HI Experts,
We are on IDM 7.2 Service Pack 9 Patch Level 6
We need to connect our IDM system to Ariba. I believe that we don't have a connector available for SAP to Ariba.
What is the best way to do this? If we have to use webservices is there any standard documentation that we can refer to?
Regards,
Aman
Hi Aman,
I just finished integrating IDM 7.2 SP10 with Ariba, and we did it using privileges as Ariba groups. The provisioning was done using flat files (1 for user master information and 1 for user-to-group assignment) that were sent (via SFTP) to PI. PI picked up the 2 flat files and converted them into the format accepted by Ariba.
Hopefully this helps,
Rick
Hi Aman
Ariba has the SAP ECC Sync program to replicate roles across to groups.
You could have shell roles and provision via IdM to ECC and then run the sync across
I'm not sure if fixed, but there was some code/bug issue with replicating the user master across due to timezone length (reported that last year but haven't been close to it). The other main drawn back is the code makes use of the PFCG long description field to list the groups (bad use of it and I wish they had a table or some mapping to achieve this instead).
Program: /ARBA/MASTER_DATA_EXPORT
SM30 table: /ARBA/USR_GRP (add all the roles you want in the sync in that table)
PFCG - each shell role should have the group listed as a single line within the long description

Hi Aman,
I don't think so. At least I did not see a mention here.
I think your best alternative is to open a note.

No connector available afaik.
Regarding custom connector: this depends on the web services you have available in Ariba.
