Purpose
You use this report to add the newrole ICMEXT to the existingexternal persons and organizations.
This role is necessary to allow a search for Externals using theEnterprise Search.
All of the business partners in SAP Student Lifecycle Management (suchas person, organization, external person and external organization) usethe same Enterprise Search template CRM_ACCOUNT to index data in ES /TREX. This results in one large index that includes all businesspartners (except for employees).
To allow a specific search, for example only for Persons you mustpredefine the search string used by Enterprise Search. For example,predefinition could be ROLE=CRMICM.
But: when we wanted to search for Externals only, we pre-defined thesearch string like this: ROLE<>CRMICM (and a bit more). And exactly this<>-search does not work in ES for our Externals because the Externals donot have any role at all. Technically, the role in ES is NULL. To solvethis problem we introduced a new role for External Persons and ExternalOrganization so that we can pre-define the search string like this:ROLE=ICMEXT.
Report CRM_ICM_EXT_BP_ROLE_ADD assigns the role ICMEXT to the oldexternal persons and organizations for those there is no role at all.
