TRANSACTION - Required SAP Authorizations

Winshuttle TRANSACTION fully protects SAP security features. In no circumstances can TRANSACTION override SAP authorization restrictions you are bound to. This document can help you and your security team to understand the SAP authorization required to work with TRANSACTION. In most cases, these SAP authorizations are already in place. However, if you have tried TRANSACTION but can not use it or if you are seeing error messages then this document will help you address the issue. Transaction Authorization via SAP GUI: TRANSACTION cannot run a transaction if you cannot run that transaction in the SAP GUI. If you do not have access to a particular transaction, please obtain authorization for it before you record or run that transaction in TRANSACTION. Remote Function Calls (RFC) Authorization: TRANSACTION makes RFC calls to SAP You must have this additional access assigned to you. In most cases, . these authorizations are already assigned to you. The following objects with the indicated values should be in your SAP user profile for working with TRANSACTION. For the S_RFC Authorization Object: Field RFC_TYPE Value FUGR (function group) Field ACTVT Value 16 (execute) or * Field RFC_NAME The following values are required for running shuttle files: SYST, SRFC, SUSO, RFC1, RFCH, SBDC, ATSV, STTF, SDTX The following additional values are required for recording shuttle files: SBDR, SCAT, STTM, SDTX Table Level Authorizations: TRANSACTION can get logs, extended comments, field descriptions, and messages during debug process. For this, the user must have access to few tables. Table level access is controlled by authorization object S_TABU_DIS. TRANSACTION needs access to these tables: T100, TFDIR, DD03L, DD04L, TSTCT, D020T, and DD03M. To enable this access, please setup the following authorization: Authorization Object: S_TABU_DIS Field Authorization Group (DICBERCLS) = SS, &NC& Field Activity (ACTVT) = 03 (Display only) GUI Scripting Authorizations: In addition to RFC calls, TRANSACTION also provides access to the SAP system using the SAP GUI Scripting mode.

In order to enable SAP GUI scripting on the SAP server, the administrator must set the profile parameter sapgui/ user_scripting to TRUE on the application server. To enable this parameter run transaction RZ11. See OSS note 480149 for specific information. Additionally, please Enable Scripting on the SAPGUI front-end as follows: 1. Choose the Options dialog box from the main GUI screen.
