SAP Profile Generator tables

Subject: Profile Generator tables?
From: Paul Ellis

We maintain profiles in a Development system using Profile Generator, but only transport the authorisation profile and not the activity group to Staging/Production.

We are about to refresh the Development system with a copy of Production. What tables do I need to export from Development prior to the refresh, and later re-import, to ensure that Profile Generator is able to maintain the activity groups created in Development?

Thanks in advance.

user masters: USR01 to 09, UST04,
profiles: USR10, USR11, UST10S, UST10C,
authorisations: USR12, USR13, UST12.
password exceptions USR40.
History tables(may not be applicable but FYI): users: USH02, USH04,
profiles: USH10, auths USH12.

activity groups are stored in table PLOGI along with loads of other object types. the activity groups are object type T.
You could export the table data with a manual transport request via SE01, using R3TR TABU and specify the keys to use for all objects of type T(ie all activity groups). Remember to include all clients in the selection.

OR, if you are using the client copy functions to refresh you DEV from PROD, then you could use the RSCCEXCT (see OSS note 70290) to list all these tables and exclude them from the copy, hence the corresponding original DEV tables should not be overwritten in DEV.
I suggest you export a transport request with with all these tables from DEV just in case, so you can re-import them again if it goes pear shaped.
In 3.x I don't think the activity group names involve client number or SID, but I've heard some differences in 4.6 - Guy Holchester has sent many notes to the list about it - have a look at the archives, but I think as long as you aren't copying between different versions (eg from Prod 4.6 to Dev 3.x, or vice versa) then it should be OK.

If you choose to re-import the tables from transport requests, you might want to run the sync tool in the target client (DEV) afterwards - ie run function module SUSR_SYNC_USER_TABLES, or run SU30, just to check for any dodgy links or inconsistencies.

Also, if you are re-importing user masters too, run RSSODELT and RSSOUSER to recreate all SAPOffice mailboxes and link them to the new user IDs in the target client.

hope this helps.
cheers,
Mike

I would use RHMOVE30 and create a transport of your activity groups. To be safe test import the activity groups to QAS prior to refreshing DEV with PRD. Then once you have completed the refresh import the transport you created. For more info on this look at the Authorization is made easy guide available online on page 11-6 release 4.0b.

Remember to run SUPC after you import to regenerate the profiles.
