Hi Experts,
Is it possible to set authorization to execute infopaks only without access to change the settings like input values for data selection?
I set 'execute' less 'maintain' rights but then, I won't be able to even enter into the infopak setting screen where I launch the upload. seems that execute requires maintain. Pls could you confirm, thanks.
regards,
pascal
Request clarification before answering.
Hi Pascal,
I'm not sure if you can do this or not. But, one workaround I can suggest is,
1> Schedule the InfoPack with required selections based on a EVENT.
2> Whoever wants to just execute the InfoPack and not change selections, required no auth to the InfoPack maintenance. Instead they(I assume users) can be provided with access to SM64 to raise that particular event to run the InfoPack.

Sree

Dear Sree,
A valuable suggestion indeed. Points awarded!
The problem is, infopackage settings like period needs to be flexible and depends on users requirements. I'm not sure if that means I've to create all events for all combinations of user requirements?? sounds very high maintenance will be required using this method.
Hope to hear what is the best practice from SAP as adopted by the world of BW customers.

Hi Pascal,
You mentioned that users shd not be able to edit the selections, in the initial post.
Still, it is possible. There is a option of choosing the selection values using a ABAP routine in InfoPack. Here is a solution using this method.
1> Maintain a Transparent Database table which can store selections for the variables that will be used in InfoPacks
2> Create a Program/Transaction which will update the above table with the values input by the users
3> In Infopack, configure selection to fetch data from this table using the ABAP routine option
Using these steps, the selections can be changed dynamically, without modifying the InfoPackage itself and the whole concept of infopackage will be Transparent to the users. But, this required lil more maintenance activities.
Regards,
Sree
