BAPI_USER_ACTGROUPS_ASSIGN does not work as advertised

[Former Member]

I've written a user conversion program that utilizes BAPI_USER_ACTGROUPS_ASSIGN to assign roles to users. This bapi does not work. The first userid in the file gets assigned his/her role. However subsequent user roles are not saved to the database even though the bapi return a successful message. To test this:

1. Create 3 users via SU01. Call then AAA, BBB, CCC. Do not assign roles.

2. Create and execute the code below.

3. In my system the bapi only saves roles for AAA.

report ZROLES.

data: v_userid like bapibname-bapibname.

data: actgroups type bapiagr occurs 0 with header line.

data: return like bapiret2 occurs 0 with header line.

start-of-selection.

do.

case sy-index.

when 1.

v_userid = 'AAA'.

when 2.

v_userid = 'BBB'.

when 3.

v_userid = 'CCC'.

when others.

exit.

endcase.

refresh: actgroups,

return.

clear return.

actgroups-agr_name = 'SAP_ISA_B2B_ORDER'.

actgroups-from_dat = '20070201'.

actgroups-to_dat = '20070401'.

append actgroups.

actgroups-agr_name = 'SAP_ISA_B2B_VIEW'.

actgroups-from_dat = '20070201'.

actgroups-to_dat = '20070401'.

append actgroups.

call function 'BAPI_USER_ACTGROUPS_ASSIGN'

exporting

username = v_userid

tables

activitygroups = actgroups

return = return.

write:/ v_userid.

loop at return.

write:/ return-type, return-message.

endloop.

skip.

enddo.

Hello,

Check this:

FU BAPI_USER_ACTGROUPS_ASSIGN

____________________________________________________

Short text

    User: Change entire activity group assignment

Functionality

    The user activity group assignments are transferred in an ACTIVITYGROUPS
    table. All existing assignments are overwritten by the assignments in
    this table. This also means that existing assignments can be deleted if
    they are no longer contained in the table.
    Only the fields
    ACTIVITYGROUPS-AGR_NAME
    ACTIVITYGROUPS-FROM_DAT
    ACTIVITYGROUPS-TO_DAT
    must be filled.

    If the date of the link is not specified,
    ACTIVITYGROUPS-FROM_DAT is set to the current date and
    ACTIVITYGROUPS-FROM_DAT is set to 31.12.9999.

Example

    User SAMPLE has been assigned the following activity groups:
    AGR1     01.01.98     01.01.99
    AGR2     01.01.98     01.01.99
    AGR3     01.01.98     01.01.99

    You want to delete
    AGR1     01.01.98     01.01.99  and insert
    AGR4     02.01.98     01.03.99.
Transfer table ACTIVITYGROUPS with the following contents:
AGR2     01.01.98     01.01.99
AGR3     01.01.98     01.01.99
AGR4     02.01.98     01.03.99

If useful reward.

I realize that the entire role profile gets overriden. However, these are brand new users not existing ones. The code snippet that I attached is only a sample. The actual conversion program reads the existing roles and appends any new ones.

Oops. I forgot some impotant info.

1. This is being run in ECC5.

2. SAP_BASIS support pack SAPKB64015.

3. It seems to only occur when applying composite roles.

I had the same problem.

Turned out to be a poor work area cleaning.

Always use

    actgroups-agr_name = 'SAP_ISA_B2B_VIEW'.

    actgroups-from_dat = '20070201'.

    actgroups-to_dat   = '20070401'.

    clear actgroups-ORG_FLAG.

    append actgroups.

Solved my problem.
