Chapter 3. Installation on SAP NetWeaver Purpose This section tells you how to install and configure the central SAP BPA server system on Windows and UNIX. You need direct access to the NetWeaver system to perform the deployment procedure described below.

Process Flow 1.

You download and deploy the ETPRJSCHEDULER_-XXXXXXXX.SCA.

2.

You assign administrative privileges to a user, via a role, in UME.

3.

You request and install a license for SAP BPA.

Deliverables File

Description

ETPRJSCHEDULER_- Scheduler software with GUI XXXXXXXX.SCA.

Required Always

You deploy the SCA file using the Java Support Package Manager (JSPM). You have to deploy the SCA file as a new software component. You deploy SDA files using Software Deployment Manager (SDM). For more information on starting JSPM, please see Starting JSPM [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/87/4797422930c56ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm]. To deploy a file using JSPM, you need to know the location of the JSPM Inbox Directory, perform the following command to detect it: sappfpar pf=:\usr\sap\\SYS\profile\__ DIR_EPS_ROOT

Note Ensure this directory only contains packages that you want to install at this moment as JSPM will install all packages in contained in this directory, by default. You can choose to skip one or more packages, the SAP BPA package is named redwood.com/&package;. You use the SCA file to deploy the following actions in AS Java: •

AccessScheduler - access SAP BPA

•

ManageScheduler - administrative privileges in SAP BPA

•

ManageSchedulerIsolation - isolation group administrator (same as scheduler-isolationadministrator role) used in combination with AccessScheduler; you are not allowed to grant the ManageScheduler action to the same role.

•

AccessSchedulerBusiness - Access SAP BPA as a Business user

4

Installation on SAP NetWeaver

•

AccessSchedulerOperations - Access SAP BPA as a technical user

•

AccessSchedulerGlobalMonitor - Access SAP BPA as a Global monitor User

•

AccessSchedulerBusinessApplicationEnabler - Access SAP BPA as a BAE user

These actions contain the permissions for SAP BPA that need to be granted to roles. You use the SDA file to deploy a scripting environment which allows you to use RedwoodScript ( see the Administration Guide ); a Java-based scripting language with a subset of Java classes. RedwoodScript can be used in a Shell as well as in jobs to interact with the central SAP BPA server. Please refer to the Administration Guide for more details. The Scripting Module is delivered with extensive API documentation, which is available when you have the Chargeable version. If you have the Chargeable version but no API documentation, please contact SAP.. Please contact your Sales Representative if you require the Scripting Module, which is shipped with the Chargeable version. Note that the following actions should not be used: •

scheduler-ear/scheduler-administrator

•

scheduler-ear/scheduler-isolation-administrator

•

scheduler.ear/scheduler-user

3.2 Creating Roles in SAP NetWeaver Use A role is a set or group of privileges that can be granted to users or other roles. Roles are part of the Security section in the navigation bar. The following core roles are provided with SAP BPA:

8

Installation on SAP NetWeaver

Core roles (always required): •

scheduler-administrator - can perform all actions, except manage isolation groups

•

scheduler-bae-only-user - indicates that the user account is restricted to logging on via the SAP Inbound interface, only.

•

scheduler-isolation-administrator - can create/edit/delete isolation groups and add users to these.

•

scheduler-screen-reader - indicates that you are using a screen reader

•

scheduler-user - has access to SAP BPA only, cannot see any objects (always required, even for administrators)

•

scheduler-viewer - read only access to all objects

The user access roles are bound to features that require a specific license key: •

scheduler-business-user - can access the business-user-centric user interface

•

scheduler-it-user - can access the it-user-centric user interface

•

scheduler-global-monitor-user - can this user use the global monitor

Predefined roles (optional): •

scheduler-event-operator - can raise events

•

scheduler-job-administrator - can create/edit/delete event definitions, process definitions, process chains and modify processes

Note The roles scheduler-business-user and scheduler-it-user are used by the Financial Process Automation module.

Note If you get an HTTP error 403 - Access Denied after logging in, your user may be lacking the scheduler-user role. These are the standard roles, it is not possible to edit the standard roles. You create a role with the corresponding name in the UME, assign it the AccessScheduler action and grant it to SAP BPA users. Once you grant these roles to users in the UME, the users will get the corresponding SAP BPA roles granted and have the privileges granted to these roles as soon as they log in or the isolation administrator adds them to an isolation group. The UME also allows you to grant SAP BPA privileges directly to roles via the following actions: •

AccessScheduler - read-only access, all roles that you want to use in SAP BPA must have this action assigned.

•

ManageScheduler - scheduler Administrator (same as scheduler-administrator role) used in combination with AccessScheduler

9

Installation on SAP NetWeaver

•

ManageSchedulerIsolation - isolation group administrator (same as scheduler-isolationadministrator role) used in combination with AccessScheduler; you are not allowed to grant the ManageScheduler action to the same role.

•

AccessSchedulerBusiness - Access SAP BPA as a Business user

•

AccessSchedulerOperations - Access SAP BPA as a technical user

•

AccessSchedulerGlobalMonitor - Access SAP BPA as a Global monitor User

•

AccessSchedulerBusinessApplicationEnabler - Access SAP BPA as a BAE user

SAP strongly recommends you start by creating the above roles in the UME and assign them the AccessScheduler action. Once that is done, you grant these roles to users. If the roles do not exactly suit your needs, create custom roles (with names that do not match the above roles) in the UME and assign them the same action; these roles will be editable in SAP BPA and allow you to extend privileges of users. Note that the following actions should not be used: •

scheduler-ear/scheduler-administrator

•

scheduler-ear/scheduler-isolation-administrator

•

scheduler.ear/scheduler-user

Accessibility SAP BPA has been tested with the JAWS screen-reader for the visually impaired. When you want to use a screenreader, you have the following options, depending on your application server: •

SAP NetWeaver - SAP UME allows you to set a property for visually impaired users, this property is supported by SAP BPA

•

Other supported application servers - you use the scheduler-screen-reader role or append &sapaccessibility=X in the URL. Note that the use of the role is highly recommended. Despite what the name might suggest, the URL parameter is supported on all supported application servers, and is designed for testing purposes.

Restricting BAE Users You have the Business Automation Enabler Module and would like to prevent a user created specifically for the BAE interface from logging-on from other interfaces (for example the web interface). You grant that user the following roles and this user will only be able to access SAP BPA via the BAE interface (SAP Inbound objects): •

scheduler-user - has access to SAP BPA only, cannot see any objects.

•

scheduler-bae-only-user - indicates that the user account is restricted to logging on via the SAP Inbound interface, only.

Granting Privileges You can grant privileges to custom roles. Custom roles are recognizable by the name (it is not allowed to be one of the above) as well as the description and comment fields, which contain Created automatically on first login. Some privileges are not dependent on a partition or isolation group, these are known as global Privileges.

10

Installation on SAP NetWeaver

You grant specific privileges to roles for each object type; available privileges are dependent on the object. These privileges are known as system privileges and are granted via the role object. There are two levels at which you can grant system privileges, Access and Admin. Privileges granted with the Admin level allow the grantee to grant the privileges to other users. You can also grant privileges for specific objects on object-level to users or roles, these are known as object privileges and are granted via the Security tab on the object. The following topics in the Security Guide and Administration Guide provide more information on privileges and how you grant them: •

System Privileges ( see the Administration Guide )

•

Object Privileges ( see the Administration Guide )

•

Granting and Revoking System Privileges ( see the Administration Guide )

•

Granting or Revoking Object Privileges ( see the Administration Guide )

Prerequisites •

3.3 Creating Users in SAP NetWeaver Use User objects represent users of the system and can have roles granted to them in order to have privileges to perform actions. Users are part of the Security section in the navigation bar. The following standard users are provided with SAP BPA: •

Redwood System - a user that represents the system.

Users are imported automatically from the SAP User Management Engine (UME) as soon as they log in for the first time and kept in sync with UME at each login. This synchronization only occurs one way, from UME to SAP BPA. Users are created in UME and cannot be created in SAP BPA. They must have the following action assigned to at least one of their roles to get access: •

AccessScheduler

Administrator users additionally have the UME role scheduler-administrator or the following action assigned to one of their roles: •

ManageScheduler

The following table lists all scheduler-related actions in the UME: The following table lists the default actions are available in SAP UME. Action

3.4 Assigning Isolation Groups in SAP NetWeaver Use With an isolation group, a user is limited to interacting with objects of the same isolation group as well as objects from the GLOBAL isolation group. You assign users to isolation groups ( see the Administration Guide ) in the Security section in the navigation bar. The user must either have the role scheduler-isolation-administrator or a custom role granted which has the ManageSchedulerIsolation action to be able to add users to an isolation group. Users can have multiple isolation groups; in this case, the user needs to choose an isolation group for the session during login.

Note In the OEM version, only one SAP client can be in an isolation group. This is governed by the value of the ProcessServerService.SAP.limit license key ( see the Administration Guide ).

Tip SAP does not recommend the use of isolation groups in the Chargeable version; these have been implemented to adhere to the limitations of the OEM version and demand a high level of configuration. You can use partitions without isolation groups and rely on partition access privileges for isolation. A user cannot view objects residing in a partition if the user cannot view the partition.

Prerequisites •

the user needs the role scheduler-isolation-administrator or a custom role granted which has the AccessScheduler and ManageSchedulerIsolation actions.

Procedure Create an isolation group 1.

Navigate to Security > Isolation Groups.

2.

Choose New Isolation Group from the context-menu.

3.

Enter a name for the isolation group. Names should be all upper case.
