DMS -Inconsistency in Browser ACL activation & Its solution

[Prasath]

Dear Readers,

Hope all are safe !!!

In this Blogs I will show share insight on SAP DMS ACL activation, Inconsistency & solution.  In ACL activation we could see that there are three check box which are below,

 

Transaction code - DCSWTCH

1. Browser flag

2. ACL flag

3. Edit ACL

 

Basically ACL flag will be used for controlling individual document info record  in terms of authorization apart from Standard authorization object. Once above field is activated we could the see one new tab in CV01N,CV02N and CV03N. Apart from transaction and authorization object level controlling of DIR addition to that below activity can also be get controlled against user name and  if we use ACL functionalities which are below during creation of DIR,

Admin

Read only

Delete

Write etc.

 

Also below check box must be flagged to get ACL in CV01N/02/03.

DC10:

DC10 configuration

In some rare cases even with above configuration said functionalities will not work due to below reason,

• Inconsistency in table TDWSWITCH

In above table we could see always One entry for area CV but in some cases entry will be there without the area of CV

 To delete blank entry in above table below program to be used or  if we have authorizations to delete the same entry in table level can be used.

SE38 : Z_HOPFC_SWITCH  by executing of this program dummy area entry will get deleted from table. So that inconsistency will be cleared.

Also In some cases will not work ACL activation due to below check box will not flagged in EA-PLM application also it could be not editable. To clear this inconsistency we need execute program SFW_CHECK_EA_SWITCHES So that  inconsistency will get fixed & check box will get flagged.(After this the entry EA-PLM should still be ReadOnly in FIBF but it should appear as flagged.) (Table - TBE11)
