composite role menu - copy menu function in PFCG

Question: Hello,

We are in the middle of integration testing and we are using composite roles. When I have to maintain (add or remove tcodes) and transport a "single" role that is part of a composite role, the role menu for the composite is out of synch with the user menu after the transport.

The manual fix for this is to go into the composite role via PFCG in the destination system and push the Read Menu button. This will read the latest menus of the single roles.

I would like to know if there is a job that I can schedule that can synchonize the composite role to the single roles assigned to it. Will PFCG_TIME_DEPENDENCY do this for us?

Thanks,

Ryan

Answer:
Why don't you transport the composite role and flag the option 'include the single roles'. tp should see that the generation runs right then ...

there's several settings you can choose in tabel prgn_cust concerning transport of roles. take a look at note 571276 for some of them.

Answer:
Try creating a composite role

Then add some singles to it but DO NOT go to the menu tab and import - leave it red.

Save the composite - it will show the menu tab as red.

Chuck the composite onto a user and have a look...

Depending on the release you get a menu anyway - no need to re-read or import each time you change the contents of the single roles.

Very annoying if you've already maintained the menus as it won't work after that.
