LSMW / Business Users

[Former Member]

I have a LSMW that is loading customers using a recording. In the future we would like a business user to run the LSMW.

Three options

1) Periodic LSMW running /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_INTERFACE

2) LSMW Transaction

3) ABAP Program

Could use some advice on authorizations and which path is best.

Option 1 - Periodic/running

program /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_INTERFACE

I would need to make sure they could only run their project. The program seem to run Read/Convert Pgm/Create BDC all at once. The business user didn't get a chance to look at the data before loading it.

Option 2 - LSMW Transaction

I would need to make sure they could only run their project and no changes to the LSMW recording etc...

(execute only). Looking into the object B_LSMW_PRO.

Wondering if this might be a good way.

Option 3 - Create an ABAP Program

What was the purpose of doing the LSMW, if I going to have to Create a program.

Hello Linda,

I believe you should proceed with option 2.

Provide the Authorization for object B_LSMW_PRO. but check can you do it only in display mode.

For this you have to specify a definate path either one dedicated presentation server directory OR make a process to transfer the upload file to Application Server by other process ( say FTP file transfer )

Thanks
