Enhancements and changes

The following enhancements and changes are implemented in Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software 3.2:

Reports

Reports for ABAP systems

  • In CPU consumption profile analysis, you can select a reference usage profile to determine whether this usage profile fits the user better than the current usage profile.

  • In User authorizations, the performance for showing user role details in the report result has improved.

  • In Role usage analysis results, you can choose between a compact and a detailed view that shows the transactions used in the roles individually.

Reports for loading data from ABAP systems

  • Loading of tables is adapted to the SQL changes of recent SAP releases.

  • In non-periodic data, there is an option to load only role data instead of full authorization data to avoid data overload.

  • The option to load only currently valid users of non-periodic data is activated by default.

  • The absolute specification for loading periodic data is preset to the current month plus two months in the past.

More reports

  • In User reconciliation, you can select only currently valid users to limit the report results.

  • In Digital Access measurement, units 4121 and 4123 for S/4HANA systems were added.

  • You can execute User list and Show HR activity status in the background and optionally email the report results.

Contract management

  • When adding a product to a license contract, you can select whether the license model is perpetual or subscription.

  • You can add the same product to a license contract more than once.

  • The inventory determination is no longer dependent on the product type. You can select any inventory determination type for each product type.

  • If a product is of the type Engine, you can open the official SAP Engine documentation directly from the product details.

  • In frame contracts, there is a tab to show all documents of the subordinated license contracts.

  • In the results of rule set executions, you can select whether license counts and costs are calculated based on license types or on Full Use Equivalents (FUE).

  • In the All items tab of a frame contract, there is a column that shows whether the end date of an item is determined by a parent frame contract.

Product license

  • Product license shows information about the system ID, client, installation number, and release of the master system on that Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software is installed.

  • The number of users is checked only after data is loaded. In this way, before purchasing a license, the number of users can be checked to estimate the scope of the project.

  • There are new license modules for License Intelligence and Dashboard.

  • You can show the clients that have Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software installed and whether user data exists on those clients.

More enhancements and changes

  • You can change the user type (named or concurrent) of users on BusinessObjects systems.

  • The condition type for assigned authorization objects can also check for authorization fields and field values.

  • The performance for executing rule sets that have an Active Directory condition has improved.

  • In the overview of single usage profiles, checkboxes show if a usage profile is a template and/or protected. In the detailed view of a single usage profile, an icon indicates if the usage profile is a template.

  • When exporting/importing objects, the notes to an object are automatically exported and imported together with the object.

  • Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software Offline Tool also supports the relative specification for periodic data for data export and import.
