Using a hierarchy in BW security

Hi,
I am working on helping out the BW security. I am totally confused about using a hierarhy for this purpose to check the sales office and sales group level. I was asked to write an ABAP program to read a table values and write to a flat file and then upload to BW as an hierarchy.
has anyone worked with security in sales and can shed some light in the purpose of using hierarchy for checking authorizations. I read some presentations and it mentioned something about using hierarchy as part of the security checks.
Thanks
Will

hi Will,
no standard authorization object for reporting, we need to create our own,
- RSD1, set 'authorization' relevant for infoobjects
- RSSM, create reporting authorization object, assign with infoobject.
check for infoproviders
- PFCG, create role and assign with values and users.
for hierarchy, have you seen this doc ?

Using container managed form-based security in JSF

h1. Using container managed, form-based security in a JSF web app.
A Practical Solution
h2. {color:#993300}*But first, some background on the problem*{color}
The Form components available in JSF will not let you specify the target action, everything is a post-back. When using container security, however, you have to specifically submit to the magic action j_security_check to trigger authentication. This means that the only way to do this in a JSF page is to use an HTML form tag enclosed in verbatim tags. This has the side effect that the post is not handled by JSF at all meaning you can't take advantage of normal JSF functionality such as validators, plus you have a horrible chimera of a page containing both markup and components. This screws up things like skinning. ([credit to Duncan Mills in this 2 years old article|http://groundside.com/blog/DuncanMills.php?title=j2ee_security_a_jsf_based_login_form&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1]).
In this solution, I will use a pure JSF page as the login page that the end user interacts with. This page will simply gather the input for the username and password and pass that on to a plain old jsp proxy to do the actual submit. This will avoid the whole problem of having to use verbatim tags or a mixture of JSF and JSP in the user view.
h2. {color:#993300}*Step 1: Configure the Security Realm in the Web App Container*{color}
What is a container? A container is basically a security framework that is implemented directly by whatever app server you are running, in my case Glassfish v2ur2 that comes with Netbeans 6.1. Your container can have multiple security realms. Each realm manages a definition of the security "*principles*" that are defined to interact with your application. A security principle is basically just a user of the system that is defined by three fields:
- Username
- Group
- Password
The security realm can be set up to authenticate using a simple file, or through JDBC, or LDAP, and more. In my case, I am using a "file" based realm. The users are statically defined directly through the app server interface. Here's how to do it (on Glassfish):
1. Start up your app server and log into the admin interface (http://localhost:4848)
2. Drill down into Configuration > Security > Realms.
3. Here you will see the default realms defined on the server. Drill down into the file realm.
4. There is no need to change any of the default settings. Click the Manage Users button.
5. Create a new user by entering username/password.
Note: If you enter a group name then you will be able to define permissions based on group in your app, which is much more usefull in a real app.
I entered a group named "Users" since my app will only have one set of permissions and all users should be authenticated and treated the same.
That way I will be able to set permissions to resources for the "Users" group that will apply to all users that have this group assigned.
TIP: After you get everything working, you can hook it all up to JDBC instead of "file" so that you can manage your users in a database.
h2. {color:#993300}*Step 2: Create the project*{color}
Since I'm a newbie to JSF, I am using Netbeans 6.1 so that I can play around with all of the fancy Visual Web JavaServer Faces components and the visual designer.
1. Start by creating a new Visual Web JSF project.
2. Next, create a new subfolder under your web root called "secure". This is the folder that we will define a Security Constraint for in a later step, so that any user trying to access any page in this folder will be redirected to a login page to sign in, if they haven't already.
h2. {color:#993300}*Step 3: Create the JSF and JSP files*{color}
In my very simple project I have 3 pages set up. Create the following files using the default templates in Netbeans 6.1:
1. login.jsp (A Visual Web JSF file)
2. loginproxy.jspx (A plain JSPX file)
3. secure/securepage.jsp (A Visual Web JSF file... Note that it is in the sub-folder named secure)
Code follows for each of the files:

<to-view-id>/loginproxy.jspx</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>
NOTE: This navigation rule simply forwards the request to loginproxy.jspx whenever the user clicks the submit button. The button1_action() method below returns the "loginproxy" case to make this happen.

h2. {color:#993300}*_Step 4: Configure Declarative Security_*{color}
This type of security is called +declarative+ because it is not configured programatically. It is configured by declaring all of the relevant parameters in the configuration files: *web.xml* and *sun-web.xml*. Once you have it configured, the container (application server and java framework) already have the implementation to make everything work for you.
*web.xml will be used to define:*
- Type of security - We will be using "form based". The loginpage.jsp we created will be set as both the login and error page.
- Security Roles - The security role defined here will be mapped (in sun-web.xml) to users or groups.
- Security Constraints - A security constraint defines the resource(s) that is being secured, and which Roles are able to authenticate to them.
*sun-web.xml will be used to define:*
- This is where you map a Role to the Users or Groups that are allowed to use it.
+I know this is confusing the first time, but basically it works like this:+
*Security Constraint for a URL* -> mapped to -> *Role* -> mapped to -> *Users & Groups*

*DONE!!!*
h2. {color:#993300}*_Here's how it works:_*{color}
1. The user requests the a page from your context (http://localhost/MyLogin/)
2. The servlet forwards the request to the welcome page: faces/secure/securepage.jsp
3. faces/secure/securepage.jsp has a security constraint defined, so the servlet checks to see if the user is authenticated for the session.
4. Of course the user is not authenticated since this is the first request, so the servlet forwards the request to the login page we configured in web.xml (/faces/login.jsp).
5. The user enters username and password and clicks a button to submit.
6. The button's action method stores away the username and password in the request scope.
7. The button returns "loginproxy" navigation case which tells the navigation handler to forward the request to loginproxy.jspx
8. loginproxy.jspx renders a blank page to the user which has hidden username and password fields.
9. The hidden username and password fields grab the username and password variables from the request scope.
10. The loginproxy page is automatically submitted with the magic action "j_security_check"
11. j_security_check notifies the container that authentication needs to be intercepted and handled.
12. The container authenticates the user credentials.
13. If the credentials fail, the container forwards the request to the login.jsp page.
14. If the credentials pass, the container forwards the request to *+the last protected resource that was attempted.+*
+Note the last point! I don't know how, but no matter how many times you fail authentication, the container remembers the last page that triggered authentication and once you finally succeed the container forwards your request there!!!!+
+The user is now at the secure welcome page.+
If you have read this far, I thank you for your time, and I seriously question your ability to ration your time pragmatically.
Kerry Randolph

If you want login security on your web app, this is one way to do it. (the easiest way i have seen).
This method allows you to create a custom login form and error page using JSF.
The container handles the actual authentication and protection of the resources based on what you declare in web.xml and sun-web.xml.
This example uses a statically defined user/password, stored in a file, but you can also configure JDBC realm in Glassfish, so that that users can register for access and your program can store the username/passwrod in a database.
I'm new to programming, so none of this may be a good practice, or may not be secure at all.
I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm learning, and this has been the easiest way that I have found to add authentication to a web app, without having to write the login modules yourself.
Another benefit, and I think this is key ***You don't have to include any extra code in the pages that you want to protect*** The container manages this for you, based on the constraints you declare in web.xml.
So basically you set it up to protect certain folders, then when any user tries to access pages in that folder, they are required to authenticate.

Using a hierarchy but also showing work orders that are not in hierarchy

good morning bi people,
i have a requirement to show data from a hierarchy which includes Operation and Maintenance information. for example it has an account broken into labour/material/trucking and below this is the pm acivity type and secondary cost element (concatenated). this hierarchy is a manually created hierarchy that is uploaded to BW and is not in ECC. The users do not want to see the concatenated field at the end of the hierarchy, but instead, want to see the Work Orders that have the PM activity types.
At the present time, we have the report using the hierarchy but we need the work orders to replace the pm activity type/secondary cost element concatenated field. the work order field is a free characteristic and when we drag in the work order in analyzer, it works correctly.
1) is this possible to use the hierarchy and somehow map the work order field to the end of the hierarchy within crystal?
2) do you have a suggestion to change the hierarchy, without being a manual nightmare?
all conversations are welcome.
Erik

Good Day Ingo,
i have created a word document with screen shots of the hierarchy from BW, a screen shot of the BEx showing the free characteristic of Maintenance Order and a screen shot of the crystal report with the PM Activity type concatenated to the Cost Element. Once again, we do not wish to see the concatenated field, but rather see the Maintenance orders that have a PM Activity type the same as the concatenated field.
here is the link.

How to use Vendor Hierarchy in Vendor Rebate Agreements

Hi Friends,
I need to use vendor hierarchy in vendor rebates agreements.
Here are some inputs from my end so far I have done:
Customizing Settings for vendor hierarchy and rebate agreement (agreement type 3000 and condition types A003/ A004) have been done.
While creating the PO after creating rebate agreement (MEB1) I am able to see all higher partner functions (2A,2B,2C,2D) at header level in PO under partners.
I have (say ) 3 vendors V1, V2, V3 (V1 being highest) set up in vendor hierarchy (MKH1).
My requirement is; if my company make any rebate agreement with vendor at any node below the highest in the vendor hierarchy then that business volume should be taken in consideration for rebate purpose with the vendor at higher level while making any agreement with him.
I request you to please let me know how to set up this.

Hi lvshaolong,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I believe I have not misunderstood the business scenario.
But may I request you to tell me the process steps for the senario you told which is "Normally , you define condition with highest node in hierachy and then you can refer to it when you do biz with the lower nodes". How vendor rebate process takes place this scenarion (I mean process flow).
This might help me to find some solution further.
More input from my end:
When I am creating the PO against a vendor included in the vendor hierarchy(after agreement), rabate condiion A003 or A004 is not appearing in pricing and hence during BV comparison,system does not find any data to update.

Using different hierarchy in a query and last value error

Hi guys,
there is a hierarchy for customers in the 0Customer Infoobject which I should use in my query.
I have activated the hierarchy in the query and now some results are not appearing but red crosses "x" are shown.
And the error message: The function Calculate Results as ... could not be applied everywhere.
I know that I am using the result as "last value" for some columns because I need them there (for example: to determine the last value for the credit limit of the current month). I think these columns where I am using the last value calculation are only affected.
I mean my query has a lot of characteristics and key figures and I was told that a hiearchy for customers which is available should be used. But now there are these red crosses.
I don´t see any other solution as not to use this specific hierarchy.
Has anybody a suggestion what could be an argument to use or not to use a hierarchy?
Is it sometimes like in my case that a hierarchy is not possible to use?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
say for example your customer hierarchy is customers grouped under region. You can maintain this region as one of the attribute of customer and you can display this attribute in the report. Indirectly, this will give similar output to that of hierarchy.
But lot depends on how your hierarchy is formed, before commenting whether it can be moved to master data attributes.
Thanks.

Use of hierarchy with cell definition

Hi all,
I have an issue with a query that is using cell definition in order to have different selection criteria in 2 columns.
In the cell definition, it has being defined a new selection using a hierarchy ( 0costcenter hierarchy) to filter and select the desired values, but the query result is not taking into consideration the filter with the hierarchy.
I have tested the same selection out of the cell definition and the right values are selected...
Is there any constrain in the use of hierarchies to filter values within the "cell definition"?
Many thanks in advance,
Elena

Hi Elena,
I too face the same problem for cell definition with hierarchy.
As per my knowledge cell definitions are purely valid for that cell only (like MS Excel formula in a cell).
So cell definitions are possible with static reports only (with out hierarchy drill downs).
If you got any solution please let me know.
Thanks = Reward Points

Using general hierarchy of sales information system

Hi,
The sales manager uses oftenly the general hierarchy in order to sort the information that could extract from sales information system.
So, firstly he uses the tranasction MCK1 to create a hierarchy and after that he executes the transaction MCSI in order to extract sales information.
So my question is, how can use the hierarchy in a abap program? I want to offer the hierarchy as selection parameter.
     Thank for your cooperation
                 Best Regards

Using a hierarchy node variable in a BI 7 web template

Hi all,
I am searching for a way how to use a hierarchy node variable in a BI 7 web template. I have seen that there is a hierarchy web item, but I can only link that to a characteristic. I need to link the navigation item to a hierarchy node variable as I want to use the chosen variable value in a customer exit as well. Therefore the hierarchy web item is not working for me.
Is there any web item that can be used to offer hierarchy node variables as navigation options in a web template?
If you have any idea, every hint is highly appreciated!
Cheers
Tatjana

The Filter panel will only display you the characteristics and key figures available in the query.
If you want to add a combo box to make "on the fly" currency conversion, you'll have to do that by another way.

You can load Hierarchies (sets) from R/3 in the same as other Master Data. Just you need to create Hierarchy DataSource using Tcode BW07. Where you have to give the name of the table and field on which you created Hierarchy iin R/3.
Also there are many standard avilable datasources also for hierarchy for which you can load Hierarchy Directly.
Here are the step by step procedures:
Hi,
If you are using standard infoobject and you want to load r3 hierachy you dont have to configure any additional thing in order to load it in BW.
The Steps are:
1)Activate the hierarcie datasource in R3
2)Replicate it in BW
3)Assign the datasource for an Infosource, and make sure you select the hierarchie datasource.
4)Active the Infosource
5)Create Infopackage
6)Select the desire hierachie in the infopackage(if you dont see it, click on Available Hierarchies from OLTP and select it)
