Best practice for the Update of SAP GRC CC Rule Set

Create a set of upload files using Excel or Notepad

Hi Simon,

Are you sure existing rule set is properly updated at Database level. Will the existing rules be properly updated also?

Many thanks. Regards,

Imanol

Create your custom ruleset using unique Function & Risk IDs, that differ from the SAP standard ones, otherwise you will run into problems of functions overwriting and riks not overwriting.

It is also best to have a new Ruleset name so there is no confusion.

Hi again Simon,

The thing is that we did already upload custom Rule Set files (Business Processes, Functions, Function-Action, Function-Permission etc) linked to a custom RuleSet.

Such Ruleset is the one we want to modify extensively.

Do you suggest to overwrite the existing RuleSet by upaloading the new one? Our concern here is if the data is accurately updated into DB.

Best regards,

Imanol

If you upload files with the same risk ids andf function ids as existing rulesets then the new risks will be rejected and the new functions will overwrite the existing ones, therefore you will create lots of issues.

Therefore in your case delete the existing ruleset out and create a replacement if you want to use the same names for functions,risk etc

Hi again Simon,

When you mention delete the existing Rule Set. Do you mean to delete it at DB level or from CC application?

Best regards,

Imanol

whichever you find easiest

Hi again,

If we go for the option to remove all rule set and rules generated at the DB level. Which are all the tables we should remove to be sure all data is removed but DB consistency is maintained?

Thanks in advace. Best regards,

Imanol

You do not do anything to the database tables.

You obtain the script from SAP Support to delete the ruleset to perform this function.

Simon,

Have you ever executed such script?

Imanol
