How do I implement the Trading Partner Directory (STPD) to fetch list of companies from ECC server. I read thru the SAP help but could not get much out of it.
I was looking through SDN for a similar solution and it seems you found the solution to your original response. Now, I was wondering if you could share it?
I've tested the new R3GroupTPD in 7.30 portal for using UserGroups in ABAP system as Companies in the portal. Now, the problem I have is that we need to implement a similar feature for a 7.02 SP12 based system.
I know that I need to implement the TPD interface, but before starting that journey it would be good to get a few pointers from someone who already has been partly down that road
I would like to note that we are going to use this feature to limit the number of users users can see when e.g. forwarding in UWL.
It's been a while since you posted your request and response, but I hope you can find some time to answer my post. I'm more than willing to repost my question in a new thread for you to answer (and be rewarded for)!
Thanks for your swift reply, Sandip. However, I'd really appreciate some more details - especially about in what context/scenario you implemented the fix. Our problem has 2 components:
1) The source for Companies in portal must be Auth.Groups (transaction SUGR) in ABAP UME (not read a UME property)
2) Then UWL must read the relationship between user and auth.group as defined in SU01 in ABAP UME (no maintainance in the portal IDM)
Our mission is to move all user administration into ABAP UME, so we cannot rely on any user administration in the portal.
So, implementing the TPD interface to read some source, I fear it will only solve the first half of the problem. The second half, making UWL read and evaluate what Auth.group/company you belong to is probably not possible to solve in 7.02 portal.
In reality, what we're after is to implement delegated user administation in ABAP UME and have the portal adhere to that.
As mentioned, we have solved this in 7.31 portal because there is added support via the SAP standard delivered class "com.sap.security.core.tpd.abap.R3GroupTPD" which reads the authorizations groups and the configured auth.group in SU01 to solve the delegation issue in UWL.
We solved our issue by adding the "company" field (<attribute name="company"/>) in the ume (dataSourceConfiguration_abap.xml file). Now we can assign company by assigning a company in SU01. We'll keep the company strings in the UME property as this set of values more or less is static.
