Templates

A few templates are predefined and delivered with the software package ready to install. These templates can be used after the data is loaded in the Template manager. They either cover common scenarios or serve as examples to create customized objects.

Templates are marked as such in a list of entries by an activated checkbox and in the template view by an icon Template icon.png.

note

  • This chapter describes the standard templates of Snow Optimizer. There is separate documentation for the optional License Intelligence templates. License Intelligence templates include rule, rule set, and usage profile templates for ECC, S/4HANA, and S/4HANA Cloud (FUE) licenses. These templates are not delivered with the Snow Optimizer standard and can be purchased for an additional fee.

  • Templates cannot be edited. To modify a standard template, a copy must be created. License Intelligence usage profile templates cannot be copied.

  • Templates may be updated with a new software version.

Local rule templates:

  • DEFAULT_SYS_LICTYPE

    This local rule applies the default license type of the SAP system to all users.

  • DEVELOPER

    This local rule applies developer license type 55 to all developer users.

  • NO_LOGON_90_DAYS

    This local rule applies test license type 91 to all users who did not log in for at least 90 days.

Aggregation rule templates:

  • USER_ID

    This aggregation rule aggregates users based on the user ID.

  • USER_ID_BO.SAPR3

    During an import of user accounts from SAP, a special user ID is created in BusinessObjects. This aggregation rule aggregates created users in BusinessObjects with the original users in SAP.

  • FIRST_LAST_NAME

    This aggregation rule aggregates users based on the first and last name of users.

  • EMAIL

    This aggregation rule aggregates users based on the email address of users.

Aggregation scheme templates:

  • USER_ID

    This aggregation scheme uses the aggregation rule template USER_ID.

  • USER_ID_BO.SAPR3

    This aggregation scheme uses the aggregation rule template USER_ID_BO.SAPR3.

  • FIRST_LAST_NAME

    This aggregation scheme uses the aggregation rule template FIRST_LAST_NAME.

  • EMAIL

    This aggregation scheme uses the aggregation rule template EMAIL.

License type hierarchy templates:

  • LAW_STANDARD

    This license type hierarchy consolidates license types in the way the SAP License Administration Workbench does. If two license types cannot be consolidated, an empty license type results. In the license balance, this appears as a user who has no (consolidated) license type.

  • LAW_STANDARD_COMBINE

    This license type hierarchy consolidates license types exactly in the way the SAP License Administration Workbench does. If two license types cannot be consolidated, the result is a combination of those two license types. In the license balance, the consolidated license type might appear as a combination of several license types.

note

The consolidated license type is always the most valuable type assigned to a user, for example Professional + ESS equals Professional as the consolidated license type to cover the full usage.

Rule set template:

  • BASIC_OPTIMIZATION

    This rule set uses all local rule templates, the aggregation scheme template USER_ID, and license type hierarchy template LAW_STANDARD.

Duplicate rule templates:

  • EMAIL

    This duplicate rule searches for users who have identical email addresses.

  • USER_ID_SIMILAR

    This duplicate rule searches for users who have similar user IDs.

  • SWAPPED_NAMES

    This duplicate rule searches for users who have swapped their first and last names.

Product templates:

In Snow Optimizer, there are various templates for the most common SAP products. The names of these product templates consist of a prefix for Snow Optimizer (SOS_) followed by the abbreviation of the corresponding SAP price list and the ID of the corresponding SAP license type with the prefix LT_.

The abbreviations of the SAP price lists in Snow Optimizer product template names are as follows:

  • APP_: SAP Applications

  • BS_: SAP Business Suite

  • CPL_: SAP Software Component Price List

  • HEM_: SAP HANA Enterprise Management

  • IS_: mySAP.com Individual Solutions

Example for product template name: Snow Optimizer, SAP price list 'SAP Business Suite', and SAP license type 'DH' = SOS_BS_LT_DH

tip

For easy identification of own created products, use a self-selected prefix followed by the same naming conventions for SAP price list and SAP license type as in the templates.
