Custom Rules upload in 5.3

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a proof of concept project for GRC 5.3 implementation and have configured the GRC RAR as per the config Guide and the Rule upload was done accordingly. In the configrued system, I am seeing the GLOBAL Rule set and all the rules generated against it.

The real problem started when I started to load the custom Rule Files (BP,Functions.txt etc etc ) for all the custom rules we plan to use. I tried to load the custom Files from CONFIGURATION tab -> RULE UPLOAD.

- I am seeing some error messages and now I dont know if I have damaged the existing rules and need to fix the Global itself ?

- How do I bring in the customized Text Files for Rules ?

Thanks,

Farah

Alpesh,

when I go to the Configuration -> Rule Upload and start the upload according to the sequence there is no option which asks me if I am uploading this for GLOBAL or the Custom .

The risk-ruleset relationship file gets uploaded at a later stage in the sequence of Files. So please help me understand what tells it which Ruleset to use ?

Thanks a lot.

Sorry, my mistake. Are you trying to upload BP file with same business process ID as global ruleset? That is the problem. Either you can change the BP ID or don't upload the BP file. Only upload the files where it requires relationship with the ruleset or the files which contain different data then global rule set files.

Hope this helps.

Farah,

Please refer to SAP note 1113248 for uploading multiple rule set.

The SAP Note '0001113248' does not exist

That sounds reasonable and understandable.

Do I still need to manually create the ABCD Ruleset with decription as Custom OR just proceed with the upload directly without this manual step ?

It will be better if you create one manually and make sure to relate it with the new files while uploading.

Hello Alpesh,

So if I am understanding it right, I should manually create a new Rulesset from the Rule Architect tab and for the decription call it custom

and then start uploading the Rules against it .

I will try it now and see if I can upload it without any errors or warning.

Thanks,

Yes, Farah. That is exactly what you need to do. You are trying to upload same information again in Global rule set and that is why you are getting this error.

I could upload the Files and generated the Rules also.

When I look in Rules Architect -> Permission Rules

I dont see my custom Ruleset in the options. Why is that so ? Am I missing anything ?

Farah

I can see the custom Ruleset but not permissions or critical actions against it. I will try to figure it out but my oringinal problem of upload is definitely solved.

Thanks a lot Alpesh !!

Farah,

It doesn't seem that you have affected global rule set. If you want to create a custom rule set then first add a new rule set and name it as custom. Now, associate all the files with this ruleset while uploading and you will be fine.
