You must ensure that at least the central system contains complete information about all valid company addresses, then distribute the information to all child systems. The result is consistent company addresses data in the entire central user administration (CUA).
The CUA is installed and functioning.
All company addresses have already been created with User Company Address Maintenance (transaction SUCOMP) in the CUA system landscape.
The company addresses are synchronized from the central system.
Before implementing CUA, you have maintained company address data in many systems in your landscape. With this procedure, you ensure that every cross-system company address key is unique and that company addresses with the same name contain the same data in all systems of the CUA.
If you set the indicator Test run (without updates), the errors are only displayed. If you actually run the report, the errors are detected and corrected; that is, instead of an incorrect address, the system creates a technically correct address with no content.
The Central User Administration Structure Display screen appears.
CUA: Synchronization of the Company Addresses appears, on which the system displays a list comparing the company addresses of the child system that you have selected with those of the central system. All company addresses held either in the central or child system are displayed in the list. The possible address categories are displayed under Overview. By clicking a category, you can jump to the relevant sub list.
Category | Description |
---|---|
In Central System Only |
These company addresses exist only in the central system. You can distribute them immediately by choosing Distribute to Child System or allow them to be distributed automatically later, during the synchronization. |
In child system only |
These company addresses exist only in the child system, but not in the central system. You have the following options:
|
Different company addresses |
These company addresses exist in both the central and the child system and have the same company address key, but are differ in the first two fields of the company name. You must therefore check the cross-system address key for consistency. To do this, compare the detail displays for the central and child systems for all of the company addresses listed here, either by double clicking the address or using User Company Address Maintenance (transaction SUCOMP) in the relevant system. The following results are possible:
|
Identical company addresses |
These company addresses exist both in the central and in the child system, and the first two fields of the company name match. You must compare the company address data (for example, you can display the data for an address by double clicking the address, and then display the data for the second address), and choose one of the following options:
|
Company addresses already synchronized |
This is the result display that is only filled during the synchronization. All of the company addresses are originally contained in one of the above categories. |
The CUA: Synchronization of the Company Addresses screen appears.
A log appears that displays whether the distribution has been started for each company address.
All company addresses are listed under Company Addresses Already Synchronized with information about the distribution result, which is explained using the Legend.
You can now transfer the users of a child system to the central system.
