SAP_HR_LDAP_PREPARE_EXTRACTION

Use

The role that enables a user in SAP ERP HCM to prepare the extraction of data to an LDAP-enabled directory service covers the following functions:

  • Creation of an InfoSet and a query for data extraction

    The query contains those attibutes that can be transferred using an LDAP-enabled directory service to a central identity management system, in order to be able to use relevant employee data centrally for user management and distribution to other systems (for example, SAP ERP systems).

  • Create, activate and change Business Add-In implementations

    As the data extraction can include a delta mechanism, and so can only transfer data that you retrieve for the extraction to a central indentity management system, this user role must be able to process the following BAdI implementations:

    • BAdI implementation HR_LDAP_EXTRACT_PA for BAdI definition HRPAD00INFTY

    • BAdI implementation HR_LDAP_EXTRACT_PA_ITF for BAdI definition HRPAD00INFTYDB

    • BAdI implementation HR_LDAP_EXTRACT_PD for BAdI definition HRBAS00INFTY

  • Map query fields to logical SAP data fields

    The functions for mapping query fields to logical SAP data fields simplify the retrieval and formatting processes. With this user role you can assign mnemonic names to the very technical names of the query fields.

Integration

As of SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0, the functions made available using this role have been integrated with SAP NetWeaver Identity Management. You should note that SAP NetWeaver Identity Management is not part of SAP ERP an must be in use as an additional component.
