Uploading Roles from ECC 6.0 to SCM 5.1 (APO)

Hi,
We are trying to re-use some roles created in SAP ECC 6.0 in order to be used in a APO(SAP SCM 5.10) system.
We downloaded and uploaded the roles to the target system, although we do not identify any problem in doing that I will like ask the experts if there is something that I should do or not, and if there is something that we have to take into account in doing this.
The roles are only for some activities that are the same in both systems like user administration, authorization administration and other technical stuff that is the same in both systems.
Our goal of course is that every time that we make changes in the source system we will download and upload in order to keep updated the target system.
I would like appreciate your opinion
Best Regards

Well, there could be a difference in objects, customizing switches and patchlevels which could lead to unwanted (and sometimes almost invisble) problems. If there are objects in the roles that do not exist in the target system (or if they're linked to a non-existent object class) you will not be able to see or maintain them in PFCG.
This will also cause problems when transporting these roles through the target landscape.
So I'd suggest you thoroughly compare TOBJ on both systems and make sure these tables are identical for the objects concerned. That should cover technical issues. After that make sure the systems behave the same (customizing etc).

Error while uploading roles from quality to production

Dear friends,
I have to upload roles from quality to production.
I have downloaded it from qualtiy but while uploading to production it is giving me an error "File does not contain valid data".
Can anybody tell me what could be the problem and how to resolve it.
Thanks in advance
regards
Nirgun

HI matore,
the best way is to transport the roles from DEV to QA and then to production as julius suggested
are you trying for mass down load are single role
Mass download
go to PFCG >> utilities>> Mass download>> select all the roles which you want to move it to production
and execute save it on desktop
now go to production system>> go to PFCG>>in menu click on roles>>click on upload>>select the file which is saved in desktop and click ok
mass generation of roles
in the menu click on utilities>>mass generation>>give the role names with you have uploaded and click on execute select all click on genetate button
download a single role
go to PFCG>>in the menu click on role>>click on down load and save it on desktop
now go to production system>> go to PFCG>>in menu click on roles>>click on upload>>select the file and click ok
now you needs to manully generate the role
do the user comparison
hope this helps
thanks

Can u upload Roles from 4.6C to ECC 6.0

Hi all,
1. Can we upload some roles from 4.6C system to an ECC 6.0 system? Will it accept and work properly?

Same as for the download, PFCG. Do mind the character set ('parameter' pulldown menu at the bottom of file save/open dialog box), they have to be the same on both sides.

Implications of uploading roles from SAP 4.7 to SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 5?

HI Gurus,
Please tell what would be the cons for uploading the roles from SAP 4.7 to ECC6.0 EHP5.
Would there be issues in doing the same?
Regards,
Sonu

Hi Sonu,
There me be changes in authorization object assignment for the roles. Some objects may be deleted and new objects may be addedd to the transactions.
Instead of uploading you can better get the list of transactions for every role and create them newly in ECC 6 EHP 5 system and maintain them according to the old roles.
Thanks,
Kranthi

Automatic upload of roles from ECC to portal (UME with LDAP)

Hi experts,
This thread reopen the question asked on the following message : automatic upload of roles from BI to portal
However, it concerns this time "UME with LDAP".
Problematic :
SAP Library 04s tells us that is not yet possible to automate role replication (or role assigment replication) from ABAP Based back-end to Netweaver Portal. Only manual process for initial upload is possible.
Source = http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/41/5e4d40ecf00272e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Questions :
1 - Did anyone ever try to implement such an automatic tool ?
2 - What if I'm not able to write on the Active Directory ? I am still able, at least, to automate role assignment replication from ABAP Based back-end to Netweaver Portal (ie. UME with LDAP) ? Directly from SAP R/3 to EP through UME, without passing through Active Directory since the group field is not maintained in AD.
Many thanks for your inputs
Alexis MARTIN

Hello,
As I did not read the previous thread I don't know what exactly you are trying to achieve, but I can tell you about what we have done - as far as it is not too late yet.
We use the portal with integration to a BI system. In the ABAP stack we have lots of roles with menu items for hundreds of reports. We want the users to see these roles in the portal.
First we have used the role migration tool of the portal to upload these roles. There is a Java API for executing role uploads from code. You need to create a webservice in the java stack to call this api, and can call the webservice from ABAP.
However it is just a question of time and role size until this will not work at all. Standard role migration is more or less crap, stability is a problem. It also creates a lot of logs in the PCD and thus fills the database with trash. (After a few OSS messages there is now a program for deleting logs + you can turn of logging.) Also upload of larger roles takes up to an hour, and you alwasy have the problem that your portal roles are not up to date during the day.
When I got completely fed up, I have implemented an own navigation connector. When you log on to the portal it will connect to the ABAP stack via RFC, load the role, and generate the portal menu from it. It uses caching, but on every logon it checks whether the role has been updated in ABAP since the last time it was loaded. It is up to date, faster then PCD navigation, and you need absoluetely no periodical synching at all. I cant even understand why this is not offered by SAP per standard!
Drawback is that it will of course only work for the menu items, and only menu items with an "URL-type" are supported. I'm prettry sure however that it would be possible to implement a few other types as well.
Let me know if you are interested in the solution, I can give you a few additional details: oliverDOTsvisztATwienerbergerDOTcom

Importing master role from ECC into portal throws derived role exception

Hello,
While uploading master and derived role from backend system into the portal I am getting the following exception.
com.sap.portal.pcd.rolemigration.RoleMigrationException: Nested Exception. Failure to execute native function. Nested Exception. ROLE_IS_DERIVED
Does it imply that the derived role is already imported with the import of master role and there is no need to explicitly import the derived role?
The landscape uses role upload tool of portal for UME.
Regards
Pooja

Hi Pooja,
There is a limitation with the role upload tool that the derived roles cannot be uploaded.
The migration is only able to upload roles which have their own menus. Derived R/3 roles does not have menus themselves as they derive them from other roles. The purpose of the migration is to bring the R/3 navigation structures into the portal. Therefore you can only migrate the role from which your role is derived.

Anja

IView Template used when uploading role from R/3 to Portal

Hi all,
I was wondering what iView template is used when you upload a role from R/3 that contains Web Dynpro ABAP applications. I want to change some of the default parameters in the template, more importantly, close the Detailed Navigation panel on the left.
Hope this makes sense,
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
From your explanation, it seems you can see the iViews in Portal role editor under Content Administration.
Under Content Administration
Open the Role for Editing
In the Editor, select the iview and Click on OPEN button.
Now, you should be able to see the properties of the iView in the Editor.
Please check for the property "Code link", which give you the details of the class or template in use.
Hope, this will help
Cheers!!!

Gui Type when upload role from SAP R/3

Hi.
We execute Role Upload function in EP 60.
It take R/3 Role and create role, transaction iview in EP.
My problem is when Role Upload function create transaction iview, They set Gui Type = WebGUI.
We just use WinGUI.
Is there any config for this ?
Regards, Arnold.

Although this question is rather old now I'll leave an answer for anyone that may be having similar problems.
After using the role upload tool use multiple property replacement on the uploaded iViews.
property id: SAP_GuiType
new value : WinGui

How to programmatically upload roles to Portals.

How can we programmatically upload roles from CUA to Portal. Are there any BAPI's or any other methods that we can use to accomplish this. We currently have a program that runs as a job every night to create users and assigns them roles in R/3, EBP and WP systems and we would it to do the same thing for portals.
Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Marek,
Thank you very much for your guidance. We are still stuck, we checked the configuration and it's set to SAP system but we don't see any R/3 roles in portals. Can you give us a little more details on:
1). Are there any specific entries in dataSourceConfiguration_r3_roles_db.xml file that would need to be changed?
2). Do we have to create roles in R/3 any differently in order for them to appear as groups in portal? Should these roles be created in ABAP side of Portal client or in R/3 client. Also, Where do these roles appear as groups in portal(path to get to those groups).
Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Regards

SRM 7.0 Central Contracts Migration from ECC existing contracts

Hi colleagues
We are facing the implementation of SRM 7.0 in a client who has ECC installed and we have a doubt with contract migration
We are considering using SRM Central Contracts in order to get them replicated on ECC
All the contracts "alive" that exist in ECC should be created on SRM as central Contracts. The problem is that when you create a SRM central contract the system will replicate it to ECC ... in that case we will have the same contract twice on ECC
Does anybody face this situation?
I figure out that if at the moment we are creating SRM central contracts we turn off XI/PI the system would not replicate the contract to ECC but I think it would return an error without creating the contract on SRM... and even if we managed to create the central contracts in SRM without replicating them to ECC we would have the problem that both contracts wouldn´t be linked
We can´t consider the solution to be creating those contracts on SRM as SRM local contracts because we need to follow contract cicle in SRM after migration
Could anybody help me out with these?
Thanks
Regards

Hello,
You can upload contracts from ECC to SRM using report BBP_CONTRACT_INITIAL_UPLOAD in SRM.
If you want take care of document type mappings/ Condition type mappings, use badi BBP_CTR_INIT_UP in SRM.
Thanks,
Sushil.

Run-time reading of roles from backend system

EP5 unification provided the ability of displaying an end-user's backend system roles in the iPanel. This did not require importing the backend role to EP5. This greatly reduces the maintenance of roles in EP (especially with BW!

Hi Daniel,
You have a possibility to upload the whole Role from R/3 to EP6 Portal. You do it the following way:
Create system in Portal for your R/3.
Navigation to System Administration->Transport->Role Upload. Select system that you wish to upload Role from, search for your role.
That's it!
All objects in uploaded role become iViews.

Master/Transaction data from ECC to APO-BW

Hi All,
     Normally we come across scenarios where Master/Transaction data is pulled from ECC to BW and then pulled into APO-BW. What are the pros and cons of CIF (direct connection between ECC and APo-BW) rather than pulling data from ECC to stand-alone BW and then into APO-BW?
Regards,
Joy

Hi Santhana,
If you want to add data of ECC to APO BW & Then in to DP, then follow the following Steps.
1. Create Generic Data Source in ECC for thet Sales Order table.
2. Replicate that data Source in to APO BW with Source System.
3. Create whole data flow process by using created Data Source.
    Data Flow Process: 1. Info Package
                                  2. Info Source
                                  3. Info Cube
                                  4. Transformation between DS & IS, Then IS & IC
                                  5. Data Transfer Process.
4. Load data from ECC to APO BW
5. Use transaction /n/sapapo/tscube, for copy Info Cube data to Planning Area.
Hope this will help you.

Sujay
