Writing back infotype 0105 to SAP HCM (Cummunication IdM to HCM)

[Former Member]

Hi everyone!

I could not find any information about communication between IdM and HCM (IdM to HCM) in this SAP Help page: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/34/4d2339476f49bd8fb9769941c48250/content.htm

How is the mentioned BADI called from IdM? Over VDS, over HTTP, over RFC, via a HCM connector in IDM?

The otherway around (HCM to IdM) seems clear to me, this is better documented.

Thx,

Raphael

Hello Raphael,

           if you wish to update the HCM system from IdM then you need
to connect it to IdM as a Business Suite ABAP system and run an
initial load to populate IdM with the required information of the
system.

Please refer to the guide:

SAP NetWeaver Identity Management for SAP System Landscapes:
Configuration Guide ->

4.10 Assigning Function Set Privileges to Users for SAP Business Suite
Applications

The privilege PRIV:FUNCTION_SET then once assigned to the user will
allow you to update the user from IdM. This triggers update to Badis
in the HCM system.

IDM data changes are written back to the HR infotypes is realized via a
BADI (BADI_EXTEND_IDENTITY) implementation. For the HR data update we
ship a standard example implementation via class
CL_BADI_IDM_HR_COMMUNICATION.

See the guide at link

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-17048

Developer Guide
Extending the SAP Provisioning Framework

for more information on the logic this uses.

Once setup you must modify the Modify business suite hook task to
send the attribute for the infortype (MX_FS attribute) that you wish
to update in the HCM system.

Please note that this does not come standard therefore you may need
the assistance of a Hr developer familiar with Badis. Also see the
SCN thread

Hope it helps.

Chris,

I'm trying to find this "Configuration Guide, Section 4.10" that you are referring to in this point. The only thing I can find with this title only has three sections. Can you link to the document you're referring to? I'm working on a job with this exact implementation and I need to do some trouble shooting. Thanks.

Hello Brandon,

I did some digging, so there you go: Assigning Function Set Privileges to Users for SAP Business Suite Applications - SAP NetWeaver Ident...

Or is this the one you already found? The guide itself is linked in the IDM documentation overview page, that is accessable from the space homepage.

Regards,

Steffi.

That does seem to be what is being referred to but that section is 3.9 in the document, not 4.10 as Chris' post says so I thought I was missing something.

Also, does anyone have a PDF of the Rev. 11 of this document? The latest I have is Rev. 8 and when I try to download using the link on SAP's web page, it tries to create the PDF for download and promptly fails.

I remembered seeing someone reporting that in the support space and found it here:

I hope they fix it soon, because it is a pretty helpful feature. I don't have a downloaded version, sorry.   Since Chris' answer is almost a year old, maybe the newly added content made some shifting necessary, so the current chapters don't match anymore.
