Function documentationAutomatically Creating System Users or Business Partners Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

To ensure that the users of the managed systems can, for example, check the processing status of support messages in Solution Manager, they must be created as system users and business partners in Solution Manager. Report AI_SDK_USER_BP_GEN determines new system users in the managed systems.

You have the following options here.

  • Synchronize Solution Manager with the managed systems and list new system users:

    • As administrator, check in which managed systems new system users exist.

    • As SAP partner, you check which managed systems there are for a customer and/ or which new system users exist in a customer's managed systems.

  • If your security policy permits it, you can automatically create or update new system users and business partners in Solution Manager.

Recommendation Recommendation

Create a variant and schedule the report as a weekly background work process.

End of the recommendation.

Prerequisites

  • The ST-PI plug-in is installed in the managed systems.

  • You have an SE38 authorization.

  • System users who you want to create in Solution Manager, must be created with an e-mail address in the managed system because the e-mail address is the central user identification feature.

Activities

Starting the Report

Transaction SE38.

You go to the ABAP editor.

  1. In the Program input field, enter AI_SDK_USER_BP_GEN and choose Execute.

    This takes you to a screen in which you specify the execution options for the report.

Executing the Report
  1. To display all details, select the Report Details check box.

    To display only called RFC connections, summaries of subfunctions and error messages, remove the checkmark.

  2. To also display invalid users, to whom no e-mail address is assigned in the managed system, remove the checkmark from the Do not display skipped entries field.

  3. Enter the selection date. The report checks which users have been added since the entered date. The system date is set as the default.

  4. Under RFC Options you specify which RFC destinations the report is supposed to take into account.

  5. If no RFC connections have been generated between SAP Solution Manager and the managed systems of the solution landscape or they are not sure whether the table that manages the system landscape in Solution Manager is filled or synchronized using SMSY, select the Call RFCs using SMSY check box.

  6. To use enhanced authorizations to search for system users, select the Also use trusted RFCs check box.

    Choose this option, for example, if the report did not find the expected system users.

  7. Choose Execute.

    The report checks the RFC connections to the managed system and, depending on the execution option, also displays the following information:

    • Which systems were not reachable for which reasons (for example, no current ST-PI plug-in installed)

    • The total number of new users in each managed system, which can be processed further

    • Which new users could be identified using an e-mail address and are therefore valid

      The valid users are selected and can be automatically created as system users in Solution Manager.

      The report cannot create system users to whom no e-mail address is assigned in the managed system as system users and business partners in Solution Manager.

    • Which new users have already been created as system users and business partners in Solution Manager.

      If a business partner has already been created, the report checks whether the identification numbers in Solution Manager and in the managed systems match.

      If the identification numbers do not match, the report adds the correct identification number in Solution Manager.

      If Solution Manager is operated by an SAP partner and data separation is active, the customer number is added in addition to the identification number.

      The report shows the result in a simulation. To actually update business partners, you have to execute the report again with the execution option "Update Business Partners".

    • Which new system users and business partners the report would create because they have not been created in Solution Manager yet

      The report shows the result in a simulation. To actually create the system users and business partners, you have to execute the report again with at least one of the execution options "Create System Users" or "Create Business Partners".

    • Whether central user administration (CUA) is active

      If CUA is active, the CUA master system is displayed. In this case, the report does not create system users in Solution Manager but in CUA.

Automatically Creating System Users or Business Partners

Caution Caution

Select the check boxes for the automatic, unchecked creation of system users and business partners only if your company's security policy allows this. If not, create the system users and business partners manually.

End of the caution.

Caution Caution

You can only manually undo the creation of system users and, in particular, business partners, with corresponding manual work.

End of the caution.
  1. To create business partners automatically, select the Create Business Partner (BP) check box.

    To ensure that newly created business partners can log on to Solution Manager, they must also be created created as system users.

  2. To update the identification numbers of already created business partners, select the Update Business Partners (BP) check box.

  3. To create system users automatically

    • Select the Create System User check box

    • Define the options for generating the system users:

      • Enter the name of a template user and/or a reference user.

      • Specify whether the system user is sent his or her password for logging on to Solution Manager by e-mail.

        Caution Caution

        Select the Create info mail for new user check box only if your security policy allows passwords to be send by e-mail.

        End of the caution.
  4. Choose Execute.

    Depending on the settings, the reports creates system users and business partners or executes business partners.
