distribution of (PFCG) roles on several ERP systems

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

let's assume we have 1 system where roles are beeing developed and distributed from (single source of truth) and we want to dsitribute it to several other ERP systems (including dev, quality assurance and prod systems). What possibilities do you see to more or less perform this process automatically ? Is it possible to distribute them via ALE ? I have not found an IDOC type for this. How would you distribute all Z-Roles on other systems ?

Thanks !

Hi Max,

The possible options for you are:

1. Download and upload the roles in each develoment system, re-generate the profile and transport the roles across the landscape.

2. Using the RFC function, read the role from a source system.

You can refer the below SAP help document that provides your mode information:

Hi,

there is no standard IDoc for roles so unless you develop your own then you can't use ALE. I don't think that it's worth the effort to develop your custom IDoc. Raghu mentioned two standard methods provided by SAP. I think you could set up transport path from your single system to each development system and then to other systems. You would use it only for roles.

Cheers
