Show the results of the Security Optimization Service

[Frank_Buchholz]

The Security Optimization Service (SOS) is designed to check the security of your SAP system (see Introduction to Security Optimization Service (SOS) – Security health Check report).

The SOS report shows two tables with results and findings.

In the beginning you find the overview about findings which includes the count of users related to a check:

SOS Chapter - Detected Issues

 

Near the end you find the overview about ratings including "green" or "not rated" checks:

SOS Chapter - Rating Overview

 

You may want to get a cross-system overview about these tables.

You can use a new Z-report ZSOS_OVERVIEW to show the combined data of these both tables.

Update from 27.07.2022: You can now use the same report to view the rating overview tables of the  EarlyWatch Alert (EWA). 

You can get the report on GitHub.

The value help (F4) on field 'Session number' shows SOS sessions which are not older than one year respective EWA sessions which are not older than one month.

The selection screen allows to filter by system, change date range, check id like "0022" or rating ("red", "yellow", "green", "not rated"). It offers a checkbox option to process only the latest report per system:

ZSOS_OVERVIEW - Selection screen

The initial result is a cross-system list in the original order of the SOS checks.

You can rearrange, hide and sort columns getting a result like this example for 2 systems:

ZSOS_OVERVIEW - Sorted result

Excellente post, is there any possibility to display EWA in such way?

[Frank_Buchholz]

This Z-report described in this blog was specific to show the results of the SOS.

You get a cross-system view on security related alerts in the EWA with following apps in the SAP Support Portal (for the systems which send data to the SAP backbone):

EWA Workspace (Dashboard)
https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/ewaworkspace
including a Security Card showing a summary about security alerts

EWA Solution Finder (EWA Alerts)
https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/ewasolutionfinder
including filter options for security related categiries

You need the specific authorization "Display Security Alerts in SAP EarlyWatch Alert Workspace" via
https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/user/management

The new authorization is initially assigned to super administrators only. Users can receive the authorization from super administrators or from user administrators (if they themselves got the authorization).

Anyway, it's a nice idea and I'll think about it. → see next comment

Kind regards

The EWA contains similar rating overview tables about alerts and chapters (but not about individual checks). Therefore, it was rather simple to extend the report for showing the EWA alert and chapter  overview, too.

This is neat!
Many thanks for sharing the useful features of the Z-report ZSOS_OVERVIEW.
I used to try and do this manually and now I can achieve what I want (and more) in a click.
