Understanding ERM and CUP integration in AC 10.0

Iu2019m reaching out in hopes to get a better understanding of how AC 10.0 is meant to handle the ERM and CUP integration (Iu2019m still stuck on the old names :).  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Currently, we have a requirement to setup the GRC Production box so it can provision user access in the Production ECC but create security roles in Development ECC.  This is typically what we see since most clients want to follow their manual transport process to get the security roles from Dev --> QA --> Prod.
Something I noticed in CUP is when a user adds a role to the request form u2013 the role is associated to a system (i.e. Production ECC or Development ECC).  If we create a role using ERM and it only gets generated in Development ECC u2013 will we be able to select this role in CUP for user assignment in Production ECC? (assuming itu2019s been transported outside of GRC)
Note: At this point the new role will only be associated to Development ECC from a GRC perspective?  So if we assign it in CUP u2013 it will only be associated to Development ECC...?
Do we have to manually perform another u201Crole import / syncu201D from the Production ECC to sync the roles so theyu2019re available in CUP?
This is based on the understanding that CUP looks for available roles for assignment from ERM rather than the Production ECC.  Is that correct?  Can we have CUP look in the backend rather than ERM?
My question is around the manual u201Crole import / syncu201D that needs to get performed for CUP.  Is this really mandatory based on the requirements?  It would mean I need to perform a u201Crole import / syncu201D every time a new role is created/deleted/changedu2026  Maybe Iu2019m missing something with the new 10.0 integration / functionality?  Are other companies doing something different?
Please let me know what you think.  Your insight is greatly appreciated!

Frank,
Thanks for clarifying.
Can you clarify what you mean when you say "you just need to tell CUP that the roles are available in PRD"? What does this mean?
This goes back to the original question - do we need to perform another import of the roles from ECC PRD to ERM? My understanding is that the ERM role repository is looking at my original import of roles and then each role I create using ERM after that. How will it know which roles are in PRD if I don't do a routine synch?
Also, you mentioned "each role has attributes that define in which systems it should be available for requests", where does this get defined? I believe you are referring to the "Role Status" which is set to Development, Production or Testing. I only see the ability to set this during the Role Import, but what about roles which have been created using ERM. I don't see it in the Role details screen - where is the setting?

  • Business Process and sub Process IN ERM and CUP

    Hi Friends,
    We are in intial stage of GRC implimentation. Now I am uploading the roles into ERM and CUP. I have defined business processes and sub processes for the roles and upload the roles successfully in ERM. But when I am doing the same excercise in CUP especially during creation of sub process it is not allowing the charecter "-" in the name space.
    E.g. Business process name is EHS-SM (Uploaded to CUP)
           Sub process name is EHS-SM1.1 (not allowing to create in CUP wher as successfully created in ERM)
    My question is
    1. why it allows me to do the same thing in ERM but not in CUP.
    2. Is there any way to maintain the name with chaecter "-".
    For your information I am in the phase of defining the attributes for the roles.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi all,
    I will have a hard time ahead with  BP and SBP. all are in the same format. I dont think my company will agree to change the name of there BP  or SBP because they are thousands in count and also there is no other way around in GRC,
    Let give me a try...
    Thanks Guys for your support and time.

  • ERM - Workflow Approval Configuration in ERM and CUP

    Hi Experts,
    I'm in the midst of configuring the workflow approval for ERM and have some queries.
    I followed the post-installation guide part 1 for ERM on the workflow configuration and have sucessfully done the following:
    1. Verified that the "AE_init_append_data_RE.xml" has been uploaded in CUP with Append option
    2. Verified that request type "RE_ROLE_APPROVAL" with workflow type "RE" exists
    3. Verified that priority "RE_HIGH" with workflow type "RE" exists
    4. Created a workflow initiator for ERM called "ROLE_APPROVAL" in CUP -> Configuration -> Workflow -> Initiator (with the said details as per the post-installation guide)
    5. Created a CAD called "ERM_ROLE_APPROVER" for ERM in CUP -> Configuration -> Workflow -> Custom Approver Determinator (with the said details as per the post installation guide, filling in the necessary URI, uname/pw for admin with UME roles)
    6. Created TWO stages , one stage for the role owner called "ERM_ROLE_APPROV", and one stage for the internal control owner called "ERM_ROLE_APPRO2", both with workflow type "RE" and Approver Determinator "ERM_ROLE_APPROVER" which was created in step 5 earlier.
    7. Created a path for ERM Role Approval Workflow in CUP -> Configuration -> Workflow -> Path, with workflow type "RE", Number of Stages "2", Initiator "ROLE_APPROVER", Active "checked" and I put Stage 1 as "ERM_ROLE_APPROV" and stage 2 as "ERM_ROLE_APPRO2".
    8. Configured the Exit Web Service (followed the details as per the post-installation guide for ERM)
    As my role approval is pretty straight forward (i.e. based on business process attribute defined, with each role owner being responsible for their business process), I did the following:
    1. Create approval criteria "Role Approver for Business Process FI"
    2. For that criteria, I based it on attribute "Business Process"
    3. I clicked on "Assign Approvers" to define who is the approver (i.e. the respective role owner responsible for Process FI)
    4. I defined the condition for this criteria, Condition = AND, Attribute = Business Process, Value = FI
    My queries:
    1. Is the approval criteria which I created in ERM, referring to 1st stage or 2nd stage of the path in CUP?
    2. I'm assuming that for query 1, the approval criteria which I created is for 1st stage (i.e. ERM_ROLE_APPROV), where can I configure the 2nd level approval for the internal control owner (i.e. ERM_ROLE_APPRO2, in the path which I defined in CUP)?
    Thanks!

    Hi Baldwin,
    All workflow paths in CUP are triggered by an Initiator.  Once the request from ERM meets "Initiator" ("ROLE_APPROVAL") requirements in CUP, the request will go to the first stage defined in the respective path. Approvers defined in each stage of the path can approve request. Once the request is approved in CUP, approval information will be sent to ERM and then the role in ERM will be moved to the next stage.
    Best Regards,
    Sirish Gullapalli.

  • ERM and RAR integration

    Dear experts,
    We would like to know if during risk analysis WebService call from ERM to RAR there is any access to backend (R/3) system, or everything is handled in Java side.
    Kind regards.

    Hi,
      As far as I know, the risk analysis from ERM should be handled in Java side as all the necessary/required data exists in ERM and RAR.

  • CAD and CUPS integration query

    I have customer integrating CAD (on UCCE 8.5) to CUPS (8.5).
    The CUPS infrastructure is being built to log IM chats.
    A question has been raised on whether or not CAD's IM chats would be logged?
    I'm told it may depend on whether CAD uses XMPP, or SIP/SIMPLE to integrate to CUPS,
    but that question aside, would CAD's chat be logged?

    Hi
    I will try to answer theoretically since I don't have this deployment in the lab nor have I tested the CAD integration.
    As per SRND the IM storage is supported on both CUPC 7.x and 8.x clients. That means that both protocols are supported ie SIP/SIMPLE and XMPP
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/srnd/8x/presence.html#wp1185603
    By default all inbound messages to those clients that pass through CUP server will be stored in the external postgres db (you can also enable outbound IM to be stored but anyway)
    So based on the above I would say that yes they should be recorded if the messages pass through CUP server (and I think they do)

  • CAD login failure with CUPS integration

    OK so here we go,
    UCCX System version: 8.5.1.10000-37
    Cucm System version: 8.6.2.20000-2
    CUPS System version: 8.6.4.11900-1
    So we've integrated UCCX desktop with CUPs fine, CAD user goes to login gets error asking for Presence creds.
    CUPS and CUCM are Ldap authenticated integrated.
    I've manually tested logging users into Jabber desktop and Cups user (web login) and both login fine with the same ldap user ( CAD uses this login too)
    If I click cancel on CAD login agent logs in fine to CAD, however if I try login to chat gets rejected even though creds are the same.
    Have manually input creds into CAD when prompted for Presence login (still gets rejected)
    Weird how creds work for Jabber but not getting passed through, have restarted all servers in cluster.
    Any input welcome.
    Thanks in advance,
    Liam

    Hi Liam
    This is a particularly poorly implemented feature.
    Basically pre 9.0 I think it doesn't do any authentication to CUPS. What you need is an entry in the 'Incoming ACL' (in the system/security/incoming acl menu I think) for the IP address of each PC that will use this feature. My understanding is this basically bypasses authentication.
    In 9.0(2) that i upgraded to this week, it supports digest auth. The description from the admin guide is that you must set the digest creds on the CUCM end user to match the user's login password. Well... that's just great security isn't it? 'Please may I have your AD password so I can add a feature to your CAD? Oh, and tell me every time you change it so I can update it'....
    There are also a host of bugs I found - you can't search for contacts in Web CDA to add them to contact lists in larger ADs, it doesn't seem to show the status of any internal or external contacts properly, and upgrading to 9.0(2) only made it slightly better.
    I get the feeling not many people have used this, or there wouldn't be so many issues...

  • Jabber and webex integration

    Hello everyone,
    We're trying to integrate meeting place and webex with our presence service to allow Jabber and CUP users to use all of the available features we have.
    We're having some issues to get webex up and running because we're getting a "The WebEx meeting account is invalid" message everytime we try to access from jabber.
    If I go to meeting center I can successfully log in using the same credentials I'm using on jabber so I don't understand why it says the account is invalid.
    This issue happens for all of the users. Have anyone seen this behaviour already?
    Thanks!!

    We use Meeting Center rather than Meeting Place but I think the authentication is similar. The problem I had was since we use Meeting Center (cloud WebEx) and do not use SSO the accounts are different. Once the Not Set "Source for Web Conferencing" was configured, I was able to goto the client (Mac Jabber 8.6.2 in this case) and enter my credentials in Preferences -> Accounts -> Meetings

  • PS and PP integration

    Dear Experts,
    Good Morning....
    Please suggest me PS and PP integration customization steps.
    Regards
    Lallan

    PP is not a major player in PS as far as integration is concerned. It is through Material Management that Production Planning is informed of Production Orders using special settings in the Material Master.
    One another area, the PP and PM modules share Work Centers with Project System.
    The Work Center is needed for Capacity Planning and Planning costs. If we integrate this Work Center with HR module, we will be able to select only the people who have been assigned to the Work Center. We can specify the amount of work the individual will contribute. This forms the basis for capacity planning.
    Hope u must have understand.
    PS - Process
    After creating the project next step is u want to do cost, Revenue & Budget Planning for the project
    in the t-codes CJ42, CJ30 & CJ40 respectively. Next step is creating the Sale order in va01 T-code.
    But I have internal project scenario, example: Overhauling of DG set. Assigned work enter & Workforce & also material to network. So shall I do costing? As explained! Is it necessary to create of Sales Order?
    CMP2 - Assign workforce to activities
    CAT2 - Transfer actual time to CATS. In CAT2 we have record the actual timing correct for an activity, on day basis & with personal number.

  • Brief discussion on SAP XI and its' Integration with SAP MDM.

    Hi,
    I have never worked on SAP XI.
    I am discussing it on brief, please give your valuable replies.
    SAP XI consists of System Landascape Directory(SLD).
    SLD Consists of Business System and Techinical System.
    Technical System contains all information about the software
    component. The Business System consists of Inbound and Outbound Business
    System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
    There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
    is signed between Sender and Receiver.
    Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
    with the Business System,
    Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
    with the Business System.
    In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
    Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
    Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
    Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
    FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
    RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
    Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
    Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
    The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
    and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
    Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
    Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
    SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
    Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
    and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
    In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
    Step 1: Create busines system as service.
    Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
    through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
    Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
    Step 4: Interface determination:
    - Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
    there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
    - To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
    into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
    for the customized ID mapping.
    Receiver determination.
    Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
    Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
    remote systems(s).
    Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
    This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.

    Kaushik Banerjee

    Hi Kaushik,
    You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
    1. MDMGX -
             - For lookup table extraction
             - Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
              - FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
    2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
              - For Main table records.
              - Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
    Just a basic understanding...

  • Test/Trial project on MDM and XI integration.

    Test/Trial project on MDM and XI integration.
    I want to try out a test case scenario where in i would be importing and exporting data to XI (Using XML files i guess)
    I am a newbie in MDM integration.
    Please help me out with my trial project.
    What i already have:
    I have MDM system and repository on which i have been learning basic MDM designing a (test)repository of my own.
    What information i need:
    -What all system requirements (XI system configuration and all) are needed to established. (What all should i be asking the XI and the system admin guys to be able to get the platform ready for me.*
    *-The further procedure for actual integration to be done for importing/exporting data as in a real time project scenario

    Hi Gaurav,
    SInce you want to try a test scenario including MDM and XI, I would suggest you to try
    ECC -> XI->MDM scenario
    Wherein you can take the data from ECC in the form of IDOCs and convert them into XML.
    You can then import the XML into an MDM repository. MDM repository can be a Customer, Material, Vendor etc repository. Hence extract the similar data from ECC.
    Kindly follow the steps below:
    1) Firstly you will have to extrcat the look-up table data from R3 using MDMGX transaction-
    Please follow this link to know about the same:

    2) For loading the main Table Data into MDM, kindly follow the link below, which will guide you to the config/prcoess that will be required for the data to be uploaded from R3 into MDM.
    2.1) R/3-XI-MDM (Outbound Scenario)
    You will have to extract the data from R3 in the form of IDOCS and then using XI, you will have to convert them into XML format as MDM understands that.
    2.2) For the process of Data from MDM back to R3, kindly refer this link below:
    MDM-XI-R/3  Integration
    2.3) For general info about this scenario, kindly refer this link below:

  • ERM To CUP Role Import

    Hello all,
    I am wondering, has anyone one out there had any issues when importing ERM roles into CUP. Currently I have found that if you add functional area to the role in ERM (and it's the exact same functional area in CUP) it will not upload into CUP.
    We are on SP12
    Any ideas why?
    Kyle

    Alpesh,
    SP11 is only in our development system and you cannot look into certain functionality before you get in installed, except to look over current SAP Notes, SAP SP Release Notes and SAP SDN Forum posts for any current issues.
    We are moving from SP8.1 to SP11 since it will solve 12 open SAP Msgs for our SAP GRC-AC system. It has solved 90% of those and has been performing well in tests so far.
    We have sent this issue to SAP Support and it is a new issue that has not been reported before.

    Have you applied any patches to 9ias since it was first installed? We had the same problem and had to apply a couple of patches to get the portlets working.
    1. Apply the 9.0.2.53.16 one-off patch for Oracle 9iAS Discoverer which takes Discoverer up to 9.0.2.53.16. This patch appears to be password protected and you need to get someone at Oracle support to give you a password.
    2. Apply the Discoverer Portlet Provider: 9.0.2.53.00c patch (patch no. 2595444) which gives you a new discportal.xsl file that actually works. It's this second step that solves your problem but you need to do step 1 before this. This is password protected as well.
    3. As you've upgraded Disco on the server to 9.0.2.53, you'll need to upgrade Disco Admin & Desktop within your 9iDS installation using patch no. 2555265. This is because Disco 9.0.2.53 uses an upgraded EUL that Disco Admin & Desktop need to be patched to use.
    This was the course of action Oracle support advised us about nine months ago. Of course they may have released a further patch to Disco that does 1 & 2 in one go, but we regularly carry out steps 1 and 2 on servers we use and we can use the Disco portlets successfully.
    Hope this helps
