User, Role, Profile Synchronization Job Fails

Hi Gurus,
When I am scheduling a job the User, Role, and Profile Sync. job fails giving an error
"Cannot assign a java.lang.String object of length 53 to host variable 5 which has JDBC type VARCHAR(40)."
This happens when the synchronization happens with a portal system. We dont have a ruleset for the portal system, So if I put in a "*", it includes this system and results in the error, If I manually select all other system, it works fine. Is there any way to remove this error so that I can schedule the jobs without having to select every system manually.
Regards,
Chinmaya

Hi,
As per my knowledge, in the Portal system, you should perform only user sync. Roles/profile sync will not work since portal will have workset roles.
Please refer SAP Note 1168120, which may help you to understand the limitations
Hope this helps!!

Trying to understand "User/Role/Profile Synchronization" and Batch Analysis

Hello,
Im trying to understand what exactly and from which tables these jobs are copying to which tables in CC. I have a understanding that these jobs are moving also deleted roles from backend. This is causing unnecessary delay to long lasting job.
I would appreasite if some one could explain the logic behind these jobs. What the fullsync and incremental is reading ? What kind of changes are causing a role/user/profile to be included to the full and incremental jobs?
How the incremental analysis logic is built ?
br Janne

Janne,
In my current implementation we are going for an offline risk analysis due to the heteregoneus system landscape of our client (several SAP and non SAP systems and several SAP systems under 4.6C). Eventhough within our approach we don't perfrom the backend synchronization (we use CC data extractor to pull data from backend into CC) hope the following info could hel you:
The tables such jobs you mention access to, are all the SAP backend system tables related with users, roles, profiles, action and permissions. If you check the data mapping appendix of the "user and configuration guide for 5.2" you will see all the data that CC retrieves. For instance, in order to extract user info (UserID, FName, LName, Email, Phone, Email, Department) tables USR21, USR02, ADRP, ADR6 and ADCP must be accessed.
In terms of CC tables:
VIRSA_CC_SYSUSR >> UserIDs and Systems ID relationship
VIRSA_CC_GENOBJ >> User, Role and Profile master data
VIRSA_CC_GENACT >> User-action, role-action and profile-action data
VIRSA_CC_GENPRM >> User-permission, role-permission and profile-permission
VIRSA_CC_SAPOBJ >> Action-permission
VIRSA_CC_OBJTEXT >> Objects descripcions (ACT, PRM, FLD, VAL, ORG)
Hope this helps.

RAR: Best strategy for users/roles/profiles synchronization

Hi all,
Assuming that:
1) we will be never interested about profiles risk analysis (just users and roles)
2) roles risk analysis will be run first and after sometime (threee weeks) we will run it for users.
and we will run batch risks analysis:
Question 1) Is it possible to synchronize just roles and do it for users just when we want to execute risk analysis for them? Or is a best practice to synchronize always for users/roles and profiles eventhough risk analysis will not be done for all three?
Question 2) If we execute just full sync and full risk analysis, users/roles or profiles deleted in backend between executions are also deleted from DB? or removal takes place only when executing incremental sync?
Many thanks in advance. Best regards,
Imanol

Hi Imanol,
Answer Q1: Yes, you can just select user and roles for the snych and risk analysis. Go to configuration-background jobs - shedule job. If you don't run risk analysis for profiles, you shouldn't sync and select them.
Answer Q2: Both, the Full risk analysis will alwaly update your DB. I will recommend you, to do this job in some periodic times. The incremental sync job will as well update your DB, if anything changed in the backend system. Normally your are going to run your daily or weekly jobs with this selection.
Thanks,
Martin

User, Role, Profile Synchronization - Full sync job

I've scheduled this job and it's been running since feb 2. I understand that this job brings only the header data into CC tables. When I look at the CC log file.- It says Delete user XXXX from all tables. I checked the userid in the backend system it actually does not exist.

Compliance Calibrator 5.2 user/role/profile sync

I have run into an issue with a user. Where the user is getting flagged as having risks associated in basis for having a combination of transactions. Under CC it is saying that she has S_Develop Auth Obj with Activity 1 and 2. However when we check the user in R3 all of her profiles and roles that have a Basis associated and have the auth object she has activity 3. So the information is not synchornizing properly.
Thanks for any help

when was the last time you ran a user/role/profile synchronization or a batch risk analysis for this user ?

Critical Action and Role/Profile Analysis job in not running in GRC 5.3

Hi Team,
I am working for a client where GRC 5.3 is installed( support pack 4 and patch 1).
The installation is complete and also the post processing is done.
We have scheduled a periodic ( weekly ) incremental background job for Critical Action and Role/Profile.
Following are the parameter setting used:
Task: Risk Analysis -Batch
Batch Mode : Incremental
First time it run successfully on 28th June'09 and it is completed with spool also. But next time it is supposed to run on 4th of July'09 . But it does not. And since then it is in same state.
I am not able to find any reason that why it is behaving this way where other incremental jobs are running successfully.
It will be helpfull if any one can guide me providing the solution.
Regards,
Kakali

Hi Varun,
I go to the Job History Button. It shows the following data only :
2009-06-28 00:00:59 Done Job Completed successfully
2009-06-27 23:45:00 Started RAR_PE1CLNT100_Critical Action and Role/Profile Analysis started :threadid: 0
Under the Last Run Colomn it shows 28th June ( Status -completed)
Under Next Run Date it is showing 4th July
Follwoing are the list of Updates available From SP05
When executing the critical roles/profile jobs in background, a message
"error while executing the Job: null" comes up. ---( this one is for which come under Informer Tab)
Background job spools are not available after upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3.
Critical action and critical role/profile analysis cannot be run in
background by system. --- ( But in my case It ran for once )
Selection parameters (System, User and User Group) have been provided for
"Critical Action and Role/Profile Analysis" in Configuration->Background
Job->Schedule Job. --- ( it means it run usually)
Critical Actions report in detail view shows no results after executing the
Risk Analysis Job in the background. The same report shows data when
executed in the foreground. ( this one is for which come under Informer Tab )
When there is only one periodic job configured in RAR, this job fails to
start after the first time in the specified time. ( this is not true, becoz there other periodic jobs running successfuly)
Unable to run Informer - audit reports - critical role and profiles with
logical systems. ( this is again under Informer Tab )
I had gone through this earlier also, but not able to match any update with my problem. If if have any other suggestion you can provide me the same.
Is there any way to check for job log so that I can check what is the problem. View Log option is also greyed out as we have sap logger set up as a default logger Parameter. I have made it enable just to check but there is nothing.
Please Guide.

Peggy,
I have seen this kind of error more than a year back. May be the role name contains special character or somewhere in the role table there is a space or something. I will recommend you to open a message with SAP.

Copy user roles/profiles : Su01

Hello,
I want to copy user roles /privileges from one user to other?
how do we do this and which user can do this ? my pisuper does not seem to have authority to copy user profiles from one user to other?
Thanks

Try to Copy the user(Src user to Target user) from SU01 by logging in your user. When it displays authorization error, open a new Session of SU53. It will tell you the missing authorization objects. Add those authorizations to your user & you will be able to copy Users using ur userid.
If you want to keep it simple.. Give yourselves SAP_All. You can do whatever you want.

XIUSER - Service users role/profile at R/3 system

All,
Currently, we have the following scenarios
1) IDoc to XI to 3rd Party System
2) 3rd Party System to XI to R/3 RFC
3) R/3 RFC to XI to 3rd Party System
These scenarios are working using service user XIUSER with SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW access at R/3.
I would like to know the Roles needs to process the above scenarios.
Thanks,
Peter

hi Peter,
>>>>2) 3rd Party System to XI to R/3 RFC
it depends what does your RFC do
if you're posting MM transaction then you'll need MM roles if SD then SD, etc
>>>>1) IDoc to XI to 3rd Party System

Cannot see BEx Query in user role profile in BEx query designer

I assigned several BEx query objects into user profile menu via t-code PFCG first.
Then expected - when I need and open them in BEx query designer I could find them after clicking "Role" button in "Open" window. But unfortuantely I'm not able to do that.
Do I miss anything to archive that? Is other customizing activity else neccessary?
Thank you for any suggestion.

Hi Brad.Ma,
If you can open query from Area "button", after that, you publish it to roles you want assign.
You try generate Authoriation in Role in Tcode PFCG.
Hope help you to solve the problem.
