Analysis Authorization with SEM-BPS

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have performed technical upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0. We want to migrate to BI 7.0 functionality phase wise.

We have SEM-BPS and now we want to migrate to Analysis Authorization of BI 7.0.

Once we have igrated to Analysis Authorization, will there be any impact on SEM-BPS? Can we still use SEM-BPS with New Analysis Authorizations? We do not want to move to BI-IP in near future?.

Please advise.

Best Regards,

Dear UR,

Iu2019m going to try helping you,

In difference of reporting functionality, in planning, the data of an InfoCube is not just read; it is also changed or created.

There are two planning tools in BI: BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation), and BI Integrated Planning.

There are two main tcode: BPS0 and RSPLAN

There are three authorization objects to manage Integrated Planning:

S_RS_PL_ADMIN - Planning Administrator

S_RS_PL_PLANNER u2013 Planner

S_RS_PL_PLANMOD_D u2013 Planning Modeler (Development System)

The main object in the planning scenario is InfoCube real-time, where can available writing in small package that arrive in parallel. In some cases the security requirements for reporting and planning can be merging. In this case you need authorization object for checking planning, as authorization object above, and you need authorization object for using a query for planning requires as S_RS_COMP.

In addition to authorization for displaying data, the authorizations for changing data you need analysis authorization (the analysis authorization focus in the InfoProvider, no in Aggregation Level).

In your analysis authorization design for reporting stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 value. In the planning stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 and 02 values. As explain following:

Using the characteristics 0TCAACTVT (activity), you can restrict the authorization to different activities. Read (03) is set as the default activity; you must also assign the activity Change (02) for integrated planning.
