CUA: TEXT COMPARISON FROM CHILD SYSTEM

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement wherein the option "TEXT COMPARISON FROM CHILD SYSTEM" in CUA system needs to be invoked programmatically. Are there any underlying programs that could be invoked from a custom RFC??

Any pointers in this regard will be highly appreciated.

What would be the difference to what the standard text comparison does, also via RFC?

Hello Julius,

Thanks for the quick response.

May be my question might have been naive as I'm a newbie to the CUA topic... I have my external application (Webdynpro/ EJB based) from which I would like to trigger the activities related to creation, deletion of roles and/or profiles.

As per my understanding, for the data replication from CUA system to child systems and vice versa, the text comparison has to be done. So I was looking out for a way to do this. Kindly let me know how the text comparison could be triggered from an external application like what I have in my scenario..

Thanks..

Best regards,

I am not sure whether that function is released for external use outside of the CUA (in which case it can change...) but it must be there.

Another option would be to run the function via the ABAP transaction, if that is supported and possible. Just call the transaction with the parameters it needs to trigger the text comparison. (disclaimer: I have not done or tried this myself for this purpose and it is not a state-of-the-art design, but principally it should work).

Try to schedule RHAUTUPD_NEW as a nightly batch job for the affected role/roles.

I'll try both the options and will update.

Many Thanks..

John's advise is a good one. Via the role name convention you might still have a chance of doing it selectively and on demand.

A possibility would be to have a self-replicating job per system, which you then only release from your WDA and it schedules itself again in the next step to wait for the next release.

The function which does this Text Comparison internally, is clearly flagged as "Not released".

You can also execute the following report or schedule it in the background :-

SUSR_ZBV_GET_RECEIVER_PROFILES - to collect the changed roles and profiles from the child system. This report is run in the Central System.

Hi,

please remind and take care, because this FM is not released.

Thanks for the note. As recommended by Julius and John, we are planning to use the report and not FM.

Best regards.
