Background: (S_DMIS – Authority object for SAP SLO Data migration server)

The user role SAP_IUUC_REPL_ADMIN is required to use SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server. By default, this role does not allow users to view the data that is replicated from the source system to the target system. However, the authorization object S_DMIS (with activity 29) allows users to view the data that is being replicated (by means of the replication logging function).

SAP strongly recommend that you use the Read Access Logging (RAL) component to monitor and log read access to the relevant data.
