UI-Masking reports and Selects protection

[Former Member]

Could you help me please with one question about UI Masking. We are masking DATA on the interface level and on the SE16 level. And how can we mask DATA in reports for example in sapquery or when we use SELECTs. Do we protect DATA in this situation using UI-Masking or user can see it in reports?

Dear Sergey,

UI Masking solution works based on the configuration of table name and field name. Masking can be done using the UI Masking solution in SE16 by configuring the table name and field name.

Masking in the output of the reports is also possible as long as the table name and field name can be obtained on the output screen of the report by pressing F1.

The output of the SAP query creates a ALV Grid Display. If the fields are configured, they would be masked in SAP Query as well. If a new query is created, then that tablename-fieldname needs to be configured for masking to work as the tablenames are dynamically generated for each query.

Masking in interfaces is not in the scope of the UI Masking solution. You may refer SAP Note 2110725 for other considerations when using the UI Masking solution.

Hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you want a demo of the UI Masking solution. The development team and the product owner Tobias Keller (tobias.keller@sap.com) would be happy to conduct a demo session to walk you through the UI Masking solution and take up any further queries you would have.

Regards,

Rashda

Hi Tobias,

I was tying to implement the UI masking in my current system. It was working earlier after completing the configuration in SDMSK and SRALMANAGER.

But now its does not seems to work and it always replaces the whole value with asterix.

Upon further debug I found that in program SDYNPDMSK form DMSK_DYNPRO the call to C-program AB_GET_C_PARMS does not return the P5 (Rule Name) and P6 (Rule Mask) parameters.

Can you please let me know what can be the probable root cause?

Thanks,

Sayak
