Setting a filter for SAP background events in the security file

In the security file, you can filter the SAP background events that can be used to define event rules. By doing this, you restrict the use of certain SAP events to specific users. For example, assume that you want your USA department to manage only the SAP events whose ID begins with SAP_USA, and your Italy department to manage all events except those beginning with SAP_USA. In the security file that defines the user access for the USA department, define the CUSTOM keyword for the EVENT object as follows:

EVENT      PROVIDER=@ +CUSTOM=SAP_USA@  ACCESS=USE 

where:

PROVIDER=@

Specifies that the user can use the events coming from any provider.

+CUSTOM=SAP_USA@

Specifies that the user can use only the SAP events whose ID begins with SAP_USA.

This keyword applies only to the SAP provider (SapMonitor).

ACCESS=USE

Sets the user access to the object to USE.

In the security file that defines the user access for the Italy department, define the CUSTOM keyword for the EVENT object as follows:

EVENT      PROVIDER=@ ~CUSTOM=SAP_USA@  ACCESS=USE 

where:

PROVIDER=@

Specifies that the user can use the events coming from any provider.

~CUSTOM=SAP_USA@

Specifies that the user can use all SAP events, except those whose ID begins with SAP_USA.

This keyword applies only to the SAP provider (SapMonitor).

ACCESS=USE

Sets the user access to the object to USE.
