Masking sensitive data in the messages?

[Former Member]

All,

We are getting some sensitive data from a legacy system that needs to be imported into R/3. There is a translation service - that translates the sensitive data into public format.

The question i have is - though we will be able to use XI to call this translation service and translate and then send the translated values to R/3, how can we mask the sensitive data on the messages that would be logged in the XI system. (Like if somebody runs the SXMB_MONI - they will be able to see the sensitive data that was sent to get the public format back).

Is there a setting or way - we can accomplish this in XI?

Thanks.

Hi,

you have to restrict user access to certain messages.

Go through this blog to see how to accomplish this:

<a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/01/02/xi-sxmbmoni--controlling-access-to-message-display: SXMB_MONI - controlling access to message display</a>

Also have a look at this link to understand which are all the possible points you should protect:

Let me ask some questions ...

How is the legacy system sending data to XI ?

How is XI invoking the translation service?

Is it possible to invoke the translation from within an adapter module of XI ?

Thanks,
