One of the biggest challenges during a SAP role redesign project, is ensuring the functionality of new roles in daily operations. With the PTS, short for productive test simulation, you can validate authorization roles directly under real conditions. This works by comparing user activities in the productive system to the newly designed authorizations. Our solutions, the Xiting Times protocols, the missing authorization checks, and makes them available for a detailed analysis. This SAP role redesign best practice approach minimizes risks and resource demands, while providing the confidence needed for a successful go live. With the productive test simulation, you can validate your newly created roles directly in the productive environment alongside day to day business activities. Rather than relying on separate test environments and significant IT involvement, end users simply continue their normal work. Meanwhile, their actions are analyzed regarding the performed authorization checks to confirm that the new roles function as intended. By combining real usage data with a smart evaluation tool, the PTS shortens testing cycles, reduces resource needs, and ultimately ensures a smooth go live without surprises. From a technical perspective, the productive test simulation assigns a reference user in the background, which acts as a backpack for the new roles. While the employee continues working with their regular authorizations, the system quietly simulates how the new roles would have matched. This creates a safe what if scenario. If any authorization checks fail under the simulated roles, the failures are captured and logged in a dedicated Xiting table. These results provide a list of missing permissions that should be analyzed and added before the go live, ensuring that the new roles are stable and reliable from day one. After a period of productive testing, it's time to activate the new role concept. Even at this stage, missing authorizations aren't uncommon, as not every business process is performed on a regularly basis. Rather than causing interruptions or delays, Xiting Times provides temporary backup access to ensure users can continue working without disruption. This process is called protected go live. Within this project phase, users are assigned their new roles, while their old roles remain available as a temporary reference in the background. This backup isn't active by default, but users can access it on demand using a self-service if they encounter a missing authorization. This approach creates a safe fallback scenario. Users stay productive, business processes continue smoothly, and IT can efficiently track and resolve any missing permissions, ensuring a controlled and reliable go live. Xiting Times ensures a smooth and secure launch of new roles. With the productive test simulation, roles can be tested directly in the productive environment. This ensures a high quality of test results as users are executing their daily work to give us details on the performed authority checks. The protected go live provides temporary backup access, enabling users to continue working seamlessly while missing permissions are identified and corrected. With reference users and full auditability, IT gains transparency and control, minimizing risks and ensuring a reliable rollout of new authorizations. Thank you for watching.

Let's break down how the productive test simulation is executed. We'll first take a brief look in our SAP system how we have set up our testing scenario, and then we'll trace the authorization data utilizing PTS in exciting times. This best practice approach is a complete new way how to perform SAP testing for authorizations passively and improve user acceptance testing in SAP. Before we start testing, let's take a look at our user setup. We've already ensured that all necessary steps for the exciting time setup and customizing have been completed in the last session. So let's take a look at our test user in SU01. This user currently has basic roles and an accounting role containing too much authorizations. This role covers not only all authorizations the user needs for his daily business, but even more, which is critical. Now, let's check our reference user, which will get our newly designed accounting role that we would like to test during PTS. For productive test simulation, the reference user always has the new role, which usually contains fewer authorizations than the old roles. In our case, the new role includes some basic transactions like FB03 or MM03. But no organizational levels are maintained in the role profile. Most authorization values are filled with dummy values, meaning the role has very few authorizations. The goal here is to collect data about missing authorizations based on the actions we will execute during testing. Now that everything is set up, the admin can start the productive test simulation for the selected users in the Exciting Times administration cockpit via Start Pseudo Sessions. Let's search for our dialog user and select the line with the respective reference user. After document our actions by typing in a reason and setting the duration for how long the productive test simulation should run. Once that's done, we continue, and the reference user is automatically assigned in the background. Also, the collector job has started to trace the user activities. Before we log in as our test user, let's take another quick look at the dialog user in SU01. The reference user and its roles, our newly created accounting role, are now assigned, which means it's now being tested by our end user. Now we are logged in as our test user in the productive system. Let's walk through some of the steps he could take in his daily work. First, we will open FB03 and display some accounting documents, which is part of the new role. This will work without any issues, even though there might be missing authorizations like specific company codes in the new role, because the user still has the old roles that allow him to perform these actions. Next, let's try opening F22. This transaction is currently not included in the new role, but since the user still has his old accounting role assigned, these old authorizations are still valid and still enable him to access this transaction as the user always used to. Finally, let's try a transaction that is not included in either the old or the new role, such as SU01. Here, we'll encounter an error due to missing authorizations, as none of the roles provide the necessary permissions for this transaction. For now, we finished testing and are back in the exciting Times Administration cockpit as our admin user. To stop a simulation session, you can simply wait until the requested session time ends, and the reference user assignment will automatically be revoked and the collector job stops recording trace data for this session. You can also end a session manually in advance if you want to. This can be done using the option terminate pseudo sessions. After selecting the corresponding users again, you will have to enter a reason for the early termination of the session. That's it for the execution of PTS. The next steps are analyzing and evaluating the collected test data, which we will take a look in a future lesson. Thank you for watching. Would you like to find out more?

Do you fear that missing authorizations may disrupt daily business? Many authorization projects face the same challenge. Due to tight timelines or limited testing windows, roles are often not fully validated before go-live. As a result, missing authorizations only become visible once users start working productively. This puts pressure on both - end users, who are blocked in their tasks, and role administrators, who must react immediately to resolve missing authorizations and keep business processes running without major interruptions. A Go-Live that should be a milestone quickly turns into a stressful firefighting phase. To address this challenge, XAMS provides the Protected Go-Live concept. Protected Go-Live helps ensure a stable transition to a new authorization concept by providing a controlled operational safeguard. After the new roles and authorizations are activated and assigned to end users, the Protected Go-Live phase ensures that reference users remain available as a backup in case any authorizations are missing. These reference users retain the previously used roles or a powerful project-role depending on the context of your authorization project. If a user encounters a missing authorization that prevents him from completing his tasks, he can simply use a self-service transaction to request temporary access to the predefined project role with extended authorizations. This allows him to resume his work immediately. At the same time, authorization checks are logged and the new roles can be adapted based on the corresponding trace data. Let's take a look at how the Protected Go-Live works from an end-user perspective. We are now logged in as our test user, who has just received his new roles. Now if we attempt to access a transaction that is not included in the new authorization role, an error message will prevent us from continuing our work. Since we used to create materials in transaction MM01 in the past and that authorization is now missing, we can request temporary access to our former roles via a self-service transaction. After entering a reason and the requested duration, the reference user containing the old role set is automatically assigned, allowing the user to continue work immediately. From this point on, the previous authorizations remain active for the rest of the workday, allowing us to access MM01 again and continue working without disruption. At the same time all authorization checks are traced in the background Once the entered time period of 8 hours expires, the reference user is automatically removed, and the user will continue working only with the new authorization-set the following day. To ensure everything will function correctly, the admin analyzes the collected trace using the Role Builder Coverage Analyzer. Here, you benefit from features such as a real-time list of failed authorization checks that require maintenance, as well as color-coding that highlights critical and non-critical authorizations. The process for handling the findings list remains identical to the process used in our Productive Test Simulation. If you need a refresher, we recommend reviewing the videos on the Coverage Analyzer and the SU24 Checkman. In summary Protected Go-Live ensures a smooth go-live by allowing users to immediately regain missing authorizations through a self-service process, preventing workflow interruptions and reducing go-live chaos for both administrators and end-users. This data-driven approach allows a controlled and transparent improvement of your authorization concept and supports standard-compliant role optimization. Thereby you ensure that your roles improve based on actual system usage and you will have a smooth transition into your new role concept. If you would like to discuss how this approach can support your specific Go-Live scenario, feel free to contact us for a demo. We will get back to you as soon as possible!<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/wistia-player>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b9954d elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0b9954d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Protected Go-Live (PGL) works <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a07e4bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a07e4bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During a Protected\u00a0Go-Live, the new role concept is activated, but the old roles\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0disappear completely.

During a PTS session, users work in the productive system as usual, while their activities are evaluated against simulated roles in the background.

If a user encounters missing permissions, they can request or automatically trigger reactivation of their old roles for a limited time. All actions are fully logged. Administrators then analyze the missing authorizations, adjust the new roles, and gradually phase out the fallback. This minimizes the risk of process interruptions and increases end-user acceptance of the new authorization concept.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does Xiting Times fit into SAP testing tools for authorizations?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Xiting Times is the operational backbone for PTS, Protected GoLive, and emergency access scenarios.
