You use OLSPs to assign systems and system-specific organization parameters at the global level, rather than at the rule level. This facilitates the assignment of rule criteria when common systems or system parameters must be assigned to several rules.
OLSPs enable individual organizations to run tests using a common set of rules but with their own organization-specific systems and values.
If you want to extract test data from the SAP backend system for company code US01:
You define an organization USA in Process Control. The USA organization is responsible for company code US01 in the SAP backend system PRD.
You have 12 rules that extract data for company US01.
Instead of defining the system value as PRD and the company code value as US01 in the rule criteria for all 12 rules, you can assign the system and criteria value at the OLSP level. Then you assign the OLSP to the organization USA. When you execute the rule, it captures the OLSP value for the company code in the rule criteria.
Note
OLSPs can only be used for rules of type GRC Configurable, GRC Programmed, and GRC 2.5 (only applicable to Legacy Automated Monitoring rules).
For SAP Business Suite, the following rule criteria are valid OLSPs:
