UME Roles for PDF Actions
Hello All,
Can you please let me know which UME roles I need to add in NWA to enable PDF actions in MII workbench for my user. For e.g. I want to use the Generate Documentation feature and even after following SAP notes 1325997. Its still disabled.
Thanks,
Kiran
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for your help in answering our questions. I tried adding the PDF actions XMII_PDF* to one of our roles assigned to the user and still the Generate Documentation icon is disabled. I followed the steps provided in 1325997
Solution
1. Download and unzip the attached pdfactions.zip file to your local
machine.
2. Obtain version 1.4.5. of
the third-party iText.jar and iTextAsian.jar, from
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/download.html and save to your local machine.
3. Rename the files iText.jar and iTextAsian.jar making sure to match the
noted case.
4. Open a browser window and navigate to the SAP xMII Administration
Menu at http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Menu.jsp.
5. On the SAP xMII Administration Menu, choose System Management ->
Custom Actions. The Custom Actions screen appears.
6. To upload the .jar files to SAP xMII, click Upload. PDFActions.jar is
the assembly .jar file, and iText.jar and/or iTextAsian.jar are the
dependency .jar files.
I also restarted my server to make sure the changes will be activated but so far I have been unable to make it work.
Thanks,
Kiran

Configuration hint for PDF Action in 12.0.3 / 12.0.4
A few hints how to configure the PDF Actions in xMII 12.0.3 and 12.0.4 because there are different confusing information around.
There is an older note [1022113 |http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1022113]for 12.0 - but don't make the mistake to use it. The attached .jar file makes problem in 12.0.3 / 12.0.4 and the information to use the current release of iText is also wrong.
There is a newer note [1109054|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1109054] for 12.0 SP2.
The attached PDFActions.jar file (as .zip) is correct.
1) Download the .jar file
2) Be sure to use the version 1.4.5 from iText: [http://downloads.sourceforge.net/itext/itext-1.4.5.jar|http://downloads.sourceforge.net/itext/itext-1.4.5.jar]
3) Rename the file itext-1.4.5.jar to iText.jar
4) Open a browser window and navigate to the SAP xMII Administration Menu at http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Menu.jsp.
5) On the SAP xMII Administration Menu, choose System Management -> Custom Actions. The Custom Actions screen appears.
6) To upload the .jar files to SAP xMII, click Upload. PDFActions.jar is the assembly .jar file, and iText.jar is the dependency .jar files.
12.0.4
This is ok for 12.0.3, but after an upgrade to 12.0.4 you cannot open the workbench because of a missing iTextAsian.jar. To avoid this you have to download [http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/itext/iTextAsian.jar|http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/itext/iTextAsian.jar].
If you do it before step 6 above you have to use iTextAsian.jar as second dependency file.
If the PDF actions are already deployed (for example in 12.0.3), you have to delete (don't forget to deploy after that) and to upload and deploy the three files again.
Now it should work. Try the function "Generate Documentation" in a transaction in the workbench to test it.

MarkusHi Markus Seeger
Thak-s for your little manual!
It works also for SAP xMII 12.0.6!!!

Hi experts,
Is it possible to create a role in UME only with "view"/"information" actions?
So that the revisors only can check the tab "my work", "informer", "configuration" and cannot change the configurations?
If I give a UME-User only all "View*" roles the tab "configuration" appears but not with all subitems?! Otherwise the revisor get to do modifications in the systems. Okay all modifications are marked in the logs but this is again work for the admins to check the log-files after each review.
Is there any possibilty to go round this process?
Thanking you in anticipation,
AlexaHi Alexa,
Yes it is possible to restrict CUP Reviewer's access to only "My Work" and "Informer" tabs, or even certain options under "Configuration tab" though GRC AC UME role/permissions.
I would advise not to give "Configuration" tab access to the reviewers, as it contains ADMIN only functionalities. This can be done by not assigning Action "ViewConfiguration" to Reviewers in UME. Also not all "Viewxxx" actions should be assigned to reviewers.
To start with you can use SAP delivered "AEApprover" UME role for CUP Reviewers and then customize the permissions in it to suite your requirement.
Refer latest Access Control Security guide to know more on different Actions/permissions.

PDF Action configuration window is not opening
Hi ,
I am working on xMII 12.0.In the Logic editor PDF Action blocks when i click on configuration , window is not opening.But the Link editor is opening.It is only for PDF action blocks.can any one tell me the solution for this.
Thanks&Regards
Guru.I have sorted it. I played about with the apps window and found that PDF files were listed seperately to other adobe types in the list.
With a bit of trial and error, I discovered that by setting the download window to open and save file in c:users/user/downloads, along with setting PDF files to 'always ask' in the apps tab - it worked again.
Still don't know how it managed to change itself in the first place though! -
I am developing a recursive tree in a Web Dynpro App. My tree has some nodes and subnodes. Under the subnodes i have documents. Depending to the permission of the users should be decided what can the user do with the documents, for example, create, upate, delete and so on. I need to check the authorization of users. I want to follow the conzept like the Web Dynpro tutorial RentCar APP with Actions und Permissions. If a user logs on, i can get his UME role and group. My question is: if it is possible to list the permissions behind of one specific role, which is assigned to the user or a group.
In short I want to list the permissions and not only check if the user has it or not.
Please help me.
Regards
Hairong ZhaoHi Sudhir,
thank you very much for your quick answer. But it can't resolve our problem really.If we only use hasPermission() method to check if the user has right, the efford to check user in our case is too great .
I try to describe our problem exactly. In our case, thers is possible that tausend documents can be attached to a node. we can't create a permission for every document. We create for every node a role, but for document we haven't role. If we don't use the conzept with Actions and Permissions, how can we check the permission of the users, have you another idea?

Custom UME Role with action: Manage_All_User_Passwo
Hi all,
I have to create a custom role on EP. This role has to able a user to manage the password of all user (only password).
i created a custom UME role Reset_PWD and I add the following action
Manage_All_User_Password
I attribute this role to a user.
When I logon with this user I get an error: Page not found.
Any suggestion to solve my problem?
Thanks in advantage
EnzoHi Enzo,
The reason why you are getting this error is because you have assigned just the role and an action to it. There is no content attached to the role.
For this requirement, I am not sure if adding any existing iview will help or not.
Thanks,

Where are all the UME actions and UME roles stored?
Hi there,
I had a look at the SAP<SID>DB.UME* tables, it seems to me that they are not stored there.
What I wanted to achieve is to build a list of all user, user to role assignment, all UME actions, and role to action assignment so that we can do some analysis of the data.
Another related question is about the SPML based java API for user management in UME. It only allows you to list all the UME roles. What about the J2EE security roles? It seems to me that by using this API, you can not get a complete picture of user authorization, which includes both UME role and J2EE security role. Any comments?
Thanks in advance
GGHi,
I would suggest to use [UME Java API|http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/SPS09/se/com/sap/security/api/package-summary.html] instead of reading from the DB tables. You can get all users using methods of the class IUserFactory. The class IRoleFactory has method getRolesOfUser which gives you all roles for each user. Don't forget about roles assigned to user groups. Have a look also at package com.sap.security.api.acl. You should be able to get all ACL entries using [IAclManager|http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/SPS09/se/com/sap/security/api/acl/IAclManager.html]. Especially, check the code example. I've never done this but from reading javadocs it looks like it should be possible.
Have a look also at this [document|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711core/helpdata/en/a4/d39b3e09cdf313e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]. It describes the authorization concept of the AS Java.

Has anyone used the Extract Odd/Even Pages action for PDFs? I'm trying to use it to extract pages from a PDF and save as separate files. When I use it the action spins for a moment, says it succeeded, but I don't get any new files.
I know of the java script method, just wondering why it can't be found as standard wizard tool ;-)
I have a java script to extract pages.
Is it possible to somehow create a droplet for it (as is possible with preflight profiles)?
Thanks. -
CUP 5.3: Automated Provisioning for UME Roles
Hi,
Does CUP 5.3 provide automated provisioning for UME roles or just for R/3 roles?
Thanks in advance. Best regards,
ImanolIn order to use UME provisioning though, the WebAS must have Portal components installed (not necessarily used). The Portal RTA uses the Portal's SPML interface that is installed with portal components.
And please make sure to check the PAM - I think the Portal RTA only works for 7.00, if I'm not mistaken!

Is there anyway to create a watched/monitored folder for actions (similar to distillar for PDFs)
Is there any way to set up a watched folder in Photoshop to automatically batch run an action on any image that is dropped into that particular folder?
Similar to how distillar works for PDFs.
I have Creative Suite Web Premium 5.5 so if any of the other packages in the suite will do the job please let me know as I can't seem to find it.
A droplet won't do the job as although the processing will take place on my machine - the image may be dropped into the folder by a colleague elsewhere.
Thanks.According to the Applescript Users Group, Batch hasn't worked since at least CS4, that's why the error messages. Darn Adobe, they include it in their Scripting Guides.
This works, but depending on the action, you might get a dialog box that, again, Adobe in their stupidity have decided can't be turned off with scripting. This also renames duplicate files.

Tcodes & Roles for SAP GRC AC 5.3 SPM in R/3
Hello,
After installing part of the SAP GRC AC 5.3 SPM in the Tcode SAINT (R/3).
I want to know what Tcodes do I need to use the Tcode /VIRSA/VFAT.
Or what type of roles do I need. Is there some.
I have read the PDF "SAP Governance, Risk & Compliance Access Control 5.3 - 02 Post-Installation - SPM.pdf", and I have seen some roles. Are this the standard roles for the SPM in R/3?
Best Regards.
Pablo Mortera.Hi Pablo,
In 5.3 we can use the SPM by two different ways.
1. FFID based: In this you make a user as a FFID and then you use this FFID to perform all the actions.
User based roles are for the above.
3. Role based: In this you assign the roles(maintained in SPM) to the user.
Role based roles are for above.
The basic diffeence is in first one you use user (FFID) to perform the activities whereas in second you use role (which are maintained in SPM).
You can get more details of this in user guide and configuration guide.

Create UMe role to Maintain JCOu00B4s in SAP Netweaver
Hi to all,
We are running GRC AC 5.3 and we want to create a role just to maintain JCO´s
Can someone direct me to any documentation related to what Object (UME Actions) are necesary to create a Role just to enter the JCO section (In Web Dynpro Tools - > Content Adminsitrator)
Thx for your help.
DenisHi Denis,
The content admin role will give access to only content administration:
pcd:portal_content/administrator/content_admin/content_admin_role
However, if you wish to restrict the access to only JCO connection maintenance, check the assigned actions and create a new role with only those actions:
1. Search for the role pcd:portal_content/administrator/content_admin/content_admin_role
2. Click Modify
3. Click Assigned Actions
4. Search for the actions
5. Create a new role with the required actions.
Hope this answers.

PDF download worked in FFox3 but not in 4. Do I have to wait for a new plug in for PDF files?
I was downloading monthly statements from mutual fund firms. Firefox 4.0 worked fine with the T Rowe Price web site (they must not do anything tricky), but does not work with Fidelity. Firefox doesn't seem to recognize that what Fidelity is offering is really a PDF file. I tested the same action with my same computer and Safari as the browser which worked fine, and I tested the same action with my same computer and Firefox 3.6.16 and it, too, worked fine. Your help screen for PDF files suggest I download "Firefox PDF plugin extension" but when I get there, it says a version for FFox 4 is not available. I probably have that added to my 3.6.16 version and that's why it works there. So I guess I just have to use a different browser until that plugin is available. But it is another puzzle why TRowePrice makes it work with 4.0 and Fidelity doesn't.
Do you have a better suggestion than "just wait" ?I have never herd of Verizon adding an additional account especially since new account required both a credit check and your signature. Anyway this is a customer to customer forum so I'm not sure how you expect other customers to help you.
