
Change the language in the CC app to Korean.
Install the Korean version. (DON't uninstall the English version)
Change back the langauge in the CC app to English.
When your OS is running in English, InDesign will run in English with Korean functionality added, if your OS is running in Korean it will take the Korean User Interface, so let your OS run in English.
Every installer language will add needed plugins for the work with that language. E.g. If I install Hebrew, I get RTL functionality in German version, only if I would change the OS language it would change the language of InDesign, InDesign takes always as UI language the language of the OS if available, if not (in your case you have uninstalled English before), it takes any version which is available in the order of languages specified in the OS.
If you need to run your program in a different language than the OS but you have installed it in the language of the OS it becomes more difficult. You would have to use some system tools which are able to force a program to open with a different language. Most of those tools are freeware.

Future for Java guys

I seen some of the articles, sap customer are pressuring to release ABAP version of portal instead of java so that, they no need to worry of multiple skilled persons and also they can avoid communication between java and ABAP. If that at is the case what would be the future of java guys who migrated to sap. What do you suggest for Java guys who is going to migrate to sap NetWeaver?

Hi Sreenivasulu,
You don't have anything to worry about. You will not see an ABAP version of the portal. ABAP is great for the business transaction functionality but was not designed to work with the web. That is why a couple of years ago the SAP CEO at Sapphire said that JAVA was going to be an important development tool for developing SAP application.

Segmentation-How much is role of a functional guy

Hi
Once a functional person has created the attribute lists for segmentation, with attributes and filters in it.
Now when a business user goes to segment builder to create target group, and finds this list insufficient to create the different types of target groups, then does a CRM Functional guy creates more Attribute lists or the business user can also do that?
Please suggest.
Regards,
Monica

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your reply.
I am an external consultant. I understand that all attributes need to be created by me.
There is an attribute list in Segmentation, which i sused in segment builder to create profiles and target groups. The think is there are lots and lots of attributes. And thousands of permutations and combinations are possible for creation of attribute lists. Like I could create on lise only with Sales volume from BW cube, one with only Marketing attributes, one with infosets (of 1 kind) plus some marketing attributes. I could create filter in one list on say 3 attributes, and in othe rin some other attributes. This is a non-ending process.
So, I am wondering should I create a few attribute lists and then when it goes live, are users able to create more attribute lists at that time and use it in segment builder?
Please suggest.
Best regards,
Monica

GRC RAR function ids

Hi,
I have a question for GRC RAR functions ids.After uploading objects,do i have to create function ids and add tcodes and update permissions with the help of controllers/finance admin.I am not sure how it works.
Thanks
Mushu.

Dear Mushu,
You will get businessprocess, rule set, funciton, risks etc., text files for different systems like R/3, CRM & SRM along with the installation files. You can upload these files and generate your SOD rules. This is standard rule set available from SAP. You can customize this rule set later as per your business requirements by changing functions, risks etc.,
If you want to have totally customized rule set then you need to follow the procedure of creating functions, addition of t-codes, authorization obejcts (permissions) enablement and then generating rules. If the customized rule set is huge the better to use the text files - tweak them and upload into RAR tool
Thanks and Best Regards,

Can't find FILTER CONDITION for filters or Function_Name for Functions

In the Data Warehouse 11gr1 views all_iv_xform...
I can't seem to find the Filter Conditions for filters and function name for functions that are called.
I have looked at the other views in the documentation for the API's but can't seem to find this information.
Any body have any ideas where this information is?
thanks
greG

select map_component_id, position, source_parameter_name
from ALL_IV_XFORM_MAP_PARAMETERS
where map_component_id in (
SELECT map_component_id
FROM ALL_IV_XFORM_MAP_COMPONENTS
WHERE MAP_ID IN (
select MAP_ID
from ALL_IV_XFORM_MAPS
where MAP_NAME = :p_map_name

Using map_component_id and position from above query you can see your filter condition defined in property_value:

How to log input parameters for Function Modules?

Hi,
I need to create a Logging system to trace input parameters for function modules.
The log functionality could be done by developing a class method or a function module (For example 'write_log'), and calling it within each function module that I want to log. The 'write_log' code should be independent from the interface of the Function Module that I want to log.
For example, I'd like to write a function/class method that can log both these functions modules:
Function DummyA
   Input parameters: A1 type char10, A2 type char10.
Function DummyB
   Input parameters: B1 type char20, B2 type char20, B3 type char20, B4 type Z_MYSTRUCTURE
Now the questions...
- Is there a "standard SAP" function that provide this functionality?
- If not, is there a system variable in which I can access runtime all parameters name, type and value for a particular function module?
- If not, how can I loop at Input parameters in a way that is independent from the function module interface?
Thank you in advance for helping!

check this sample code. here i am capturing only parameters (import) values. you can extend this to capture tables, changin, etc.

Scope of Planning for Total Planning

Hi SAP Gurus,
My Client Scenario is as follows
They import Spare Part materials from abroad to a Main Warehouse (defined as Plant in SAP) and then do stock transfer to around 60+ warehouse in different states (each defined as Plant in SAP).
At any time Stock exists in any of 60+ Plant and Main ware house Plant. However Purchase requirement and Purchase Order is created and placed from Only Main Warehouse Plant.
Now I am implementing Consumption based Planning with MRP. I am Planning to define a Scope of Planning for Total Planning.
Clarification I request :
1. Whether I need to define Only all 60+ Plants in Scope of Planning or can I include Main warehouse Plant also ?
2. In which case if there is requirement in one individual Plant and there exists stock in another one Plant - whether system will automatically create stock transfer Planned order. What Special procurement type I need to define for this (If it is 40 , whether I need to define any Issuing Plant, since I have 60 + Plants)
3. If I have to run Forecast and Planning run daily for 60+ Plants and weekly for Main warehouse Plant, Whether I need to create a Separate Scope of Planning for 60+ Plants and a Separate Variant for Main ware house Plant with different Schedules - Am I correct
Thanks and Regards,
R.Velmurugan.

Hi Kumar,
Thanks for your immediate response.
If we define Special procurement type 40 for 60+ warehouse Plants materials with Supplying plant as Main Warehouse Plant, then if there exists stock in one of 60+ Plants and there is requirement in one of another 60+ plants how system will consider and create stock transfer between them.
Whether stock transfer between 60+ as well as Main plant is Possible ? If possible how to define Special Procurement type ?
Secondly what ever issued from 60+ Plants is the real Consumption of Material (as Material issued from Main ware house plant to 60+ Plants is only stock transfers and not real consumption).
In which case how to go about for forecast and MRP run for 60+ Plants and Main plant ?
Thanks,
R.Velmurugan

Java.lang.VerifyError - Incompatible object argument for function call

Hi all,
I'm developing a JSP application (powered by Tomcat 4.0.1 in JDK 1.3, in Eclipse 3.3). Among other stuff I have 3 classes interacting with an Oracle database, covering 3 use cases - renaming, adding and deleting an database object. The renaming class simply updates the database with a String variable it receives from the request object, whereas the other two classes perform some calculations with the request data and update the database accordingly.
When the adding or deleting classes are executed, by performing the appropriate actions through the web application, Tomcat throws the following:
java.lang.VerifyError: (class: action/GliederungNewAction, method: insertNewNode signature: (Loracle/jdbc/driver/OracleConnection;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;I)V) Incompatible object argument for function call
     at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
     at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:120)
     at action.ActionMapping.perform(ActionMapping.java:53)
     at ControllerServlet.doResponse(ControllerServlet.java:92)

     at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853)
     at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:247)
...The renaming works fine though. I have checked mailing lists and forums as well as contacted the company's java support but everything I have tried out so far, from exchanging the xerces.jar files found in JDOM and Tomcat to rebuidling the project didn't help.
I just can't explain to myself why this error occurs and I don't see how some additional Java code in the other 2 classes could cause it?
I realize that the Tomcat and JDK versions I'm using are totally out of date, but that's company's current standard and I can't really change that.
Here's the source code. I moved parts of the business logic from Java to Oracle recently but I left the SQL statements that the Oracle stored procedures are executing if it helps someone.

After further googling I figured out what was causing the problem: in eclipse I was referring to external libraries located in eclipse/plugins directory, whereas Tomcat was referring to the same libraries (possibly older versions) in it's common/lib directory.

Can't get around this error after adding second dataset...A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one dataset

I added a dataset to an existing report and broke an aggregation. In the old (i.e. single dataset) report, this expression below worked fine. I wanted to get a distinct count of the vst_ext_id field when my educated field was like "VTE1*"
= CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!educated.Value like "VTE1*", Fields!vst_ext_id.Value, Nothing))
After adding a new dataset, this no longer works and I get the error " A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one dataset". Having done some research online, I found that I
needed to specify my dataset explicitly and I thought this new expression might work, but still no success...
= CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!educated.Value,"DataSet1" like "VTE12*", Fields!vst_ext_id.Value,"DataSet1", Nothing))
Am I missing something? Based on online responses, this explicit dataset naming convention seems to help most people, but it isn't working for me.
Thanks in advance!
Brian

I found the answer. Apparently, my expression syntax was off. This expression does the trick...
= CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!educated.Value like "VTE12*", Fields!vst_ext_id.Value,Nothing),"DataSet1")
I just happened upon this particular syntax searching online. I was trying to specify the dataset name after each .value, but I never got that to work. This is the only time I have found this particular syntax online.

What is the best method to parse a java file for function names

st="class";
while (StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF != tokenizer.nextToken ())
   if (StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD == tokenizer.ttype)
    if (tokenizer.sval.toLowerCase().equals(st.toLowerCase())){
    System.out.print (tokenizer.nextToken() + " "); //prints the class name on the console
    fileOut.print (tokenizer.sval + " "); //prints the class name to a file
}The above program searches a .java file for classes. I want to modify it so that it searches for function names as well. After several hours of figuring out various ways to do it with StreamTokenizer, I still havnt found a way. There seems to be no way to go back, i.e. no previousToken method, in StreamTokenizer.
Is it possible to do search for using StreamTokenizer, and are there easier ways of doing it?

Simple string tokenizing isn't an effective way to do this. You probably want something like ANTLR.
