User Management 

It is often necessary to specify different security policies for different types of users. For example, your policy may specify that individual users who perform tasks interactively have to change their passwords on a regular basis, but not those users under which background processing jobs run.

You require technical users for the following tasks in Personnel Time Management:

·        To upload time events from the external time recording system you use the RPTCC106 report (HR-PDC: Download Upload Request for Time Events). You will normally schedule the report as a background processing job. For this you require a technical user. The authorizations of the technical user should be based on the authorizations for the PT80 transaction (Subsystem Connection).

Time events are uploaded from the subsystem by an IDOC, which stores the time events in the CC1 TEV interface table. For the upload, you require a technical user with authorizations for communication with an SAP system via Application Link Enabling (ALE) and the required table authorizations. The technical user does not require authorizations specific to the SAP HR solution.

You require a technical user with authorizations for the PT45 transaction (HR-PDC: Post Person Time Events) for the background processing job that transfers the time events from the interface table to the relevant Time Management tables.

·        You require two types of technical users for BAPIs that store data in one of the PTEXDIR, PTEX2000, PTEX2003, or PTEX2010 interface tables.

¡        To fill the interface tables, you require a user with authorizations for ALE communication with an SAP system and the relevant table authorizations.

¡        For the subsequent background processing job to transfer data from the interface tables to the infotype database tables, you require a technical user with the same authorizations that are required for the CAT6 transaction (Transfer Time Data to Time Management).

¡        For technical users for the BAPIs that have read access to the infotypes, you can use the same authorizations as contained in the SAP_HR_PT_TIME-ADMINISTRATOR role.

·        You also require technical users for all other ALE scenarios and BAPIs in Personnel Time Management.
