Import SAP BW roles to SAP BO withour prefix

Hello,

we are re-using our SAP BW authorizations roles for folder authorizations in SAP BO.

Therefore we import roles from SAP BW source system and add these roles to different BO-Groups. Folder authorizations are maintained for these BO Groups.

Import of roles works - but all imported roles / Groups start with a prefix "<SYS-ID>~<CLNT>@"

So if we promote groups/authorizations to qa and prod system we have to add BW roles in each system.

E.g.

     DEV-System:

          DEV~001@BW_ROLE --> added to BO Group "BW"

     Promotion to QA-System:

          BO Group contains Role DEV~001@BW_ROLE and QA~002@BW_ROLE has to be added.

How to avoid this?

There is a similar issue with user which has been resolved by maintaing registry setting.
