How to transport a Role from BWP to BWD?

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I was asked to transport a role from BWP(Production) to BWD(Development). I have transported queries from Prod to Dev but i havent transported Role. Please tell me the steps to do it.

Also i am asked to do the below things while transfering the role,

"For gathering all necessary object of a role, just check if all objects belongs to same Package. And at any time please do not transport any InfoCube, DSO, InfoObject, Multiprovider etc from BWP to BWD, as that will overwrite any existing changes that might be made in BWD. Also you need to gather role itself separately in PFCG transaction, as from transport connection in RSA1, role is not gathered."

Guru's please help me to do this. Please tell me the steps to do it.

THanks & Regards,

Goto PFCG - Enter Role - click on transport Icon and give transport request number or

Trans con - Select only Necessary Objects - select Role - expand node if any and make sure if any objects collected , uncheck them - assign request

I'm also a beginner on this; just sharing what I had learnt.. As your's is a Analysis level authorization; you would need to transport the role created in PFCG from RSA1>Transport.. Further for the current iView you need to assign the portal level auth object also. Usually roles are transported by BASIS; and you would only need to assign the user names to this roles as and when new users are added.
