What would be convenient way to backup mass roles details from GRC ?

[suvonkar_bashak]

Hello SCN folks,

For a GRC 10.1 environment where in, there are 100k plus roles maintained, what would be an ideal & convenient way to backup the roles details, periodically? Since the volume is high a direct export would result in timeout and huge overhead in the system.

Following is the generic steps to export one or multiple role details from GRC:

Access Management work center-> Role Management->Role maintenance screen -> Choose one or multiple roles as per search parameter, Landscapes -> Click on to "Role Details Export" -> Select all attributed to be exported -> Click on "Export"

Regards,

Suvonkar

What is your purpose for performing a back up of the roles?

Hi Colleen,

To maintain a backup of all the changes made to the Role & profile attributes periodically in the large & dynamic SAP environment. And for backing up new roles & attributed getting added-up in GRC for provisioning & risk simulation.
Approver details changes: the backup also acts as a repository for reference for previous approvers.

Hi Suvonkar,

all the information you have mentioned above are stored in standard GRC tables, so maybe this an option for you - backup the tables periodically. There could be a problem with one attribute - detailed description, but it is not on your list...

Best regards, Andrzesj

Hi Andrzej,

Yes, the copy will be with custom option, which will include all the attributes.
I just gave few examples of the attributes.
