Snow Optimizer for SAP - Questions about collecting data from FSCD

3 years ago

Hi,

Snow Optimizer for SAP checks these tables to look for change documents.

There is a group of tables that the SAP standard license measurement monitors. Users making changes in these tables are typically required to have Professional or Limited Professional licenses.

Snow Optimizer is performing a similar check.

Only the presence of a change document and the type of change document is recorded. No additional details are gathered (eg specific details of the business document).

One can select what type of data one loads and can omit this data if required. Although doing this will limit some of the reporting and user license analysis functionality.

The RFC user is assigned a composite authorization role. Removing the single role /DYNAM/SATELLITE_PROF_LIM_LOAD will will restrict the ability to to access this data.

It should be noted that no data is leaving the SAP environment. It is being transferred from one internal customer SAP system to another. On both systems access to the data will be subject to SAP authorization controls.

If one wishes to further secure the ability to access "sensitive data" it is recommended to use trusted RFCs.

A list of tables/table groups can be supplied if required. (please log a support ticket for this)

Alternatively running a trace on the satellite system will a data load is taking place should provide you with the information that you required.
