Accelerating IAM Activities with SAP Activate - S/4HANA Technology

Hello everyone and welcome to this openSAP micro learning for accelerating your IAM activities in SAP S4 HANA Cloud projects with SAP Activate. My name is Anurag Padia and I'm an SAP S4 HANA Cloud Security Consultant. In this video, we will learn how to make use of the SAP Activate methodology for your projects and, in particular, how to identify at a very early stage in your projects which IAM tasks will come up. This micro-learning is primarily intended for system administrators and IAM consultants. The SAP Activate methodology is an innovation adoption framework, which guides customers throughout the entire lifecycle. Therefore, it supports faster, less service-intensive deployments of SAP S4HANA Cloud. Also, it aims at continuous adoption of innovations throughout the entire life cycle. The SAP Activate methodology focuses on SAP best practices and is based on the fit to standard approach. It describes an agile implementation methodology and provides tools for guided configuration and automated testing. At the top of the screen, you can see the individual phases of SAP Activate, as well as the key tasks within the phases. As you must have heard a lot about SAP Activate, I want to focus now on the IAM specific parts. Let me therefore switch to the system demo. So if you want to access the Activate methodology for S4HANA Cloud, you need to go to go-support-sap.com slash roadmap viewer. In our case, we want to access a specific one, so we select here the explore all roadmaps, specific methodology and then we can see here at the top the activate methodology for S4HANA Cloud. You're then redirected here to an overview page and in this overview page you can read through the individual phases which are there so discover, prepare, explore, realize, deploy and run and you get a basic understanding of what you need to consider here. If you select here the the Content tab, you get a more detailed description in the sense you will see here more tasks which you need to consider during these phases. On the left-hand side, you can see here different filters. So you can filter the task either based on the phase they are or the workstream or even more tasks, filters. So in our case, which is relevant, is the identity and access management tag. So let me select this one. And you will notice here on the right-hand side that the list has shortened. And you will only see here now the IEM relevant tasks. Now I want to highlight two specific tasks which are relevant for a lot of customers. So the first one is the fit to standard analysis preparation, and in here, in particular, the application workplace list. So the application workplace list is a tool or it's a list which will help you to identify and capture the applications which are required by the business. And from an administrator's point of view, he can get an understanding or he can get an overview of which business catalog is required to create the business role. So this is described here in the fit to standard analysis preparation and it's here the second task, so create initial application workplace list. So let's select this one. Here at the top you can see a description of the task as well as the procedures you need to follow, and at the bottom here you can see different accelerators which will help you to perform the task in a faster manner. So let's have a look here, for example, in the How to Create Application Workplace List PDF. This is a presentation and it describes how to create the application workplace list. So you can see here initially in which phase you are and what you need to consider. And then you can see here a description of which fields you require and how to get that data out of the Fiori apps reference library. So the second task which I want to highlight is what you can find here in the run phase. so which is the release cycles for S4HANA Cloud. Also here, you need to consider changes to your business roles and to business catalogs, which we have summarized here in this task. You can see here again, there's a description of the task, some procedures, and also the accelerator. Select this accelerator, And here you again have a presentation which will help you to get an overview of how to prepare best for the quarterly release. Scroll down, you can see here then the so-called four pillars of IM activities performed during the quarterly release. So it starts initially with reviewing what is coming up in terms of IM with the quarterly release, and then reviewing your business role changes, updating the deprecated business catalogs, and adopting then changes to the SAP business role templates. And here at the bottom, you can see here the tools which you need to use in order to perform this task. So all this is described in here.
