GRC 10 want to extend our ruleset for use by another connector

[Former Member]

Hello. We migrated our RAR ruleset from 5.3 to 10.0 and it is working for on our original connector (our SBX). Now we would like to use that same ruleset for a new connector (our QAS). I do not see a way to do any mass maintenance for this. There is a mass maintance for functions where I can add a new system, but it appears I have to do it one function at a time. Is there a better way? I thought about transforming my original export files to modify the connector name, but wasn't sure if that would work since connector isn't one of the fields offered for transformation.

Would appreciate any suggestions from the experts!

Hi Heraleen,

If you have already uploaded the rule set against one system, you should be able to Export/Download the GRC Rule set into the 9 seperate text files via SPRO>GRC>AC>ARA>SOD Rules > Download SoD Rules in GRC 10.0 and then just simply upload these up against the new QAS connected system via the "Upload SoD Rules" option.

Having said that, why don't you create a Logical System "Non-Prod" and assign all your non-prod systems against that Logical connector and then just upload the ruleset against that Logical Connector. This will save database space for the generated rules.

Interesting suggestion about logical system. As for your other suggestion, I do not see an option to "download SOD rules" offered in SPRO -- only "upload SOD rules". Hmm. I found on Idea Please this has been logged as an enhancement:

In the meantime I figured out how to load. I took the export files created in 5.3 and manually modified (witha global replace in Notepad) the connector then ran GRAC_DATA_MIGRATION for only the FUNCTION_ACTIONdata.dat and FUNCTIONAL_PERMISSIONdata.dat (append mode selected). Then I generated the ruleset, and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks for your input!

Hi,

I assume you are on SP05/6, as SAP seemed to have forgotten to add this transaction and option to the system and SPRO menue respectivly.

Refer to SAP note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1610073 to fix this issue.
