Use of Role Distribute function in PFCG?

Hi Gurus,
We have a set of roles that will be of cross system nature. The simplest one is the security user admin, being the same across say BI dev, ECC dev, XI dev... etc.
To maintain the sync between systems on any updates to these roles, I tried to explore the distribute feature in PFCG, distributing the role to another system upon any update.
First thing I noticed, is, I can only mention one RFC, also I cannot maintain multiple entries in SSM_RFC for one variable. Hence, I can only push it to one client.
Second, it only pushes the text and menu information. It does not push the profile. Any tcode added to the menu, is pushed, but the underlying authorization is not. and on any push, we have to go to the target client to generate the role for consistency.
Can anybody tell me, where and why can this feature be used? Am trying to understand it
Thanks
Abhishek

Assign this role to the user in the solution manager client, and ola!

Hi Abishek,
that was the idea behind this feature. Users needed to log on only once to the Workplace system and could
execute transactions in the target systems without having to log on there explicitely.
As you mentioned, the technical preconditions (RFC-accessability) have to be set up seperately. Please be careful when allowing the systemaccess through (trusted) RFC for the users.

I can't use the distribute function in livecycle design?

I can't use the distribute function in livecycle design?
I have spent many hours designing this and the feature is not able to work it is greyed out.
I am using adobe XI (not pro). What am I doing wrong?

Hello,
Do you want to make the form editable?
If yes,
To make this you need to Reader Extend the form by following steps.
- Open the form in Acrobat Professional.
- Click on Advanced option and then on Enable usage rights…here you can select the various usage rights to be enabled.
- Save the file.
Now you can distribute this form and users can fill in save for their records, print.

Use of Role Attributes

Can anyone explain the use of the role attributes found in PFCG change under Utilities/Info Objects/Display Attributes.
I found 4 related tables: AGR_ATTS, AGR_FLAGS, AGR_FLAGSB, and AGR_LSD. How are these tables populated? Can additional attributes be added?

Hi Kathy,
An answer from SAP: for your requirements "sensitivity of the roles, SOX approval identifier, etc." the role attributes are not a good way to start. Especially for your requirements SAP has created a new business unit <a href="http://www.sap.com/solutions/grc/index.epx">Governance, Risk, and Compliance</a>.
The SAP Compliance Calibrator is ment to manage risks and controls in SAP systems. The standard functionality does not provide in depth functionality for this.
Without any extra tools I would suggest using the free text description field of the roles for the type of documentation that you want to do currently.
Best regards,
Christian

How to return fillable pdf form via distribute function in live cycle?

I am trying to have a fillable form be submitted back/returned by e-mail (through using outlook)to multiple users, via the distribute form function through livecycle, so that they know a pdf form has been completed and sent back and that I can place the information in the dataset as well (in case I need to export the info). Currently the distribute function only accepts it going to one e-mail, even if I seperate the e-mails with a ";". How do I have the form e-mail multiple users and allow me to place the form field data go into a dataset via distribution?

I tried it and I am seeing what you are seeing. If I send to a single user then it works fine. I think it might be outlook blocking the multi-address through programmatic interfaces. They do this so that viruses cannot turn your mail client into a spam generation. This is simply a guess.

Urgent - 'Distribute' Function is reffering to wrong planning area

Dear Consultants
I have problem with 'Distribute with Key' function.
I am using Actuals cube and Planning cube in my multiplanning area. I like to distribute planned quantity from material level to sales office level. No selections for planning area, year and verion at planning level or package.
In the Distribute function, I am using Sales Office characteristics as field to be changed and Planning Area,Year, Version characteristics as Fileds for condition. I am restricting the planning area to my planning data and year and version to planning year and version in the function.
While executing this function, it selects data records from the Actuals Cube, ignoring the values set in the function for planning area, year and version.
Please guide.
Best Regards
Shahid

Hello,
In case you don't want to work with your actuals cube for this function, I think you should select the area (and year, depending if you distribute on the same year or not...)in the planning level.
I think that (please somebody correct me if I'm wrong) the data that is taken into account by your function is what is selected in the level, then, the function runs for its own (sub)-selection.

In PP Interface related issues the role of functional consultant

In PP Interface related issues what is the role of functional consultant . what is the approach steps to analyse and resolve the issues in XI, interface, idoc, etc.,

For issues relating to interfaces, a functional person would need to diagnose what is causing the issue & thereby informing the technical person where to fix it, if the issue is due to system setup.
As regards to the steps, I just wish there was a manual which read something like
10 steps on how to analyze....
unfortunately there is none that I have come across or even if one is ever written on those lines will be very specific, so not much of use for your need. A good approach would be to have a clear understanding of what the interface is supposed to do, which would assist you in fixing the issues.

Role of Functional Consultant

Dear All,
I am SD consultant working since last 3 years now I got the CRM Project to implement.
Can any body please tell the role of function consultant while implementing CRM 2007?
I little confused that what is functional consultant responsibility and what is technical consultant responsibility
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Raj,
I understand your doubt!
Functional consultant is a broad term used for all functional people working on a project. You need to identify the area you are working on, hence would have different roles and responsibilities for the same.
The following threads can help you get direction towards resolving your query:

Using the "Plan Resources" functionality

Hi,
I'm after some help with using the top down resource and role planning functionality in EPPM 8.3
When you assign a resource or a role and mark it as committed, where else can I see this information other than the Planning Resources Project details tab in P6 Professional?
I would expect to be able to use this committed (or uncommitted) data for capacity planning, but it doesn't appear to come through into the Capacity planning section.
I've search the Oracle pages for documentation, but there is nothing in the standard documentation about how it should or can be used.
Can anybody help? Specifically the question in bold
Thanks

Also, when you look at this image, you'll see that Dan Sharpe has less availability in April and May. Why is that if it's not blocked out in his resource calendar?
I've summarized all the projects and here's a copy of his assignments when you open the assignments view in P6 Pro, so there's nothing beyond Sep 13

Benefits administration in ESS - EHP5 using NWBC roles

Hi all,
I'm trying to find out if the Benefits Administration functionality in ESS can be run without SAP EP, using NWBC roles in EHP5.
It seems that this ESS functionality has not been migrated yet to Webdynpro ABAP.
Can anyone confirm this?
Do you know of any alternative to using this functionality in this context (SAP ERP 6.0 EHP5 without SAP EP)?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Angel

Benefits functionality is not released under EhP5. The Benefits
functionality will be available under EhP6.
There is no alternative without SAP EP as it is tied to java role
Services available in Employee self-service (WDA) is listed here:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/en/cd/1c7eb674214a3b
8b62e6fe7f4bb0cf/frameset.htm
Employee Search
Who is who
Enrollment and related applications (Enrollment, Open enrollment,
Participation overview, Benefits participation)
Skills Profile and Matchup
Sample processes for "Life and work events"
In EhP5, ESS role contains applications developed on webdynpro
ABAP technology - ESS ABAP role.
In ECC 6.0, ESS role contains applications developed on webdynpro
Java technology - ESS Java role .
These are 2 different roles but both of them are supported by
SAP portal.
Benefits Participation Overview was part of ESS Java role which is
in ECC 6.0 but the participation overview application was not
added to ESS ABAP role in EhP5.
Hence, you won't see it in the ESS ABAP role which is in EhP5.
If you want to see the participation overview application you
need to assign the old ESS Java role. This means user would
have 2 ESS roles:
1) ESS Java Role(ECC 6.0).
2) ESS ABAP Role(EhP5).
Once you assign the old ESS Java role you would again see the
participation overview application under Benefits area page.

Difference between partner role & partner function

hi all
what is the differnce between partner role & partner function ?
Please elaborate with examples.
Kiran

Hi,
Partner function
Partner functions are terms that describe the people and organizations with whom you do business, and who are therefore involved in transactions. For example, when you create an activity, based on Customizing settings, it automatically includes the partner functions Activity Partner, Contact Person, and Person Responsible.
BP Roles
A business partner role is used to classify a business partner in business terms. The roles you assign to a business partner reflect the functions it has and the business transactions in which it is likely to be involved.

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

How to use Logical database in function module?

I will create a function module in HR.
but how to use Logical database in function module ? Logical database PNP always show screen.in function (RFC) code , it is a matter.

You cannot attach the LDB to the main program of the function group.
- So you may [SUBMIT|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=submit&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue] a report which use the LDB and get back the data (export/import), by default in the syntax of SUBMIT the selection-screen will not be displayed
- Use [LDB_PROCESS|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?query=ldb_process&cat=sdn_all], fill a structured table for selection, and get data back in another table

If we use DML statement in function then that function can be used inside s

if we use DML statement in function then that function can be used inside select query or any DML query?

select f from t2;I think you meant to query t1.
It works if the function is an autonomous transaction:
create or replace function f return number
is
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
begin
    update t1 set c=2;
    commit;
    return 1;
end;
select f from t1But as Billy said why would you want to do DML this way. And this is not the way autonomous procedures should be used either.
An an answer to an interview question though nothing wrong with it.
