Authority Problems

Posted: Dec 16, 2008 6:36 PM E-mail this message

If anyone is particularly knowledgeable about how authorizations work in SAP ECC 6.0 please help me out.

I have copied a program from an old system ECC 4.6 into ECC 6.0 and got a dump because the parameters had changed in the subroutine Authority_Begin.

This is in the Functiongroup RSAQEXCE.

-

-

---

FORM AUTHORITY_BEGIN

-

-

---

Anfang der Berechtigungsprüfung

-

-

---

form authority_begin using p_auth_classname type AQS_CLSNA.

nicht bei generischen BW Extraktoren

if %memmode = 'D'.

exit.

endif.

perform authority_init using p_auth_classname.

call method iref->access_authority_begin.

endform. "AUTHORITY_BEGIN

I need to provide this subroutine, and a few others with p_auth_classname type AQS_CLSNA.

Which as I understand it is jsut the name of the authorization class. Since I only copied the program I have no idea who should or shouldn't be using it and also where to supply the name of this authorization class. Should I create my own authorization in transaction PRGN? OR can I somehow provide the authorization of the person who is calling the program?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi John

Try this code

DATA: P_AUTH_CLASSNAME type AQS_CLSNA

*PERFORM AUTHORITY_BEGIN(RSAQEXCE).

*PERFORM AUTHORITY(RSAQEXCE) USING 'GLPCT'.

*PERFORM AUTHORITY_END(RSAQEXCE).

PERFORM AUTHORITY_BEGIN(RSAQEXCE) using p_auth_classname.

PERFORM AUTHORITY(RSAQEXCE) USING 'GLPCT' p_auth_classname.

PERFORM AUTHORITY_END(RSAQEXCE) using p_auth_classname.

Thanks and Regards,

Thanks for the advice! I have solved the problem already though. There was a default class hidden in the comments of the codeing that could be given as a parameter.
