Home-made solutions:1. Password synchronisation: if user changes his password in 1 of these 3 systems, a trigger in Oracle

changes the passwords in the 2 other systems accordingly2. Automatic user-role assignment: a program in SAP Production determines from data in HR, PS, ….

the function(s) of each user and updates user-role assignments in every system

SAP-solution:CUA = central user administration (from WAS 6.20)

• Synchronisation of users between SAP-systems• Synchronisation with LDAP

No solution for automatic user-role assignment?

what does this “synchronisation” contain exactly?

FRAMEWORK: Browser-issues

SAP workplace does not and will never support NetscapeAt K.U.Leuven: 25% of K.U.Loket-users do not want to use Internet Explorer

AS-IS

All our home-made self-service applications support Netscape 6.0

!!! Lower Netscape versions do not correctly handle dynamic frames pages

Future? Enterprise Portal 5.0 would support Netscape 4.7 (but no higher versions?)TO-BE

Home made Alternative startpage= logon screen to a very simple page on Workplace server

single sign-on to SAP Production and BW

no user-specific menu

no mini-apps

no personalization

SELF-SERVICE APPLICATIONS - Planning (long term)

Finance:• My expenses

Human resources:• My payroll-data• Extra attendance registration (over-time, weekend work, …)• BW-reports on personnel (for managers)

Research:• Request for Research projects (proposals, evaluations by referees, …)• K.U.Leuven research database• My research projects (maintain)

Campus management:• Individual program of study (maintain)• Individual calendar (for students and professors)• Alumni portal


SELF-SERVICE APPLICATIONS : technology

SAPProduction

HRFI

PSCOMMSD

Function modules:• collect data from SAP• update data in SAP

ITSFlow-files:• lay-out (HTML & Javascript)• HTML-business:

• call FM in SAP via RFC• determine flow and navigation

Before

WAS(6.10)

BSP (business server pages):• lay-out (HTML & Java-script & ABAP)• ABAP-coding to perform checks and data manipulation, determine flow and call FM

Now

Future?

• Communication between WAS and SAP Production via XML? independent data structures (under investigation)

• JSP as an alternative for BSP (JAVA-coding instead of ABAP-coding) no plans to use this (K.U.Leuven has ABAP-experts, no JAVA-experts)

• WAS (6.30) will be Basis SAP of Enterprise Edition keep self-service applications on separate system or integrate in SAP-Production?
