3.2 Installation on SAP NetWeaver Version 7.02

PurposeThis section tells you how to upgrade as well as configure the Central Scheduler system on Windows and UNIX.You need direct access to the NetWeaver system to perform the deployment procedure described below, remotedeployment is described in the section Remote Installation on SAP NetWeaver.

Note

Since SAP CPS M28 is already deployed on SAP NetWeaver 7.02, this document describes the tasks requiredto upgrade to version 8.0.0. If you have already performed the authorization steps in this topic for your M28installation, you do not need to repeat them.

Upgrading SAP NetWeaver

Once you have installed version 8.0.0 and attempt to upgrade SAP NetWeaver, to SAP NetWeaver 7.10 for example,SAP NetWeaver might consider its version to be newer than version 8.0.0 and attempt to downgrade version 8.0.0to M28.nn (where nn is a two digit number). In this case you must make sure that SAP NetWeaver does not attemptto upgrade SAP CPS. Contact SAP Customer Support for more information.

3.4 Creating Roles in SAP NetWeaver

UseA role is a set or group of privileges that can be granted to users or other roles. Roles are part of the Security sectionin the navigation bar.

The following standard roles are provided with SAP CPS:

• scheduler-administrator - can perform all actions.

• scheduler-bae-user - indicates that the user uses the BAE interface

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

• scheduler-event-operator - can raise and clear events.

• scheduler-it-user - can access the default user interface

• scheduler-job-administrator - can create/edit/delete event definitions, job definitions, job chains.Can modify jobs.

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

• scheduler-viewer - read only access to all objects.

• scheduler-isolation-administrator - can create/edit/delete isolation groups and add users tothese.

• scheduler-screen-reader - indicates that you are using a screen reader. (not displayed when runningin SAP NetWeaver)

Note

The roles scheduler-business-user and scheduler-it-user are use by the Financial ProcessAutomation module.

Note

If you get an HTTP error 403 - Access Denied after logging in, your user may be lacking thescheduler-user role.

These are the standard roles, it is not possible to edit the standard roles. You create a role with the correspondingname in the UME, assign it the AccessScheduler action and grant it to SAP CPS users. Once you grant these rolesto users in the UME, the users will get the corresponding SAP CPS roles granted and have the privileges grantedto these roles as soon as they log on or the isolation administrator adds them to an isolation group.

The UME also allows you to grant SAP CPS privileges directly to roles via the following actions:

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

• ManageScheduler - scheduler Administrator (same as scheduler-administrator role)

• ManageSchedulerIsolation - isolation group administrator (same as scheduler-isolation-adminis-trator role); you are not allowed to grant the ManageScheduler action to the same role.

12


SAP strongly recommends you start by creating the above roles in the UME and assign them the AccessScheduleraction. Once that is done, you grant these roles to users. If the roles do not exactly suit your needs, create customroles (with names that do not match the above roles) in the UME and assign them the same action; these roles willbe editable in SAP CPS and allow you to extend privileges of users.





Accessibility

SAP CPS has been tested with the JAWS screen-reader for the visually impaired. When you want to use a screen-reader, 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 supportedby SAP CPS

• Other supported application servers - you use the scheduler-screen-reader role or append &sap-accessibility=X in the URL. Note that the use of the role is highly recommended. Despite what the namemight suggest, the URL parameter is supported on all supported application servers, and is designed for testingpurposes.

Granting Privileges

You can grant privileges to custom roles. Custom roles are recognizable by the name (it is not allowed to be oneof 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.

You grant specific privileges to roles for each object type; available privileges are dependent on the object. Theseprivileges are known as system privileges and are granted via the role object. There are two levels at which youcan grant system privileges, Access and Admin. Privileges granted with the Admin level allow the grantee to grantthe privileges to other users.

You can also grant privileges for specific objects on object-level to users or roles, these are known as object privilegesand are granted via the Security tab on the object.

The following topics in the Security Guide and Administration Guide provide more information on privileges andhow 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• The URL to the NetWeaver UME. Usually http://<host>:<port>/useradmin

• An account with sufficient privileges to create a role and add members to the role.

13


• The username and password of a user you add to the role.

• A Scheduler Manager user account for SAP CPS

ProcedureCreating a role to map to a SAP CPS role

1. Connect to the UME in SAP NetWeaver where SAP CPS was installed.

2. Choose Role in the drop-down box for Search Criteria.

3. Choose Create Role and enter a name of one of the SAP CPS roles into the Unique Name field.

4. Choose the Assigned Actions tab.

5. Search for scheduler and choose the action name AccessScheduler, choose Add and Save.

6. Log out of the UME.

Creating a custom role to manage isolation groups in the UME



3. Choose Create Role and enter a role name in the Unique Name field, SAP recommends to prefix the rolename with scheduler as it will be easier to distinguish the role fro other roles in the UME .


5. Search for scheduler and choose the action names AccessScheduler and ManageSchedulerIsolation.

6. Choose Add and Save.


Editing a custom role in SAP CPS

1. Navigate to Security > Roles.

2. Choose Edit from the context-menu of an editable role.Editable roles have a description: Created automaticallyon first login.

3. On the Assign Privileges tab, choose an Object definition and then Next.

4. Choose the desired range of the privileges.

5. Choose a Rank with the desired privileges. Admin privileges allow the user to perform the action and to grantthe privilege to others as well. Access privileges allow the user to perform the actions.

2. Fill in the Search Criteria field and locate the user.

3. Choose the user, and choose the Assigned Roles tab.

14


4. Search for one of the roles previously created, and choose Add.

5. Choose Add and Save.


Values

Assign Privileges

• Object Definition - The role name.

• Grantable - If this option is selected, the user can grant this role to any other user.

Assigned Global Privileges

• Granted Subject - The privilege name.

• Grantable - If this option is selected, the user can grant this privilege to any other user.

Example

Create a Role to access SAP CPS

• The URL to the NetWeaver UME http://sapnwprd.masalan.com:50200/useradmin

• The account with sufficient privileges to create a role and add members to the role is Administrator

• The username and password of the user to add to the role is masalan and process1 respectively, created previ-ously.

• The Scheduler Manager user account is ProcAdmin.

Creating a role that maps to the scheduler-event-operator SAP CPS role

1. Connect to http://sapnwprd.masalan.com:50200/useradmin using the Administrator login


3. Choose Create Role and enter scheduler-event-operator into the Unique Name field.


5. Search for scheduler and choose the action name AccessScheduler, choose Add and Save.


Custom Roles

Custom roles must allow users to see all properties of objects they are supposed to. This means that if you wantthe user to be able to see jobs, the user needs to be able to see the job definition, queue and process server as wellas have View privileges for DatumDefinition on system-level.

Note that shared objects reside in the GLOBAL partition and might also require privileges, for example, all usersshould be able to see the GLOBAL.Custom library, as this is used by job definitions as well as period functions,for example.

15


Example

The typical viewer user could have the following privileges (note that Rank is always View in this example):

LevelObject

PartitionApplication

PartitionCredential

PartitionCredentialProtocol

SystemDatumDefinition

PartitionEventDefinition

PartitionExport

3.5 Creating Users in SAP NetWeaver

UseUser objects represent users of the system and can have roles granted to them in order to have privileges to performactions.

Users are part of the Security section in the navigation bar. The following standard users are provided with SAPCPS:

• Redwood System - a user that represents the system.

16


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

• AccessScheduler

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

• ManageScheduler

To view all the available users, choose Security > Users in the Navigation bar.

You can enable and disable login for a user; when you disable login for a user, the user will be notified at the nextlogin attempt that the user has no access to the system.

Prerequisites• A user account and password with appropriate privileges for managing users in the SAP NetWeaver system

where SAP CPS was installed.

• The URL to the User Management interface of the SAP NetWeaver system where SAP CPS was installed.

ProcedureCreate a user in SAP NetWeaver UME

1. Connect to the User Management interface in SAP NetWeaver where SAP CPS was installed.

2. Choose Create User and fill in the data.

3. Add this user to at least one of the roles created during the installation of SAP CPS.

4. Log on with this user in SAP CPS.

Disable a user from logging into SAP CPS

1. Navigate to Security > Users.

2. Choose Disable Login from the context-menu of the user

Values

• Name - The name of the user.

• Description - The description of the user.

• Documentation - A comment about the user.

• Creation Time - The time the user ID was created.

• Last Modification time - The last time the user ID was modified.

17


3.6 Assigning Isolation Groups in SAP NetWeaver

UseWith an isolation group, a user is limited to interacting with objects of the same isolation group as well as objectsfrom the GLOBAL isolation group. You assign users to isolation groups ( see the Administration Guide ) in theSecurity section in the navigation bar. The user must either have the role scheduler-isolation-administrator or acustom 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 sessionduring login.

Note

In the Free of Charge version, only one SAP client can be in an isolation group. This is governed by thevalue 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 implementedto adhere to the limitations of the Free of Charge version and demand a high level of configuration. Usepartitions instead.

Prerequisites• the user needs the role scheduler-isolation-administrator or a custom role granted which has the AccessScheduler

action.

ProcedureCreate 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.

4. Choose Save & Close to exit edit dialog.

Assign an isolation group to users

1. Navigate to Security > Isolation Groups.

2. Choose Import Users

3. Use the search dialog to locate users from the Authentication system, wildcards * and ? are allowed.

4. Select the users to import and choose Import.

5. Close the window when you are finished importing users into the isolation group.

3.8 Advanced Remote Installation on SAPNetWeaver

UseYou are advised to follow the standard deployment instructions if you can, which are described in the 5 Installationon SAP NetWeaver ( see the Administration Guide ) section.

The Software Deployment Manager (SDM) server deploys Software in SAP NetWeaver, you use the SDM Guior the Java Support Package Manager (JSPM) client to load archives in the form of war, ear, sca or sda files intoSDM. SDM Gui can be used to deploy all these file types, however, the use of JSPM is highly recommended forthe deployment of sda files, JSPM does not support the other file formats.

You usually access the JSPM or SDM Gui on the NetWeaver server itself, this requires direct access to the server,which can be an issue for some companies, It is possible to deploy software on NetWeaver servers from remoteclients.

JSPM requires you to copy the archives to the JSPM Inbox on the NetWeaver server, SDM allows you to load thefiles from the client, which can be stored locally or on a network share.

Using JSPM for remote deployments

For information on starting JSPM, please see Starting JSPM [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/87/-4797422930c56ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm].



Refer to 5 Installation on SAP NetWeaver ( see the Administration Guide ) for more information on deployingsoftware with JSPM.

Using SDM for remote deployments

SDM lives in /usr/sap/<SID>/<central instance>/SDM/program. The command is named Re-moteGui with the sh extension for Unix and bat for Windows.

It is a graphical tool and if the NetWeaver system is running on a GNU/Linux or Unix system you need an XServer running on your Windows machine.

Note

SDM has been removed from SAP NetWeaver as of release 7.10.

Prerequisites• Location fo the JSPM inbox directory, if you are going to use JSPM

• Credentials of the <SID>adm user of the target NetWeaver system

• An X server on your Windows Client, if you plan on using SDM remotely and your NetWeaver system is in-stalled on Unix

20



Procedure

Using JSPM from a remote client

1. Copy the archive into the JSPM inbox directory. Use the following command to detect the location of thedirectory:

sappfparpf=<install_directory>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\profile\<SID>_<Central instance name>_<host> \DIR_EPS_ROOT

1. Determine your situation:

a. Your NetWeaver instance is installed on a Windows system and you are accessing it from a Windowsclient, you can safely run /usr/sap/<SID>/<central instance>/j2ee/JSPM/go.bat

b. Your NetWeaver instance is installed on a Unix system and you are using a Unix system as a client oryour Windows installation has an X server you can safely run /usr/sap/<SID>/<central in-stance>/j2ee/JSPM/go on Unix clients or /usr/sap/<SID>/<central in-stance>/j2ee/JSPM/go.bat on Windows clients

c. Your NetWeaver instance is installed on a Unix system and your Windows installation does not havean X server, you will have to copy part of the JSPM directory structure to your system, change somefiles and run JSPM from you computer.

i. Copy StartGui.bat and the lib directory from /usr/sap/<SID>/<centralinstance>/j2ee/JSPM to yoursystem.

ii. go to /usr/sap/<SID>/<central instance>/j2ee/JSPM/param and open the file jspm_config.txt; inthat file change the line /dialog/SDTServerConnection/SDTGui/launch = trueto /dialog/SDTServerConnection/SDTGui/launch = false

iii. save the change

iv. start the go command again; it should come up with the “Waiting for SDTServer to connect onhostname.. “ message

v. Start StartGui.bat on your machine and specify the host and port from the message

Note

A supported X server on Windows is Hummingbird Exceed, other x servers may work, some have been re-ported to display an unresponsive GUI.

Using SDM from a remote client

1. Copy the whole SDM directory, /usr/sap/<SID>/<central instance>/SDM/program over toyour machine.

2. Edit the following files:

a. SDM/program/RemoteGui.bat - fix the paths

b. SDM/program/sdm_prep_com.bat - fix the paths

c. SDM/program/sdm_jdk.bat - fix the path to your Java home directory

3. Run RemoteGui.bat

Note

If your NetWeaver server is on a Unix-based system, you will need an X server on your Windows system.
