Hi Shannon,

Yes I had implemented 4.0.

@ Chinmaya, Thanks !

It's pretty simple. Will request you to go through all Installation and Upgrade guides for 4.0.

Remember in 4.0 you get only two products

1. Compliance Calibrator 4.0

2. Firefghter 3.0

There is no CUP (AE) in this version.

Install VIRSA base files through SAINT and SP's via SPAM.

Activate BC sets.

For CC 4.0 you will need separate Rule upload files. This rule upload will be done via Toolbox -> Rule Architect

Please first go through Installation guides for 4.0, will help you whereever there is issue.

it's is very simple to install, not too many post and pre installation steps.

Surpreet

Shannon,

I'm sorry to say that, but a GRC Implementation will require significantly more application knowledge than what can be transported in any guide.

In order to make that useful for the client I recommend you either get some training or team up with someone who has the knowledge. The basis tasks involved there are trivial, yet they need to be done properly in order to be useful.

Yes, You do need a licence, but I dont think virsa 4.X is provided/supported any longer.

Why not use 5.X?

i dont have a java system . i have only ecc 5.0 abap.

Just to be sure you have ECC 5.0 with only ABAP stack? If thats the case, you would need a seprate server with NW JAVA or you would need to install Java stack on ECC5.

Chinmaya

right , i dont think the client will want to do that. so i thought of just going with virsa 4.0 which will work with abap.

its just installation using saint right? so when am i asked for a license.

i checked in PAM

COMPLIANCE CAL. 4.0_640

Virsa Compliance Calibrator 4.0 for SAP ERP 2004

In extended maintenance 05.08.2005 05.08.2005 31.03.2010 31.03.2013

In that case you can definately use it. But you definately need a licence.

Thanks chinmaya,

have you configured virsa 4.0. Can you let me know at what stage you ll be asked for a license.

Installation or configuration or ?

Thanks

Hi Shannon,

I have worked with 4.0, but I am not sure at what stage it would ask for a license.

If you stick around someone named Surpreet, might have something to say about it

Chinmaya

Chinmaya,

actually, 4.0 also had AE and RE, but in more simplified versions

You'll need the license in order to download the installation files. But from what I read so far I suggest enetering into discussions with a GRC consultant in order to identify if that's really what the customer needs. I'm not sure downloading "something" just because it runs on ABAP is the right approach.

Frank.

Hi Frank,

AE was made only in .NET and JAVA,....

so for ABAP stack only, AE will not be there........

RE , yes it do exist, but not sure how useful it will be for customer, as it actually call PFCG when generating role..

so yes, it is also good option, however i will recommend use of RT over RE....

Surpreet,

that was just supposed to be a comment on the side

My main point is that this discussion seems to be going into the wrong direction - I think nobody should go for 4.0 without a VERY good reason to do that right now.

Frank.

Hi Frank,

Yes I totally agree with you ..

At same cost customer can have GRC AC 5.3, then why go for less......

Regards,

Surpreet

thank you all for your suggestions.

if you say that we should consider going for grc 5.3, we dont have any nw 7.0 system other than solution manager.

Can i use my Solution manager for GRC 5.3 and connect the backend ecc 5.0 systems. Is that a good practise.

Please let me know

Thanks

I never said anything about 4.0 not having a AE or RE!!!

Just a comment on the side... I am all for 5.3 or 10.0 (if I can get my hands on it)

Regards,

Chinmaya

Shannon,

That is technically possible. The only problem will be "resource constraint" GRC can be pretty resource intensive.

Have a look at the sizing guide too, that would give you an idea if you can use your SolMan with GRC or not.

Do you have just one ECC and Solman system in your landscape? or will there be more?

Regards,

Chinmaya

Yeah i have got one Solman. And Ecc 5.0 DEV,QA,PRD.

Thanks

Thank you all
