UME configuration, ABAP read only

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We installed SAP ECC 6.0 with java engine and configured GRC 5.3 with windows 2003 and Oracle 10.2.0.4.0. Everything works perfect except the UME configuration.

Our requirement is to have a UME which has read only access to ABAP engine., means, The users you create in the java engine should stay only in the Java engine. It should not get reflected in the ABAP engine. on the other hand ABAP users can be seen/edited in the Java engine. The reason for this requirement is to control the licensing of the ABAP users.

The Identity management has ABAP as its data source. The configuration file for the ABAP data source is dataSourceConfiguration_abap.xml. When we change to some other data source, the j2ee engine is not starting with the error code -11113(the java VM terminated with non-zero error exit code)

We need to change this to dataSourceConfiguration_r3.xml., as per Link: [Data Source Configuration Files|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/01644e7af25285e10000000a1553f7/content.htm]

your suggestion will be rewarded with points

Hi Kasi,

If you connect the UME of a Java engine to ABAP, then all the users are stored in the ABAP R/3 engine.

The best possible way ahead is :

1) switch the UME to local DB.

2) create all users that you want there.

3) connect again to the ABAp UME.

The advantage of this is that the users in the local DB will not be shown in the R/3. However, the users that are in ABAP can be seen in the J2EE engine. You can use dataSourceConfiguration_r3_rw.xml so that you can edit the ABAP users as well.
