How to Retrieve a List of Locked User Accounts directly from SAP NetWeaver Portal

Background

[wp_ad_camp_1]

A problem ticket was created for a production issue wherein the SAP NetWeaver Portal application’s Unlock Users functionality is taking too long to even just list the all locked accounts from a specific country. During the investigation, I found out that the application first retrieves the list of user IDs from an Oracle database, and uses each user ID to determine whether or not an associated account in SAP NetWeaver Portal is  locked or not.

There is a better way to do this. The available API allows for user account search using other user properties like country name, User Account Locked, Logon ID, and etc.

Software Environment

  • Windows 7 Professional SP1
  • Java 2 SDK 1.4.2 for Windows 32-bit
  • SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Version 7.0.09 for Java
  • SAP NetWeaver Application Server
    • ​sap.com/SAP-JEECOR  – 7.00 SP26 (1000.7.00.26.1.20120307143343)
    • sap.com/SAP-JEE – 7.00 SP26 (1000.7.00.26.0.20120109175405)
