Is it possible to give a user rights in SM35 to delete only their batch jobs? Is it appropriate to allow users to delete batch jobs?

Use the auth object S_BDC_MONI to control what BDC sessions are available.

Use value DELE.

I personally would not allow end users to delete BDC sessions.

Thank you J C. I have a supervisor who insists that I give one of his users rights to delete her own batch jobs. He feels it's not productive if she has to call IT to delete a job for her. I also don't feel end users should delete BDC sessions.

Depending upon what programs are creating the BDC sessions, simply

deleting the sessions can have a significant impact upon your

system. What if the BDC is for some master data that other programs

are dependent on ? It would then be very unproductive for your IT

staff to be tracking this down when programs begin to fail because

a user decided to delete the BDC rather than correct the typo in the

BDC session.

Hi Rose,

Users can be right to delete their own batch jobs.

BDC jobs create entries in database as well as in the operating system.

Users deleting the Batch job from SM35 will not reorg the files in the OS

The OS log file growing large can cause problem.

Hence it is mandatory to schedule standard housekeeping job using program

RSBDCREO. This program will take of reorganizing the files.

Hi Jayaraman,

Thank you for your response. Can you tell me how I make it so they can delete only their own jobs? When I assign the right dele, they can then delete other users' jobs.

Hi,

There is a way. Implement some naming convention for Session name

so that they can be identified with the user.

For example :

BDC_<name>_<number> ; number = 1 up serial number and name is user name

then Incorporate the following in the user profile.

Auth object S_BDC_MONI

Maintained Batch Input Authorizations - give *

Session name - restrict only to session of the user. (BDC_<name>_*
