Push License attributes in IDM8 to ABAP System

[akanksha_pandey]

Hi,

Could you please help me with the process of pushing license data from IDM 8.0 to ABAP system.

Hi, you would have to determine the license value somehow, and then push it to the ABAP system.

That's what I said above - it's not hard to push it, but you need to define the logic for how to determine the license type to provision.

You could have a process that looks at what roles are assigned, and based on a role attribute Z_LICENSE_VALUE for instance, you could assign a value to each role, then calculate the appropriate license type for the user, and set that. run that as a periodic job. That's just one way - there are many many ways of doing this, but it all comes down to what data you have, what your processes are and how you have automated things...

Your question didn't quite make it clear what you were after - you could add a little more detail that you are after the logic to populate, and not the technical config. It reads like you are after the attribute to populate, not specifically how to populate it...

The main issue is how to figure out which license type to push... you could tie it into your IdM business role setup. I don't think it would have to be repository specific, but that's something only you can decide, based on your setup.

Technically, you use the uclassLicType attribute in the to-abap pass to write it to SAP.

Also, don't forget to add it to the list of fields that trigger ABAP user update.

Hi Henrik,

Thanks for the reply.

We just wanted to add the license data while the user is getting provisioned to the ABAP system.

I’m aware about the attribute uClassLicType but not sure about how to set the value for this attribute.

Thanks.

Hi Anil,

I guess I can, did it some time ago. It's pretty much all customizing, reading the license data from ABAP systems, keeping it client specific and writing it back using client specific attributes.

What's your question?

Regards,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply.

Just wanted to know the stepwise process of how to fetch the license data into IDM and then push it back to ABAP system while user provisioning (basically how to start with this process of licensing).

Thanks
