Workbook without Assigned Roles

Dear BI Experts,
I need your help to assign a workbook in the workbook storage of the server, back into a roles folder. Here is my scenario:
I created a new workbook and assigned it to a role in Dev.
My Dev system got a system refresh from my Prod system. Before the system refresh, I saved my workbook into a transport, and then re-applied it back to Dev after system refresh. The issue here is that I did not save the roles folder of the workbook into the transport.
So now, after I re-applied the transport to Dev, the workbook exist in the server, but not in the role folder. When I ran BEx and try to find the workbook in Dev, it could not find the workbook.
I ran RSWB_ROLES_REORG program, and the workbook is listed as Workbook in the workbook storage, but not in any roles folder (Unused). I also ran function module RSBB_WORKBOOK_AGR_GET and did not see the role in the E_T_AGR table.
Please provide me the steps to assign the workbook in the server to a role folder.
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
Kevin--

You can assign the workbook to a role directly in the Role Maintenance screen (tcode PFCG).
Go to the Menu tab there in change mode and choose the folder into which you want to put the workbook. Click on the 'Report' button at the top of the Menu screen, then choose the 'BW Report' radio button.
You can then enter the 'Report ID' (i.e., Workbook ID) of the desired workbook. (You may want to look this up in advance in the Admin Workbench using the Metadata Repository --> Workbook option.)
The workbook will then appear in the role menu with a "default" name of something like "New Report", which can be changed to the correct description for the workbook.
Hope this helps...

Assigning a workbook to the role

Hi Gurus,
We are using NW2004s and are in front end patch 12.
We have created a workbook role to assign all our workbooks, however Iam unable to find an option to assign these workbooks to the role. In earlier versions (3.x) there was a role icon in Bex Analyzer which we use to use to assign the workbooks, Iam not seeing this icon anymore in BI7. Can someone quide on how to assign this.
Thanks!

I can see publish query To Role, To Portal & BEx broadcaster, this will publish my query. My need is to publish or assign workbook to a role. When you log in through Bex Analyzer, you have two options 1). Open Query, 2). Open workbook., If you choose Open workbook, you can see all workbooks created. I would like to assign these workbooks to a role. Otherwise these workbooks will be saved in the favourites and no one else can view this other then me.

Save new workbook in menue role with VBA / ABAP

Hello,
does anybody know of a way to save a workbook which is not stored in SAP BW by then in a menue role folder through VBA or ABAP automatically?
I know that there is the SAPBEXsaveWorkbook function in VBA but that only works if the workbook already has an ID in BW. Maybe there is some workaround to assign name and ID beforehand? Where does the BEx get the ID if the workbook already has one? Is it stored in a temporary mapping table or something? I found that there are NO very hidden sheets as long as there are no queries embedded in the workbook, and I want to save a workbook WITHOUT queries.
Also, I know that there is the saveDialogWorkbook function, but as stated above the saving process should be automatically, i.e. a function like SAPBEXsaveWorkbook(name As String, role As String, node-id As String). By the way, where would I get the node-id for the nodes in the menue role?
Thank you for ANY hints!

Hi Peter,
thanks for your update! Saving in the "root folder" of a role might already be sufficient if we don't figure out how to save in folders.
I've done some research, too, and the strange thing is that the number at the end is obviously not the folder ID. When you choose "Open -> Workbooks", then copy a workbook entry using Ctrl+C and paste it in an editor, you get more information than what is displayed in the dialog even with technical names turned on. The pasted entry includes the role name and the number you referred to. And the thing is that even two workbooks in the same folder have different numbers! When you save a workbook using 0000000000 and then look at the number assigned in the way described above, it also has an ID different from 0000000000. It seems that every workbook has its own number. So to me it's still a mistery where the folder is specified.

Jörg

Workbook changed---Reassigning role?

Hi,
I have one workbook which is available in production system and relevant roles are also existing in production..
Now, i had inserted two more newly developed queries to the workbook
What are the things that needs to be transported along with the workbook?
What i did was in transport connection, i had collected all the query elements pertaining workbook and collected in a single transport request..
I know that roles should also be transported along with this workbook, but these roles are already existing in production system..
still recommendation says that we also need to transport roles along with the workbook.
Given the situation how should i re-assign the role to the workbook?

The roles should not be edited in the Production system directly. So you have to update the roles with the work book in the quality system or development system and then you have to transport the roles in the different TR.
Work book can be transported in the different TR. if you transport the workbook without updating the relevant roles which are linked with that, there would be no use of that..
you would not get necessary authorizations for that in production server.
Hope this would help you.

Assigning roles to LDAP users through BIP API

Hi.
My customer has BIP 11g and OIM 9.1.0.2 running on the same weblogic server (11g). Both authenticate against the same LDAP server.
One of our desired next steps is to provision from OIM the BIP roles to each LDAP user so every user gets the correct roles (and access to the correct reports) according to the groups he has on OIM.
I've been searching for info regarding this without success. The BIP API doc does not show any info about assigning roles to users.
We don't need to manage LDAP users, BIP roles, etc... through OIM. We only need to assign BIP roles to LDAP users.
Is it possible to make that assignments through BIP API?
If not, any other ideas? New ideas or different approaches are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

In OBIEE 11g which includes BIP the application roles are applied to LDAP users and groups using the Enterprise Manager Fusion Control.
During the upgrade process from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g the groups do get assigned to these roles transparently so there must be some API to leverage this functionality.
I would start there, http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/admin_api.htm
There are no specific instructions on accomplishing what you seek but if you have some WLST or Java Skills you should be able to get something prototyped.
Let me know if that helps.

Tranport role from Dev to Prod without overwriting role menu

Hi Experts,
We have users who have saved BW workbooks in the roles. They appear as transactions in the role menu. Now when we are transporting the roles the role menu is getting overwritten and all the workbooks are no more in the Role menu and so not visible to the users.
How can we transport the BW roles without overwriting the Role menu ? Please help
Thanks a million
Sunil Kumar

How can we transport the BW roles without overwriting the Role menu ? Please help
I doubt whether this is possible or not.... Well for instant damage control you look in change history to find out what was there in menu before?? And put them back as it was before.
For a permanent solution it is already suggested in earlier posts... that is to have a menu role concept used only for query, work book saving pupose and these are not getting transported in any case.

Impossible to "save as" a workbook in a role

Save workbook in a role

I have created a role "A" that permite save workbook. I have included the authorization objects:
S_BDS_DS
Activity *
Rolename *
Class type OT
S_USR_TCS
Transaction code: RRMX
S_GUI
Activity 60
S_USER_AGR
Activity *
Name of function *
But when I try save new workbook only role "A" appears. I´d like save workbook in another role... for example "B". It´s possible?
Regards
Daniel

Hi,
The roles are avialable to assign the workbooks or queries to it if and only if it has atleast a worrkbook/Query has been assigned to it already. So I hope, you role B does not has any workbook or query assigned to it. So by PFCG assign a junk workbook to it. And once you complete this assignment in PFCG then you can see Role B in the SAVE option.Once you comlete the saving required work book to it remove the junk workbook by PFCG.

E Portal User Administran--Automatic loss of assigned roles of users

Hi All,
Some users are losing assigned roles automatically without anybody modifying User administration part.This is happening frequently.
My senior told me that
"<b>roles are based on Active Directories. When Users move from one location to another there is change in the Active Directories.
If Active directories do not get refreshed properly roles will be not come up.</b>"
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance,
Gangadharayya.

Hi Gangadharayya,
Check the Unique ID of the user(whose role has lost) in the system Administration --> support -->support Desk -->
User Management >Test component for UME objects
Enter the user ID of the user(whose role has lost)in the Get User table. And click the 'Get' .
And in the bottom of that screen you ll get the 'UME User toString' table. In that get the unique ID of the user and check this unique ID with the LDAP.
Try the same steps from the role. Give the Role ID search in the 'Get Role ' column and click get. Now compare the unique IDs of the user.

Birla.

Assigning roles to Queries

I have created a query which is a look alike of a similar query. I need to assign it the same roles as the original one.
My questions:
1. How do I see that to what roles the original queries are assigned?
2.How do I assign the same roles to my query now?
3. I have created the query and right now it is in Favorites folder. I want to know whether I need to remove it from there ?
4. Also, I have not placed the query in a workbook. Is it mandatory to place it in a workbook before assigning it the concerned roles ? If yes, then how do I place it in a workbook ?
Please guide me stepwise. I will be very thankful to you all.
Sufficient points will be assigned.
Regards,
Srinivas

Dear Srinivas D Rao ,
1)Go to Metadata Repository and select "Query". Find your query with CTRL+F and click on it. Assigned roles are displayed at the bottom of the page.
if you cannot find with that way or you need to know more than one query in 'one go', you can try
table RSRREPDIR type in queries technical name to field COMPID (use arrow icon 'multiple selection) to get COMPUID, then go to table AGR_HIER SAP_GUID = COMPUID, AGR_NAME is the role name
2)To assign the roles to queries you will have to query designer open query-> select the query which you want to assign and in the top there is option for the roles....it's third or 2nd from left.
once you click it will take you to the roles already existing in your system.
just chose the role to which you want to assign and click OK.
Before that... if you have no roles in your system...then you will have to create through t-code PFCG.
3)Favourite folder is your own place and it will be shown only to your groups.. so i think its not necessary to remove from favourities folder..
4)If you place the query in Workbook,then it will be easy to assign roles and authorization to it...
Note:
Suppose you have to test and validate the queries that are created then , for example you can have a role named test and validation and you can assign the queries to that role and you can add the users who can access these queries in that role.
Broadcast roles
we can broadcast to the roles.When u do like that all the users who are in that role will receive that.In the information broadcasting screen, under receipents u have to select the value for USER IN ROLE.

Assign roles to SSO integrated users

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to assign roles to SSO users but I can't. I achieved it with local and LDAP users, but not for SSO users (I want to use my AD users but without LDAP config)
My platform is vCenter 5.5 U1 for SSO, vCAC appliance + IaaS server, and vCAD appliance. When you register your vCAD with vCAC you can use SSO integrated authentication of vCAC. But, how can I assign roles to SSO users?
I can access to vCAD with AD users through SSO integrated authentication but all options are read-only.
Best regards,
Jose Luis Gomez

Hello everyone,
Auto-response.
When you've registered your vCAD with vCAC, new roles appears in vCAC. This roles are:
Application Architect
Application Catalog Administrator
Application Cloud Administrator
Application Publisher And Deployer
Application System Administrator
You can apply this roles to users or groups but always from vCAC --> Administration --> Groups/Users
Best regards,

How can I stop a user from saving over "standard" workbooks in a role?

Hello -
We are using BEx Analyzer 7.0.
I need help restricting our regular users so they can only save workbooks to their favorites and cannot override workbooks published to roles by our super users / authors.
My understanding is the regular users need the following in order to save workbooks to favorites.
S_GUI Activity = 60
S_BDS_DS Activities = 03 and 30 Class Type = OT
These users are able to save to their favorites.
However, if they open a workbook from a role and then just choose Save -> Workbook, it allows them to save their changed version of the workbook over the "standard" workbook that was published to the role for all users.
What can I do to only allow them to save to their favorites and not be able to override the standard workbooks in regular roles?
Our super user / authors have the following security to allow them to publish to roles.
S_USER_AGR with Activities = 01, 02 and 06 (Create, Change and Delete)
Our regular users have
S_USER_AGR but only with activities 03 and 08 (Display and Display Changes)
Any help that can be provided would be greatly appeciated. This is very frustrating.
Thank you -
Ann

Hello Anne,
Inspite of restricting the authorisation object S_BDS_DS you are not able to restrict the users in overwriting the workbooks, please implement the note 1167094 in your system.
Implementing this note with the help of yout BASIS team would surely fix your issue.
Let me know if this helps. Thanks.

Error in assigning role to multiple task

Hi,
We are using BAPI BAPI_BUS2175_ROLE_ASSIGN_ADD to assign role to task. It is working fine if we are assigning different role to different tasks. But if we assign the same role to different tasks in a project, it is giving dump while saving the data.
We are using following sequence in the code:
1. BAPI_BUS2172_LOAD to load the project
2. BAPI_BUS2175_ROLE_ASSIGN_ADD to assign role to task
3. BAPI_CPROJECTS_COMMIT_WORK to save the changes.
So when BAPI_CPROJECTS_COMMIT_WORK is executing, it is giving dump as follows.
The exception 'CX_DPR_FATAL_ERROR' was raised, but it was not caught anywhere
along
the call hierarchy.
Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not
adequately responded to, the running ABAP program
'CL_DPR_AUTHORIZATION_SERVICES=CP' has to be
terminated.
Could you please let me know what may be the reason for getting dump.
Regards,
Anil Salekar

I can tell you the table where the the role assignments get stored . It is
DPR_ENTITY_LINK.
