After having played with my Development Environment I started to do the initial load for my AS ABAP systems.

Thanks to several people of the forum, I think to Murali Shanmugham, Ian Daniel and Ivan Petrov I, learned a lot and improved my knowledge of the tool (but I'm still far of their level).

So now I do the first steps 10 times faster than during my tests on Development and more important I understand them.

The goal of this post is to remind that before doing the Initial Load for As Abap system, you should run this program first : PRGN_COMPRESS_TIMES

If you don't do so, you can have error messages because roles are more than once assigned to the same user, or because the role has been expired,...

Eg of error message :

modEntry failed modifying entry 'xxxx'. IDStore returned error message: " The specified "Valid to" date is in the past:Attribute: MXREF_MX_PRIVILEGE" when storing attribute 'MXREF_MX_PRIVILEGE={ValidFrom=2009-06-03!!ValidTo=2010-10-07}<PRIV:ROLE:MD1600:UM_WBD_DEV>'

The other advantage when you clean the data in your SAP System, is you will get less data to upload, less error messages so your Initial Upload will be faster !

How to process :

Go to your sap system

--> transaction SA38 / SE38 --> PRGN_COMPRESS_TIMES

Execute

Put all the user ID's and start next role

Check the box "Remove Validity Periods That Have Already Expired"

If you want to see the results first let the check box "Simulation Run"

Execute

You will see all data that will be removed when you will uncheck the bod "Simulation Run".

Before proceeding be sure that your Company Policy allows you to delete expired roles.

Your Sap System will be cleaner as your IDM !
