RAR: Global Rule set

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am wondering if the latest global rule set contains the tcodes, authorization objects and values based on the latest version of SAP? If yes, can this global rule set be applicable for SAP version 4.7 ?

Thanks,

Debbie

Hello Debbie,

Remember SAP send rule set with every support pack.

So if you UNCAR the latest SP for 4.7, it will contain latest rule set.

Usually rule set is same for all version of SAP i.e. 4.6c, WAS 620, 640, 700.

Hi Surpreet,

I have a question.

As per you the rule set is same for all the releases. like ECC 6.0 and 4.7

How will the latest rule set support the 4.7 because the new ECC 6.0 have lot many new tcodes.

Even there is difference of objects and T-codes between 4.7 and ECC 6.0.

HOw will updating the rule set with the latest version help to do the risk analysis for 4.7 systems.?

Let me know if i missed something.

Hello Rajesh,

Hope this information from SAP helps you.RAR Rule Update - Documentation

It is not possible to programmatically send out updates to the default ruleset (i.e. via transports or STMS).

This is because rule uploads only overwrite and not append. As every company should have made changes to their ruleset, SAP cannot send out rule updates as this would overwrite the customization done by each company

Since the SAP acquisition of Virsa, there have been seven updates to the supplied ruleset which are described in detail in SAP notes below.

1061380 u2013 Q2 2006

1035070 u2013 Q1 2007

1083611 u2013 Q3 2007

1173980 u2013 Q2 2008

1326497 u2013 Q2 2009

1446680 u2013 Q2 2010

1604722 u2013 Q3 2011

These notes provide a company a detailed Word document that summarizes the changes made.

The company must go through these changes to evaluate if they agree with the SAP supplied change.

If they agree, the company will have to make the change manually via the Rule Architect.

Debbie,

The global ruleset was updated as of Q2-2008 so it should contain tcodes for ECC 6.0. It should work with 4.7 without any problem.
