Network Communication Partners

Under Network Communication Partners, we include the Customizing activities for configuring SNC options when using SAPlpd, RFC, CPIC, and for maintaining information specific to the external security product.

Printing using SAPlpd

To assign SNC names to SAPlpd printers, use the activity:

• Maintain printer

  See Configuring SNC: Printing.

RFC Remote Function Call

The following activities apply to using SNC with RFCs:

• Define RFC destination

  Perform this activity to define RFC destinations (transaction SM59). See Configuring SNC: Using RFC from SAP Systems.

• Define SNC information of RFC destination

  Perform this activity to define the SNC options for RFC destinations (transaction SM30, view RFCDESSECU). See Configuring SNC: Using RFC from SAP Systems.

CPIC

The following activities apply to using SNC with CPICs:

• Define CPIC Destinations

  Perform this activity to define CPIC destinations (transaction SM54). For more details, see Configuring SNC: Using CPIC from SAP Systems.

• Define SNC information of CPIC destination

  Perform this activity to define the SNC options for CPIC destinations (transaction SM30, view TXCOMSECU). See Configuring SNC: Using CPIC from SAP Systems.

External Security Systems

The following activities apply to maintaining information that is relevant to the external security system:

• Import user from external security system (planned)

  This activity is currently still in development.

• Export user for external security system

  Perform this activity to export user information (SNC name) from the SAP system into a file that can be read and used by the external security product's user maintenance (report RSUSR402).

• Check canonical SNC names

  This activity runs the report RSSNCCHK, which collects and displays the SNC names that are contained in the various SNC-relevant tables in the SAP system. It performs consistency checks and makes sure that the SNC names exist in canonical form. If names are not represented in canonical form, but can be converted, then it automatically transforms them. Names that cannot be converted are displayed and indicated as such so that you can correct or delete them.
