New User Session via ABAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to create a program in which i want to login as a different user.

I will run this program as user X and than want to create a new GUI session for another user Y.

I should have options for password.

I am aware of 2 types of user session :

GUI

RFC.

Currently i am using SYSTEM_REMOTE_LOGIN for creating a RFC session but want to change this to GUI logon.

I wasn't able to find any FM or code for GUI logon.

Thanks in advance for your help!

SAP Login Inside a login !! I dont think such standard feature available. However you can achieve this by using custom screens and validating User~password from custom table.

Hi Satya,

As i mentioned we can use SYSTEM_REMOTE_LOGIN to login. But my issue with this is that all the stats recoded with this type of logon shows RFC in report column of the stat table. I want to check what all reports were executed via the second login.

Hi Deepak,

Try using the Function Module TH_CREATE_FOREIGN_MODE or TH_CREATE_MODE..

Another option is to write a wrapper around this standard SYSTEM_REMOTE_LOGIN function and use submit statement with user as parameter.

Bartek, a bit confused about using Submit. Please provide some code example how can i submit a FM using the SUBMIT statement.

Just  for info: i am using a TRUSTED RFC created for the specific user(second  user) i am trying to login with. This was to skip any password check.

Ayyam, i can use TH_CREATE_FOREIGN_MODE only for creating a new session for my user. If i specify any other user id, it raises no NO_AUTHORITY exception. With TH_CREATE_MODE i don't have the option of providing user id.

This is some solution hope you will find it usefull:

  CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

    EXPORTING

      jobname          = 'ZMYJOB'

    IMPORTING

      jobcount         = l_jobcount

    EXCEPTIONS

      cant_create_job  = 1

      invalid_job_data = 2

      jobname_missing  = 3

      OTHERS           = 4.

  IF sy-subrc = 0.

    SUBMIT zsomereport [WITH parameter = x]

          USER username VIA JOB 'ZMYJOB' NUMBER l_jobcount AND RETURN.

    IF sy-subrc = 0.

      CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'

        EXPORTING

          jobcount             = l_jobcount

          jobname              = 'ZMYJOB'

          strtimmed            = 'X'

        EXCEPTIONS

          cant_start_immediate = 1

          invalid_startdate    = 2

          jobname_missing      = 3

          job_close_failed     = 4

          job_nosteps          = 5

          job_notex            = 6

          lock_failed          = 7

          invalid_target       = 8

          OTHERS               = 9.

      IF sy-subrc <> 0.

* Implement suitable error handling here

      ENDIF.

    ENDIF.
