Production system readonly

[SAPSupport]

Hello Team

We are planning to migrate to s4/hana, so after migration some users might need to have access to the productive system to check historical data. So is there any possibility to start the database in read-only mode or how can we restrict users to make any changes in the system, they just need to view the data, how can we achieve this, please suggest on this.

Regards

Hello,

from user admin side you can try to remove any modification action from all roles which contain authorization objects with the field 'ACTVT'. Still there could be transactions, which do not explicite check such objects. You could also lock any t-code with update function, for which a similar t-code with only display function exist (example: FB01,FB02-->FB03).

Personally I would recommend, rather to 'freeze' the former PRD system and do not allow any access to it.
You could create a copy of the actual state and allow access only to the copy. Once you have created a client transport, you could import that CC for instance monthly again, so that the actual status is accessible still, also if some users have performed changes to that copied system.

Maybe other admins have further suggestions, especially for the question on DB-functions.

A system state 'readonly' is not available anymore since SAP R/2 unfortunately.

Hello Bernhard Thanks for the information and do we have any feature other than restricting the roles, is there a way to restrict the schema which being used to make that schema read only / display? so that users cannot make any changes in the system?
