What are the Essentials for a Sap Security Consultant.

Hi Gurus,
I have completed a Implementation in which I alone handled the entire Security . It is a defense client .
Now I am technically expert at security. But I have no functional knowledge.
Implementing Security in SAP one needs to have knowledge of funtional process as well. The course that are purely technical stuff and I have good idea of techincal stuff.
The Question is what is a Sap Security Consultant expected to know . And how to go about acquiring that knowledge?

Hi Hussain,
There is a little bit of release-dependent-everything in this thread: Authorization for VAP2 in conflict with VD02 for F_KNA1_GRP
Try solve it and you will understand that you need the requirements (without that you are anyway doomed) and the knowledge and the appropriate access to create / test it.
BAPI's are remote enabled stable interfaces to SAP standard functionality. They are the best examples of combining functional, technical and standard skills in a sustainable way without creating a mess (a mess, way beyond the bounds of your concerns...).
If you learn to use the available tools and information sources, then you dont need to stress about the essentials, even if your customer makes a design error before or after your advice.
Cheers,
Julius

FICO:What are the critical reporting requirements of a finance department?

Hi Experts,
Can you help me identify all the reporting requirements of a finance departmentn when it comes to the use of BW?
i. From a reporting perpective, what does the finance department need from BI to say that BI is a worthwhile investiment?
ii. Does BI provide any of the answers provided in i. (above) through its business content objects? If so, can you discuss how BI provides each of the solutions? (I will apprecaite a discussion for the "finance team" and not neccessarily for the IT team)
iii. If all the requirements of a finance department are already available with a newly installed BI, then
what are the typical functions of a BI consultant to a finance department? i.e. why will a finance department find the need to bring in a BI consutant to advise them on how best to use BW in their environment?
iv. How does the above discussion pertain to CO. i.e. If your discussion above is strictly for FI, can you address i, ii, iii for CO?
Thanks and Happy Holiday.

Hi
From a reporting perpective, what does the finance department need from BI to say that BI is a worthwhile investiment?
Normally Financial reports needed for the customer will be P&L, Balance sheet, Cashflow statements and the AR, AP and also Controlling and the Turn over Ratios to know about the financial funding stage about their organization based on their functional requirements.
ii. Does BI provide any of the answers provided in i. (above) through its business content objects? If so, can you discuss how BI provides each of the solutions? (I will apprecaite a discussion for the "finance team" and not neccessarily for the IT team)
Better to talk to your FI CO team for this to understand better at ECC functional level to know what would be the best extractors that you can report on. BI content is already there for almost FI CO reports.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/2d/955a73da4d6d41a0a6128caf274ce8/frameset.htm
and everything mentioned clearly in that why , how , what.
iii. If all the requirements of a finance department are already available with a newly installed BI, then
what are the typical functions of a BI consultant to a finance department? i.e. why will a finance department find the need to bring in a BI consutant to advise them on how best to use BW in their environment?
Though the Finance team has every Extractor at ECC side its only BI consultant who has to work on Modeling , Extraction, Reporting Part for BEx Reports. You have to Map the Fields even though its BI Content some of the Customized objects like Routines, Formulas would be there for each and every project .
iv. How does the above discussion pertain to CO. i.e. If your discussion above is strictly for FI, can you address i, ii, iii for CO?

Daily Activities of APO DP Consultant

Hi,
If the project runs for a year, what could be the daily activities of a DP consultant?
Regards,
Ajit

You will be asked to
1) understand the present situation from Demand Planner users.
2) If it is an implementation project you will need to ask for requirements, analysis, then prototyping.
3) If it is not an implementaiton project, and if you have to support, then they will provide you with docuemnts
4) Batch jobs play a main role. If you are looking for DP then you might aswell learn a little bit of BW, atleast to support few APO BW loads and enhancments.
5) Extraction and reports, understanding the reports and supporting them.
If you can specifically tell us, we might be able to help you more.
If you feel you got helpful information reward accordingly.
Thanks,

Daily activities of a support consultant

Hello Masters,
What would be the daily activities of a support consultant?
I am bound to give points
Thanks and Best wishes,
I-BI

HI
These are the Daily Support processes & related links,
***From SDN
Normally the production support activities include
Scheduling
R/3 Job Monitoring
B/W Job Monitoring
Taking corrective action for failed data loads.
Working on some tickets with small changes in reports or in AWB objects.
The activities in a typical Production Support would be as follows:
1. Data Loading - could be using process chains or manual loads.
2. Resolving urgent user issues - helpline activities
3. Modifying BW reports as per the need of the user.
4. Creating aggregates in Prod system
5. Regression testing when version/patch upgrade is done.
6. Creating adhoc hierarchies.
Also refer these posts:
Re: In production Support , how i can acquire the knowledge
Re: How to resolve tickets its urgent
Re: production support issues
production support
we can perform the daily activitiesin Production
1. monitoring Dataload failures thru RSMO
2. Monitoring Process Chains Daily/weekly/monthly
3. Perform Change run Hirerachy
4. Check Aggr's Rollup
To add to the above
1) check data targets are ready for reporting,
2) No failed or cancelled jobs in sm37 monitors and Bw Monitor.
3) All requests are loaded for day, monthly and yearly also.
4) Also to note down time taken for loading of critical infocubes which are used for reporting
5) Is there any break in any schedules from your process chains.
It's totally a client specific tool.
The common features here can be
A ticket Id,
Priority,
Consultant ID/Name,
User ID/Name,
Date of Post,
Resolving Time etc.
There ideally is also a knowledge repository to search for a similar problem and solutions given if it had occurred earlier.
You can also have training manuals (with screen shots) for simple transactions like viewing a query, saving a workbook etc so that such queried can be addressed by using them.
When the problem is logged on to you as a consultant, you need to analyse the problem, check if you have a similar problem occurred earlier and use ready solutions, find out the exact server on which this has occured etc.
You have to solve the problem (assuming you will have access to the dev system) and post the solution and ask the user to test after the preliminary testing from your side.
Get it transported to production once tested and posts it as closed i.e. the ticket has to be closed.
---If there is a dataload failure, what steps/checks do i need to follow. Etc.
it means thats depends upon the failure we need to monitor and take corrective action ..
generally we do in load failures...
ST22 for any shortdumps
sm21 for log entries and
TRF entries
sm12 for any locks
we need to analyze from these t-codes.
Changing query/object
-change ticket from open to working.
-get additional details if any required.
-create transport request in dev.
-make the change and save in transport.
-check that transport goes through OK.
-do testing in QA system.
-after testing is OK,get change transported to prod.
-update ticket and resolve it.
-usually helpdesk closes ticket after confirmation with user who raised ticket.
data load failure
-regularly check rsmo(monitor) for data load failures.
-if load fails,get details from details tab of monitor.
-usual errors are:master data missing,special characters in data,datasource not replicated,delta load issues etc.
-get root cause of error,and fix data load manually.
-check that manually updated data is GREEN and available for reporting in data target.
-update ticket and resolve it.

How to schedule a load job from bi to r3 daily ? What are the available opt

I think we can create a PC for the same so should we code an ABAP routine with include to do the process. So can it be scheduled daily, what are the other option in BI7 other than PC ?

Hi Manohar,
To make the data source Real-Time enabled you need to run a small program which updates the REALTIME flag in ROOSOURCE table. Program is as below.
report z_rda_flag.
tables : roosource.
parameters : p_oltpsr like roosource-oltpsource.
update roosource set realtime = 'X'
where oltpsource = p_oltpsr
and objvers = 'A'.
Enter the data source name in the selection screen and run the program.
Now go back to SE16 and see the contents of 0FI_GL_4 inROOSOURCE.
You can see that the program has updated REALTIME flag for the datasource 0FI_GL_4.
hope this answer solves ur issue
u can do this only for an ODs and not for a cube. will let u know if there are any other options for a cube.
assign values to the answers as its the way of thanking in SDN.
regards,
Ranjith

hi
Role of a SAP Functional Consultant
What are the differences between a functional and business consultant?
The difference between Functional consultant and Business consultant are as follows:
1) A funcitonal consultant is able to configure the system unlike business consultant.
2) Functional consultant know more about business process unlike Business consultant.
3) A business consultant will bring business process knowledge and provide it to functional consultant who in turn used this knowledge to configure the system.
4) Functional consultant has more configuration knolwledge then Business consultant.
The responsibilities of a support consultant are:
- Primarily responsible for Handling tickets and application support to the endusers
- When an issue comes diagnose, analyse and solve the issue
- Responsible for any enhancements
- Writing functional specs and interacting with Abapers to develop any user exits
- Training the end users and preparing end user training material
For those who wished to know the role of a functional consultant. Below is one view:
A functional consultant evaluates the demands in talking with the customer's representatives, transforms the essence into an abstract and algorithmic business model. Hence, he identifies the use cases and transforms them into logical and technical views.
Then the main task starts: customizing the respective business area and making sure the system reacts in the manner according to the constraints of the requested use case.
The consultant documents the settings and prepares proper guidelines that allow other consultants to do further changes or repairs with due efforts.
The consultant takes care that proper training is given to the users and that the system is usable, performing appropriately and the business flow is complete and correct.
During go live he assists the technical staff by testing the behaviour of the system.
After go live he guarantees that the procedures remain usable and consistent in real live situation and proposes enhancements.
The main duty of a consultant is to transfer external know-how to the client. It is not manpower that counts but intelligence, understanding of processes, a feeling for defects and general a common sense.

What are the activities of Enterprise Portal Admin do ???

Hello Form,
I am a BASIS Person (R/3, WEB AS upto 6.40) . I have installed EP 6.0 also.
I am new to Enterprise Portal.
1.If some one can list all the topics for a EP Administrator that will be great help for me to focus my study.
2. Also What are the activities of EP Administrator
Thanks a lot.
Ravish

Hi Ravish,
Ques 1) If some one can list all the topics for a EP Administrator that will be great help for me to focus my study.
Ans: As a EP administrator you have to take care of all all the issues regarding the:
1. Creation of Users, Groups, Roles.
2. Assigning the roles to the user.
3. Creating and managing the groups and assigning the users to grops.
4. Taking care of all the portal Object created. Checking of all the Portal related logs for insuring that all the portal services are working fine.
5. If there are some issues regarding the users data and there objects then you have to take care of that.
I guess you must be knowing that there are few roles that you need to have the full control of portal. You must these roles to manage all the administrative functions of the portal.
Ques 2. Also What are the activities of EP Administrator?
Ans: Well this question is more or less same as above. I cannot figure out what extra you want to know here. But also let me tell you about the KM related issues in Portal. There is one part of EP that is KM (Knowledge Management). This is related with the Knowledge sharing using the management of the documents and other resources which are stored in the server repository. By this functionality you can manage the document and can share your documents and relevant data with other.
One more thing is Collaboration, related to the collaboration of various members of the portal. Here you can configure IM (Instant Messsaging), Desktop Sharing, and various other features.
I think this information will help you. If you want some more clarification then please let me know.
Regards
Pravesh

In the Calendar there used to be the daily activities listed at the bottom of the page when you had the monthly view on it

In the Calendar there used to be the daily activities listed at the bottom of the page when you had the monthly view on it.
For example you could see the whole month, the day you select was highlighted and at the bottom of the page listed any activities.
Now this does not happen. Am I missing something?
The Calender seems to have gone backwards!!!
HELP!!!
PLEASE!!!!

Ditto! I have always preferred the month as the default view and the list at the page bottom let me know what I need to pay attention to for today (or tomorrow, or any future date). Having to scoll through every hour of the day to find items that may or not be there is a huge waste of time!
I hate this calendar!!!! I've been okay with other changes in ios7 but they need to make changes. How about letting us configure our own calendar views? Choose "home" page look by month or week, itemize daily view by hour or by items entered, etc.
