Filter on SAP ABAP Initial Loads

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm trying to put a filter on the pass "ReadABAPuser" of an ABAP Initial Load. My SAP ABAP System has over 10000 users and I need only part of them.

I tried so to add "FILTER" entry (as on ReadABAProle for example) on Source tab of the pass "ReadABAPuser" with value "A*".

But seems the pass does not make attention of this FILTER and still request the full user list.

Do you have met this issue ?

Thanks for your help,

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

well, I've never worked with the pass attribute FILTER for the pass type "FromSAP". Therefore, I'm not sure about the following - but maybe it's a starting point for further investigation...

I believe that it works differently for different data types:

Roles: simple filter value which filters for the role name (you can use *)

Roles, if you connect to a CUA central system: not supported

Users: it seems to work with a multivalue name=value syntax.

Conclusion: I guess it is easier to filter users in the source tab of the ToPass "WriteABAPUsers".

Kind regards

That's right ... so much easier. Actually that is the way is use today. But I was looking for something more performant.

I will try by the way "name=value" as filter and let you know about the results.

Thanks,

Benjamin,

Were you able to get this working in the ReadABAPUsers pass. I would like to try something similar.

Thanks for your time.
