Missing nodes from SAP-Menu when imported into a role menu

[Former Member]

Dear gurus,

I am experiencing a strange behaviour in PFCG...

I am building a role for a controlling key-user who wants to be able to start many transactions in the SAP Easy Access menu (S000) as an alternate to using his role menu. So, in a seperate role I import the nodes on the menu tab via the import button "From SAP-Menu" into a "SAP Menu" folder and then deactivate all objects except for S_TCODE before generating it. This gives him the menu and the tcodes, but all the rest runs on his "real" job role.

Unfortunately the PFCG subscreen is however not showing / loading all of the folders and transactions which I can see in the S000 SAP-Menu itself, so it is incomplete

Two things which I found already are:

1) There are customizing paths in SSM_CUST which are checked (see form regenerate_sap_menu in LPRGN_TREEF1S)

LIMIT_THRESHOLD

LIMIT_LEVELS

LIMIT_FIRST_LEVEL

AUT_MENU_GENER_OFF

... however we do not have any of these set and I can't see how they could influence this anyway.

2) The customer had made some own changes to S000 in SE43 (Area Menu Builder) some time ago. This is always suspect as a source of interference but I cannot see anywhere that reading the SAP-Menu considers this.

Has anyone seen this before and know a way to refresh the SAP-Menu in PFCG's "import from" screen?

An example is Accounting --> Project System --> Information System --> Financials . Everything from Financials onwards is not shown and cannot be selected.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Julius

Hi Guru,

pls have a look at note #326508......

tecnical restricitons prevent the sap menu in pfcg to be 1:1 to the sap menu in session_manager....

Hi Julius,

You may want to read the following node where due to Redundancy avoidance feature the menu paths may merge in Easy Access menus:

[Note 357877 - Easy Access: Removing duplicate transactions|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=357877] (also the referred note# 1246860)

Also I have seen if we need to add SAP standard menu in a role menu then it is more helpful to select them by using Custom Project IMG in SPRO_ADMIN.

Hi Dipanjan,

The redundancy compression would cause symptoms which might look like the same issue for the end user, but in this case it is not because the node could already not be selected in PFCG by the admin, and not just in the session_manager.

A SPRO-project would not help here either, because the S000 area menü is not in SPRO... but otherwise, yes, building SPRO-roles from customizing projects is a similar approach to what I am doing here "manually" for the SAP Easy Access menu (S000).

Cheers,

Julius
