 Note
Please note the following regarding SAP NetWeaver releases older than 740:

There are no plans to support any older SAP NetWeaver Basis Release or service packs that are not listed
above. There are also no plans to support SAP Screen Personas 3.0 on an older kernel release than 722.

The development team designed and tested SAP Screen Personas 3.0 on the above SAP NetWeaver releases
and Basis service packs. However, a number of issues have been addressed and due to technical constraints
have not been down-ported to older support packages (for example, SAP Note 2207791 SAP GUI for
HTML:Whitelist-Service for Clickjacking Framing Protection). Therefore, we strongly advise to run SAP Screen
Personas 3.0 only on:

SAP_BASIS 700 SP29+

SAP_BASIS 701 SP14+
SAP_BASIS 702 SP14+
SAP_BASIS 731 SP09+

For service packs lower than these, only limited support is offered and known issues exist that can only be
addressed via an SAP_BASIS upgrade.

For roadmap information on kernel releases and basis service packs, please read SAP Note 1969546.

2 Pre-Installation Checklist

This page provides an overview of requirements of pre-installation steps for SAP Screen Personas 3.0 SP05.

Up to SAP NetWeaver Basis 740 SP08, certain notes need to be implemented to enable SAP Screen Personas
3.0, otherwise the solution will not be available or work correctly.

Enabling SAP NetWeaver Basis 731 for Personas:

Apply the following SAP Notes:

2219194
2135723
2223645

For SP07 or SP08

1. Apply SAP Note 2007072 , Class include is not activated following implementation of SAP note.

Note
Close your current SAP GUI session, and reconnect to your system before proceeding.

Enabling SAP NetWeaver Basis 740 SP03 - SP08

Depending on the installed basis service pack, a corresponding SAP Screen Personas 3.0 enablement note has to
be applied. Before the note can be implemented, the following steps must be executed, otherwise there is a risk to
bring your system into an inconsistent state.

1. Apply SAP Note 2007072 - Class include is not activated following implementation of SAP note.

Note
Close your current SAP GUI session, and reconnect to your system before proceeding

2. Depending on your NW Basis SP level you have to implement one of the following notes:
SP03: Apply SAP Note 1918906
SP04 - SP07: Apply SAP Note 2044643

Note
Before installing SAP Screen Personas 3.0, if you are on SAP NetWeaver Basis SP03 or SP04, apply SAP
Note 2218621 .

Exchanging the kernel

Please check SAP Note 2447934 for the recommendation on kernel patch level.

For more information about kernel exchanges, please read SAP Note 19466 .

Configuration Guide
Pre-Installation Checklist PUBLIC 5
 Note
The kernel is composed of multiple components that do not always have the same version number, that is,
some components are updated more frequently. When a kernel patch is recommended by the Personas Team,
this refers to the patch level of the "disp+work" package found under section "Database Independent", based
on your kernel and OS in Service Marketplace. Please make sure that you keep all components up-to-date.

Recommended basis and Internet Transaction Server (ITS) notes

Please check SAP Note 2447934 for the list of required and recommended ITS/BASIS notes. Depending on
your SAP_BASIS release and support package level, SNOTE tells you whether a note is needed or not.

3 Installation Steps

This page provides an overview of requirements of installation steps for SAP Screen Personas 3.0 SP05

Procedure

1. Deploy the necessary kernel release and patch. Pre-Installation Checklist [page 5] See Exchanging the
Kernel section.
2. For SAP NetWeaver 731 SP07 -SP08 and 740 SP03 - SP08:
Implement SAP Note 2007072 . Pre-Installation Checklist [page 5]
3. According to your SAP NetWeaver release, implement the following notes. Implementation Considerations
[page 3]
4. Depending whether this is a new Personas installation or an upgrade from an earlier support package, select
one of the following:
In case of new installation, install the Personas 3.00 add-on and support packages SP01 - SP05.
If upgrading from an earlier support package, install the new support package(s).
5. SAP05 XPRA (eXecution of PRogram After Import) Report
When upgrading from SP04 to SP05, an XPRA report automatically runs and upgrades data between the
two SPs. Any errors during this XPRA report execution would be added to the upgrade transport log.
Refer to SAP Note 2465796 for details on how to resolve these errors.
When upgrading from SP03 or lower to SP05, the XPRA report will not upgrade the data to SP05. Refer to
SAP Note 2465796 for details on how to upgrade data from such SPs to SP05.
6. See SAP Note 2447934 for a list of all relevant notes. Implement the basis and Internet Transaction Server
(ITS) related notes as applicable to your environment. Adjust the System Change Option via transaction SE03
or SE06 so that software component PERSONAS and namespace /PERSONAS/ are set to "Modifiable". Also
apply all Personas-specific (client/frontend, backend, overwrite entries) notes listed in this note.
SAP Note 2447934 is always kept up-to-date to include all notes relevant for SAP Screen Personas 3.0
SP05. Subscribe to this note to help keep your Personas installation current.
You can use the "Personas Notes Checker" function in the Health Check to verify whether your
Personas installation is missing any of the required notes.

4 Configuring SAP Screen Personas 3.0

This page provides an overview of requirements of configuration for SAP Screen Personas 3.0 SP05

Procedure

1. Configure the following instance profile parameters using transaction RZ10, then restart the system:
Update the current value of parameter em/global_area_MB to at least 1GB. For further details, check
SAP Note 1888428 .
Check SAP Note 2299342 to see whether a change to parameter ztta/diag_area is necessary. If your
system uses a kernel patch below the listed ones or in doubt, set it to at least 10MB (10000000 bytes).
For further details regarding this parameter, also check SAP Note 204502 .
2. Complete the service configuration
Activate the following services in transaction SICF:
/default_host/sap/bc/personas
/default_host/sap/bc/personas3
/default_host/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
Ensure and test that the webgui service is fully operational
Verify that the personas service has the following GUI Configuration parameters:

Administrative Tasks. Look through all the entries and ensure that there are no red status lights.
Make sure you are using the latest version of your web browser to edit flavors. Please see SAP Note
2050838 for browser considerations.
5. Test Configuration
In this step, you launch SAP Screen Personas 3.0
Option 1:
In transaction SICF, select Hierarchy Type SERVCIE and Service Name personas
In the Services tree list, right click the personas service and select Test Service.
Option 2:
Test the following URL by replacing host, domain, and port with your values: http(s)://
host.domain:port/sap/bc/personas?sap-ie=edge
Your default web browser opens and the SAP GUI for HTML appears. After some initial compilation and
decompression time (on first load per application server) , the browser shows a blue line on top with four

5 Configuring Authorizations and Roles

This page provides an overview of requirements for roles and authorizations for SAP Screen Personas 3.0 SP05

SAP Screen Personas 3.0 is only enabled for a user when the relevant authorizations (based on a user role) are
granted. This is essential, since without the necessary authorization, the solution will not be available. Role
assignment happens through the regular user administration process.

Procedure

The standard product delivery includes a set of roles. You can use these roles to allow users access to the system
via Personas. After installation of the Personas add-on, these roles do not yet have the necessary authorization
profile. Please ensure that you create the authorization profile for each role via transaction PFCG to activate them
fully before assignment.

If these roles are not sufficient, new roles can also be created using transaction PFCG. Based on the standard
delivered roles, and using the below authorization objects, you can define custom roles to achieve the desired
level of granularity to control access to various functions.

SAP Screen Personas 3.0 uses the following authorization objects:

Transaction code check at the star of a transactiont (S_TCODE)

This is the usual object, which determines what transaction codes the user is allowed to run.

Administrative Authorizations( P_ADMIN)

This object controls the Personas Administration features
