Impact for Security App

The Impact for Security App assesses the impact of applying a set of transports containing SAP roles from a source system to a target system.

A user with LiveCompare Editor privileges must prepare this App by making sure that performance history data is available for the ‘System 2’ RFC Destination. See the ‘Prerequisites’ section below for details.

Prerequisites

Before running the Impact for Impact for Security App for the first time, you will need to make sure that performance history data is available on the RFC Destination selected for the ‘System 2’ system. Select the RFC Destination in the LiveCompare hierarchy and click the PHD tab. Select the source for performance history data, and if necessary the number of months of data to retrieve, then click ‘Update Data’. The performance history data may also be retrieved using a schedule. See the Retrieving Performance History Data help topic for details.

Running the App

To run the Impact for Security App, select the App from the Apps screen and create an App variant. Set the ‘System 1’ field to the RFC Destination for the source system, and the ‘System 2’ field to the RFC Destination for the target system. Edit the ‘Transport/s Containing Auth Roles’ table to provide a list of transports to be analyzed.

Click ‘Run’. When the variant has completed, its results may be accessed from the App Cockpit screen.
