How to delete a batch of useless roles between DEV,QAS and PRD?

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

If I want to delete a lot of useless roles between DEV&QAS, How can I do?

Is there a way to wrap the useless roles as a package and then transport it into QAS or PRD?

Here below is the way to delete a single useless role between DEV&QAS&PRD? My problem is if I want to delete a batch of useless roles, Is there a highest efficiency way? (Certainly, I do know I can repeat the steps listed below to complete the task.)

1) In Dev box --> PFCG --> give the role you want to delete --> click the transport button --> create a transport request .Remember the transport request number.( don't release the request )

2) Delete the role in Dev box in PFCG by clicking the delete button.

3) Now in SE09 in Dev box, release transport request created in step 1.

4) Import the released the request to your test and prod box.

Now you can find the the roles has been deleted.

Thanks!

Hi Jason,

Pretty simple. Include all the roles in a single transport in case they are less than 200 to 250. If more than that include them in mutiple transports. For a 1000 roles 4-5 transports would do. You get mass transport option with in PFCG itself. Next delete them using E-CATT/CATT script and then do the transports. Release the transports in background. By release I strictly mean release not import which anyways I hope you must be doing in background mode.

Dear Ruchit,

Thank you very much for your timely and professional reply.

As a beginner, your answer was beyond the scope of my SAP knowledge.

Presume I want to delete 9 useless roles in DEV (The changegs within only ONE request will be transported in QAS and PRD later).

How to implement?

Hope you could guide me at your convenient time.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ruchit,

Thanks for your response.

Could you please also let us know step by step process for e-catt/secatt scripts for deletion of Mass roles.

Thanks,

I presume then the best way is to repeat the process for all the roles you need to remove and add the changes to a single transport.
