If you do not see the Expert Mode button for step 2 in the SU25 transaction, check whether you can call the expert mode from the SU24 transaction by clicking the Sample Value Match button. In this view, it is possible to select the proposed values to be matched by specific selections, so that not all proposed values are used for matching. In the first selection, you can choose the data to take. You can select here whether only SAP standard applications or customer or partner applications should be considered. You can still limit the selection by type of application, package, or component shortcut in the Other Constraints pane. In the Application Search pane, you can also limit the SU22 data to an upload file, transport jobs, or role menus.

The SAP standard allows you to evaluate the statistical usage data via a standard function block. The call is made through the transaction SE37. Select here the function block SWNC_GET_WORKLOAD_STATISTIC. The function block is used to write the usage statistics to a temporary table, from which you can extract the data for further use.
Unclear responsibilities, especially between business and IT
In the Output pane, you can view the change documents of a remote subsidiary system, or in the Selection Criteria pane, you can restrict the change documents for the central system (transmit system) or only for specific daughter systems. In the lower part, you can select the distribution parameters that you are interested in changing. The evaluation includes information about all changes in the ZBV configuration and in the attached subsidiary systems, as of the time the corresponding release or support package was inserted into the systems. In addition to the date, time and modifier, the evaluation also contains information about the respective model view, the status of the configured system and the action taken (old value and new value). In our example, you will see changes that have occurred in the SCUA transaction, such as creating a model view and adding subsidiary systems, changes made in the SCUG transaction, such as the user adoption, and changes to the distribution parameters in the SCUM transaction.

When you start a report with the ABAP statement SUBMIT REPORT, the system checks the authorization object S_PROGRAM, provided that the program has been assigned to a program authorization group in transaction SE38. If this assignment is not sufficient for your system environment, you can define your own group assignment with the report RSCSAUTH. You must check this assignment after installing Support Packages or upgrades and reassign the reports if necessary.

The possibility of assigning authorizations during the go-live can be additionally secured by using "Shortcut for SAP systems".
