To load SAP privileges data into a CA GovernanceMinder configuration

  1. Create a new database in your MS-SQL Server for the purpose of importing SAP authorization information into CA GovernanceMinder.
  2. Import the SAP tables into the new database.

    The relevant tables are: USR02, AGR_AGRS, AGR_USERS, AGR_1251, AGR_1252 and their names must be identical to those written here.

  3. Click Import, Import from SAP.

    The Importing from SAP dialog appears.

  4. In the Server Name Text field Insert the name of the MS-SQL server you are using.
  5. In the DataBase Name text field, insert the name of the database you are using for the SAP data.
  6. Click Test Connection to verify that the connection details are valid.
  7. In the MANDT Value text field, enter the MANDT identifier value for the SAP environment that you wish to convert. If you do not know the value contact your SAP administrator.
  8. Choose the type of Mapping to use from the available mapping scheme options.
  9. If you select Map authorization objects as resources click Choose Fields.

    The FieldsForm window opens.

  10. Select which fields should be used to generate CA GovernanceMinder resources.
  11. If you have separate tables in the database that contain the lists of simple and/or composite roles then enter their names in the respective Simple Role Table and Composite Role Table text fields. The table must only contain the role name as its data.
  12. Select the respective check box if you have roles linked to either Users or Authorization Objects (AO) that do not appear in the role hierarchy.

    In these cases, the converter will not be able to tell whether they are simple or composite. You may choose how to treat them. The default is to treat them as simple roles.
