OPEN DATASET AUTHORIZATION

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Below is my scenario.

We are creating a program to print invoice from SAP. User wants to save the same invoice in PDF format in the OS level. We are using open dataset query to save the file in OS level.

The users wants a READ ONLY access to this folder in his desktop.

SAP User ID and Windows ID are the same and available in ADS.

I have done the below to achieve this.

1. Create Folders in the OS level.

2. Assign Full access to SAP Computer and administrator.

3. Assign Read only access to the users who is going to execute this transaction and Map the folder to their desktop.

When we try to execute, Open Dataset throws an error stating that file could not be open. But when i give everyone authorization to folder with full access, the file is successfully saving in the OS level, but this is defeating the purpose of the requirement "User should have only READ access.

Is there any work around for this issue?

Best Regards,

Raj

Hello Rajagopalan,

even if you give full access to dataset, user wont be able to modify the PDF untill you write some logic to modify the pdf in program.

Hi All,

I am closing this thread as we found the correct authorization group at the folder level. We assigned SAPservices"SID"  to the folder with full access and removed everyone. It worked fine. I am closing this thread.

Best Regards,
